RealCADD and iPocket Draw

Can you try on as another user without extension ?

Sorry Eric I don't quite understand what you want me to do??

Cheers -- George

EDIT – and I seem to get the same problems with earlier versions – I went back to v. 5.21. So I guess it must be my laptop. I ran EtreCheck and it said Performance ...

Hi Eric

Yes at higher zooms it does get slower.

I took a couple of screenshot movies which show the problems I'm having. †hese are after about 10 minutes or so. It does get worse than that if you persist.

Hi Eric

To answer your questions:

It doesn't seem to be particularly related to total number of objects or a particular drawing. On the drawing I am working on at the moment there are currently 4116 objects – not a huge number – and about 3000 of those could be converted to four polygons, so would ...

Hi Eric

I am still getting problems running v.5.41 on a non-M chip MacBook Air. It starts off just fine. Very fast everything OK. Then it gradually gets slower and slower until it's basically not usable. So I quit and restart – and then its fine again until it starts to slow down as before and ...

Thanks Eric!

And it does appear to be very much faster with the M1 chip – though it's hard to tell without a Tools menu!

Hi Eric

So I installed RealCADD on my other laptop (which has an M1 chip) to see if PDF extracts worked faster, and entered my registration number etc. All good, RC knows it's me. But the Tools window won't show!!!!! All the rest are there OK. And go away if I deselect them. If I use a keyboard ...

Hi Eric

With complicated drawings – specially (maybe only?) with those extracted from a PDF – v. 5.40 is very slow. Almost unusable at times. So, after I extract a drawing, I revert to using v. 5.31 which is much faster on the same extracted drawing.

Maybe there should be a means of turning the ...
