Hardney Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hi, simple question: is there a way to label my surface contours without having to undergo the whole surface generation/analysis because of the labels every time I reload the surface of open the drawing?

Hardney Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Might have been to simple for me so didn't explain adequately. Ok, when I label my surface's contours, every time I open a drawing in which the surface is Data shortcuted or the actual surface drawing, there is always a kind of regeneration that happens to the surface to update the contours labels I guess. My surface is pretty big, so every time it regenerates it takes not that much time but just long enough to annoy me and wanting to skip that whole process. Basically, the contour labeling process implies a quite long regeneration of the surface every time I open a drawing or reload a xref in which the surface is referenced. Is it a bit clearer? Does it happen to you? Thanks for answering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustysilo Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Haven't experienced that, but then we don't fully utilize the program so... I would try one of two things; split the surface up into smaller surfaces, or use regular text to label the contours if you believe the labels to be the problem.
