MisterJingles Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hi all I'm pulling my hair out with a jumpy drawing. Its a drawing of a site plan which I'm going to be xreffing into dozens of drawings in the coming months so need to solve it now. The xref itself is only 1.6MB in size. I've purged, audited, deleted surplus objects and all hatching. What else can I try? Its the only drawing I have which is jumpy and it not the biggest by a long shot. Thanks Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobDraw Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Is there a lot of text using True Type fonts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterJingles Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 ReMark - By jumpy I mean when you scroll in and out or pan through the drawing its jerky. Scribble you may be onto something there! RobDraw - If by true fonts you mean imported fonts, no, all I can see used is Arial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Arial is a TrueType font (TTF) as opposed to Simplex which is an AutoCAD SHX font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterJingles Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Arial is a TrueType font (TTF) as opposed to Simplex which is an AutoCAD SHX font. See that's why they pay you the big bucks. Ill go through the drawing now and report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Can you post the file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterJingles Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 SLW210 - I was in the process of uploading it but struggled to get the file size below the 1MB site restriction. Anyhow what I did was remove the hatching from the 5 Miniature sub-station blocks I had across the site and this has solved my problem. Bizarre actually, the hatch in those 5 objects equates to approximately 2 - 4% of the total hatch on the drawing, and yet the problem wasn't resolved until I removed it. Thanks for the help everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
