hollywinskell Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 i don't know if the file size is maybe too large; however i've been trying to use layers to add a section to a plan. not only is my laptop running incredibly slowly, i literally cannot click on any element on the page and affinity has also opened an <embedded> file which reopens every time i try to quit it. Please help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollywinskell Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 affinity is now running so slowly i can not make any changes to any documents as the lag is so bad! I have plenty of ram on my mac and so am really at a loss to why im having such major issues as ive used this program for years and never experience issues until the last few weeks. Any ideas on how to get round this gratefully accepted. I have tried restarting program and mac as well as the program and working on smaller files - all to no avail!

hollywinskell Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 have now also downloaded a windows trial and opened the document on this. As soon as it was opened it went to not responding. out of ideas now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted February 19, 2020 Staff Share Posted February 19, 2020 Hi hollwinskell and thanks for uploading the file. The problem is due to the embedded PDFs, which are loading with thousands of individual curves. The new beta of Designer has a feature where it will group these together, which results in a smoother workflow. But it would mean re-creating the file in the beta version. I'll drop you a PM with a download for a revised version of the file, which should work better. You would have to open it in the beta which you can download from here, the beta installs alongside the release version. I'll send you that PM now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
