AD lagging with many spinning wheels


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Been using AD for some months now, after deciding to switch from CorelDraw (CD). I acknowledge AD is in its infancy and therefore has all the attendant issues, but the only comparison I can make is with CorelDraw.

 

Since installing on my late 2011 Macbook Pro (8GB, running El Capitan) I've experienced lag when snapping - and mini-hangs with spinning wheels when using boolean ops. When snapping to an object the snap was instant in CD - no lag. These seem to happen when working on graphics with very high objects counts.

 

I'm also experiencing the same lag/spinning wheel when deleting the (often) multitude of orphan lines that seem to follow of any boolean operation. It can take several seconds to 'capture' all via kick and drag method. AD's booleans produce an incredible amount of these and they take time to remove. It takes longer when searching for these in the Layers panel. Again, CD produces very few.

 

I work with files that have many, many objects and this seems to be a challenge for AD. Unfortunately AD does not have the import filters I need (but have added to Feature Requests thread) and the number of objects may relate to the workaround (converting to pdf and then importing). The lag is making AD slower to use than CD.

 

Has/is anyone experiencing this too? I will be grateful if anyone can shine a light on what is going happening. 

 

Thanks.
