Anyone else having problems when adjusting corners of many nodes at the same time?


Recommended Posts

Hey there,

sometimes when I want to adjust many node corners (the radius of curved corners in my cases) at the same time AD tends to freeze for a few minutes before it has been able to make all changes. Is this normal behaviour? The strange thing is that it only occurs sometimes in some files. It also seems to happen more likely the longer I am working continuously on a file.

Anybody else having this sort of issues?

Chris

Are you able to provide a copy of a file where this issue occurs? If you'd like a private upload link for this, please let me know.

Can you also provide a screenshot of your settings under Edit > Preferences > Performance for me?

Many thanks in advance :)

Please Note: I am now out of the office until Tuesday 2nd April on annual leave.

If you require urgent assistance, please create a new thread and a member of our team will be sure to assist asap.

Many thanks :)

Hi Dan,

thanks for the fest response.

As it is an work in progress for a commission (not yet approved by the customer) I would only share it privately and only with the layers containing the multiple lines.

Here is a screenshot of my preferences:

No problem at all, I certainly understand!

Can you please upload this to the below link for me, then reply here to let me know once this has been uploaded?

Many thanks for providing this for me! I'd like to try a few different options.

Firstly, please change the 'Darstellung' option to Metal, restart the app as prompted and then try editing once again.

If this doesn't seem to change the behaviour, please try unticking Hardware-Beschleunigung at the bottom of the dialog, restart the app and try again once more. (Note the Darstellung should remain as Metal at this time.

If there is still no improvement, please return the Darstellung option to OpenGL, whilst leaving Hardware-Beschleunigung unticked, and restart the app once more.

Do you see any noticeable differences with these options enabled/disabled?

Many thanks once again :)

I will try and see how the different options work.

Uploaded. For example: Try to adjust the corners of the S1 stroke - this one always causes freezing of the app.

 

Thanks again 😃 Chris

Many thanks for uploading that for me! I can confirm I've been able to replicate this issue both on Windows and Mac, therefore I'm getting it logged with our developers now :)

In my testing, there was not much noticeable difference with the above options enabled/disabled, so I believe this to be a more computational issue, rather than rendering or compositing.

I also tried different performance options and also without better results.

Hope this gets fixed in the next version as this can be annoying to waiting just for minor changes of the corner. 🙂
