    X2-dimensioning slower in elevations

    Does anyone notice a slower dimensioning speed in elevations...like dimensioning cabinets? I have no speed problem in plan, but it's a lot slower in elevations. It takes about 3 seconds to catch up with the cursor. It keeps up just fine in plan. Not sure if it's because my plan file is about 24 MBs so far.

    Yes they are slower, but they are also much more likely to catch what you want.

    You can speed these up by cutting down on the items visible in your elevation view. In particular things that are not visible, such as interior fixtures and cabinets when you dimensioning an exterior elevation.

    Are you using the latest update? We made some significant improvements in speed in that update.
