NX5 - Add View
NX5 - Add View
(OP)
I have a certified M90 Notebook, Dual Core 2.33GHz, with 2GB (soon to be 4GB) of RAM.
The machine runs fine, except when adding views to drawings. It just seems to take forever, and I can't figure out what could be the cause.
Just adding a view of a simple Block takes 7-8 seconds.
Could it be my graphics card, or a setting within NX ? Anyone have any suggestions for me ?

RE: NX5 - Add View
Check with your notebook manufacturer before upgrading RAM as some tend to "Bubble" when you max out the memory meaning that although there is more it runs at least as slowly because the mother board isn't really set up to manage that amount. Someone might correct that layman's description of the term, but knowing the term itself may be enough to be able to put the question to a technical person before you go down that route.

Believe it, or not, the poor response is because I was connected to my office license server via VPN.
If I use the license server on my Notebook, then the response time for adding a view is excellent.

Changing modules is fine. It's just adding the view where there is an extremely noticeable delay.

I wonder what is happening and why? Phil if this makes sense you could always try and see if it chases out anything that we can hang an explanation around for you, but it sounds like a job for the Pros at GTAC to me.
Best of Luck

The file is on my hard drive.
Running NX5 out-of-the-box using a local license, geometry is simply a 100x100x100 Block, adding the base views and projected views is pretty much instant.
Accessing the license through VPN, and you're looking at several seconds to place the base view and subsequently display the projected views.
I have to agree with John though, there shouldn't be any licensing activity.
