Slow Dialogue Menus

Slow Dialogue Menus

Slow Dialogue Menus

(OP)
Has anyone one experienced slow dialogue menus in NX7? For example, when press rectangle, the dialogue box takes 7 seconds to load. It does this for about half the tools I use. Sick and tired of looking at that windows spinny circle!!
UGNX 7 -64 bit, I7 processor, 8 gig ram, Quadro 1800.
Thanks!

RE: Slow Dialogue Menus

Exactly which 'Rectangle' dialog are you talking about?

From my experience, the worst dialog in terms of the time it takes to open the first time in a session (once a dialog has been opened in a session it's cached so it will be quicker the next time you open it) has generally been the new 'Hole' feature (introduced in NX 5.0) dialog which takes approximately 3 or 4 seconds on my Dell M4500 (Intel i7, 4 GB memory, Quadro FX 880M, Windows 7) running NX 7.5.  When it was first released, this dialog took maybe 5 or 6 seconds but they've sped it up over the last couple of releases.

At the moment, I'm not aware of any dialog today which takes more than 5 seconds maximum to open, and then only the first time it's accessed in a session.

It's the rectangle tool in modeling. I actually timed it this morning. From the time I hit the button till the time the cursor was available to pick a point was 8 seconds. Then, after picking the first point, a further 8 seconds till I was able to pick the next  point. I did this repeatedly with the same result. I get similar results with basic curves, and spline, at about 5 second intervals. Interestingly, studio spline has no lag whatsoever. It has been like this since the install. Weird. Any thoughts?

RE: Slow Dialogue Menus

On my Dell laptop, opening and selecting points using the...

Insert -> Curve -> Rectangle...

...dialog took a second or less for each action., typical of what I would expect.
