How long does it take for some menus to open?

How long does it take for some menus to open?

How long does it take for some menus to open?

(OP)
I was curious how much time other peoples computers takes to open some menus, namely the customer defaults, file properties or file/new. I'm talking about when I have an empty file. On my machine it takes 1.5 to almost 2 seconds just to open these menus. I'm working in NX8.5 right now. Am I wrong in expecting these menus to open instantly? I have a powerful 64bit Dell Precision 7810 with 32mg of ram but am beginning to suspect something is wrong with it. Also I have the Windows 7 Basic desktop theme applied.

Are you using teamcenter?

No... I have a Mach 3 License with the PDW wizard, but I was told by someone at GTAC that the PDW wizard does use some pieces of Teamcenter.

If you had teamcenter I would recommend cleaning out your Newstuff folder. This is what takes the file open box a long time to open up.

RE: How long does it take for some menus to open?

All of the dialogs you mention require reading files.
Are you perhaps on a slow network?

Look in the syslog for this area, and see if NX is looking somewhere slow for info:
No user customizations read from UGII_PACKAGE_DIR - environment variable is not set
No user customizations read from UGII_SITE_DIR - environment variable is not set
No user customizations read from UGII_GROUP_DIR - environment variable is not set
Processing customer default values file <IS THIS LOCATION SLOW?>NX100_user.dpv
