hi Mjole, I just got your emails, I changed my config.pro to the options you stated "SPIN_RATE_ZOOM_SENSITIVE Yes*/No" I set the setting to "Yes". The changes were minimal. Just to give you some idea I changed the senisitive of the Spacepilot to maximum and got an improvement but the better...

Do you have a large drawing - in other words lots of views and a large drawing format and lots of text. Another thing to check is your CPU output. Do a CONROL+ALT+DELETE and your task manager will appear. Look at the graph on the right. That is your CPU usage, the graph on right is the amount of...

I have called Maverick solutions with problems with CATIA V5 questions and for the most part - the questions was half solved. The other half of the problem I figured out my self. I am under the impression that they have very limited experience with V4 to V5 migration.
