slow saving

[rmetzger]

I'm running SW 2004 sp 2.1 and it is terribly slow when saving documents and assemblies and rebuilding after a change (2 minutes plus). Computer speed and network access do not seem to be the problem (1.7Ghz and 1 G of RAM) and other programs seem to run fast. I ran a defrag and came up with lots of fragmented files in the cosmosworks installation but no other problems of note. Any ideas - suggestions other than dumping the install and starting from scratch?

Saving eDrawings data can slow things down, so can having Verification on Rebuild enabled. This is all found in Tools> Options> System Options.

Perhaps you should also try to download the latest SP for SW04 if you are on subscription.

Have you checked out all the other FAQ's in this forum? There are other maintainence areas you need to check into besides what you have done already.

Also:

You didn't list all your Hardware, Video Card & drivers?
What else runs in the background while your working with SW?
Do you work over the network? If so, try moving the file locally and see what happens.
