C3D-10 Import takes forever

[whurlbutt]

I've been importing points into a database using Trimble Link. The imports take a long time, 1000 points takes about 15 minutes. I have been trying to be patient, but should it really be taking this long? I've tried changing my database settings for no adjustments, as this is topo shots only, with no change. Do I just need to be patient? Or am I missing something? Thanks for your help.

I haven't tried using that option, so not sure what you might be seeing. However, I know that processing field books can take forever if the Survey Database is on a server, instead of a local computer. Similarly, LandXML export can take forever if you try to dump the data to the server instead of to a file on your local computer.

Not sure if you're running into something like that, or if you're running into another problem with Trimble Link. The API for creating Cogo Points in C3D is currently very slow, so that might have something to do with it, too. Once Cogo Points can be accessed via .NET instead of via COM, we should be able to get better performance via the API. But that might also have something to do with it.

Thanks! Moving the database from the server to my C: drive cut the 15 minute wait down to under 2 minutes. Much appreciated.
