I'm having a big problem with drawing save time and I keep coming back to the fields as the problem.
I have created titleblocks with fields (from our old tblocks using ttf and attributes), and section markers etc. (ttf and attributes from our old blocks).
Everyone here is used to working with multi layout tabs but I estimate that for each layout tab (with our new tblock) adds 2 seconds to the save time. Also, using our section marker blocks compared to our old ones adds 15 seconds to the save time on a test drawing.
I was very careful in making these blocks and titleblocks, they are audited, purged, at 0,0, limits set, correct layers etc. They are also considerably smaller in file size than the old blocks. The only difference is they now have fields.
The problem is not so bad when you only have one layout per drawing (as Autodesk suggests), but people here don't want to have to change how they work all the time.
I don't believe that true type fonts are only to blame either, as we've been using them with little trouble for years.
Has anyone experienced similar problems?
Thanks,
Jason
