mr2 slower than mr1

[Programinator]

has anyone noticed that mr2 is slower than mr1 at things like translating or rotating geometry. on my pc its slower. Is it just me?

[1 master]

me too. even prints slower. also cant use the shift key when selecting folder in the op mananger.

[Programinator]

The shift key works for me its just everything is slow

[Redfire427]

Everything is slower in MR2. Toolpath generation times is a joke.

[Programinator]

wow so its not just me. i wish everything was as fast as v9. I like all the improvements but the lag is getting to me

Verify rendering for me in mr2 is nearly non usable, selecting and deselecting ops using surface geo lags forever.

What a step backwards, modifing operation surfaces is a mess, my mouse also starts sprinting across screen. Is there a fix coming soon? Is this a bug?

What are you using for a mouse driver?

 

If you're using a 3rd party, ie: logitech, microsoft you might try uninstalling the add-on driver and using the generic mouse driver that comes with windoze.

I'm involved in the maintenance and operation of

8 different computers running X2_MR2 and I've never seen this on any of them.

Is it a wireless mouse?? Are you using a mouse theme?? A screen saver running in the background??

Could be all sorts of things, but I don't think it is a Mastercam issue.

I don't see the lag issue people are complaining about either, but we're running pretty stout computers here (3.0 Xeons/4gig Ram/Quadro FX3450 video)

2 things that I always do no matter how hot my computer is...

Turn off the windows eyecandy

Set mouse themes to None

Both of these are huge drains on sytem resourses

and can cause strange behavior in any Cad system

Thanks JP, Gcode for the info. The mouse thing has happened on other apps. but never before on MC pre MR2. I will check out what I can.

gcode, Wow! what a simple fix so far so good.
