"Not responding" delay when switching from model to layout block

Post by Eelie » Thu Feb 02, 2023 2:37 pm

I am running version 3.27.9.0 on Windows 11/64, although I first noticed this problem with the previous version.
I have a building extension drawing set up with several layout blocks for drawings. I am finding that the first time I switch from the model to any of the layout blocks after opening the file there is a delay of about 40sec before the layout block appears. If I double click again during this delay the screen whites out and a "Not Responding" message appears at the head of the window. After the first time, switching between the model and layout blocks happens instantly.

Eelie,
I think we need a drawing file to verify what can be the matter.
A 40sec delay is long and can occur depending the drawing file but only on the initial switch is rather odd. :?

That is Windows itself ... The application is busy and doesn't respond to additional mouse clicks.
The question remains with what is it busy?
