Capture CIS Unusably Slow

DenzilPenberthy
DenzilPenberthy over 3 years ago

Hi,

I usually use Design Entry HDL which works fine for me.  I now have to do a time urgent project to modify some boards which were designed in Capture CIS.

I've got it installed and the database set up ok I think, but it is unusably slow, I can't get any work done.

It takes over an hour to open my project and over 20 minutes to switch between schematic pages.  Even just bringing down e.g. the Edit or View menu is over 1 minute.  The 'thinking' circle next to my mouse pointer is constantly flickering even when I'm not doing anything with the software.

Initially I thought this must be a problem with my libraries etc being stored remotely and me trying to work from home over a VPN. But even with everything stored locally on my office PC with the libraries installed on my C:\ drive it is this bad. (it was worse when working remote: >2.5hrs to open schematic)

Any clues why I'm having this problem?

Cheers!
