Very slow DXF import in Version 7
-
Has anybody noticed how slow DXF import is in the new version?
The attachment imports in less than a second in V6 and takes up to 20 seconds in V7.
What gives?!
-
The funny thing is that the import time improves when I enable Sketchup communications in my firewall?! Now I am really confused...
-
Was pretty much instantaneous for me, so im guessing its your firewall doing something funny.
-
very fast in 1 second
-
Definitely way within a second (on my office "craputer"
) -
Very fast for me too, about a second, over four years old 2.8 GHz P IV, 1.5 GB RAM.

Ta, it's the firewall then.(?!)
-
I don't see how a firewall should interfere with an file import. Unless,... can DXF files contain XRefs?
-
Dxf files are ascii (simple text) descriptions of the entities in a file. A dxf contains information about xrefs, but in itself can not contain a xref.
It is my understanding that if the file being imported is on another machine within a network, in theory, a firewall could affect the file transfer. If this is the case, ask your network administrator to make sure that dxf files are an exception.
