Layout performance issues

[melissacain]

Hello,
Has there been a general slowdown in Layout? Lately, I've been experiencing extremely sluggish performance. I'm using the latest version of SU/Layout on a powerful workstation—a Xeon E3-1285v6 with 64GB of RAM, SSDs, and a Quadro P4000. While SU runs smoothly, Layout is the issue. Even when I'm not importing models, I frequently use it for simple tasks like importing images and adding text callouts. Today, I imported a model (~25 MB), and it became painfully slow when trying to work with views of the model.

Do you have any recommendations or advice? I’m unsure if it’s my workstation, but it handles everything else, including SU, just fine.

What is your Rendering mode? Raster, Vector or Hybrid?

My Rendering mode is Vector.

If you change it does performance improve?

Vector looks great in the viewport but it’s not ideal to work with it.
