Hello, can anyone explain why just recently ZW is taking forever to open files that normally open in under a second. Right now, most files are taking in excess of 60 seconds to open. The same applies when saving. These are just my typical files that I have been working with for the last couple of years without this issue. This is beginning to seriously eat into my day. I must be losing at least 60 minutes a day waiting for ZW to open or save files. Any ideas anyone?
Regards
John
Do some error checking on the file. Slow suggest some form of corruption.
Make a copy first.
Copy the history into a new file and test.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for the reply. This is very weird. I did what you said, kind of. I just did a ‘save as’ of the affected files, keeping the file name exactly the same but copied into a different folder as not to overwrite the existing file. When I open the newly created file, they open in milliseconds as opposed to over 60 seconds. So, I guess I have a workaround. I just don’t know why this suddenly started happening. These are master model files that were fine. Thanks again for your suggestion.
Regards
John
Glad to see a resolution.
Its an old workaround.
Nobody knows why but sometimes the file gets corrupted and ZW3D cannot resolve the issue. Its attempt to make things right is why it takes time to open.
