slow 2d sheet symbols

Hello,

I’m experiencing an issue with 2D sheets where the program becomes very sluggish and stuttery, especially when I try to add dimensions, balloons, centerlines, text, or other symbols.

While creating or projecting new views takes a few seconds—which is acceptable—moving these views is somewhat slow but still manageable. However, adding symbols and dimensions, which I’d assume are simpler for the program to process, causes much more noticeable stuttering and slowdowns compared to placing or moving a view.

Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?

Thank you!

I am running ZW3D 2025
OS: Windows 10
CPU: i7 7700 HQ 2.8 GHz
GPU: GTX 1060
RAM: 16 GB DDR4

I’d try refreshing my User Folder.
Save a copy of the old one.
There is a while Help Section on User Folder management.
Please report back.
cheers - Paul

Tried and didnt work.
I suspect the issue might be with my custom templates. Another problem is that I can’t change the scale of a view once it’s placed. Interestingly, when I use a default template like ISO, everything works fine.

Previously, I used custom templates in ZW3D 2024, and they worked perfectly. However, after copying them to ZW3D 2025, they started behaving oddly. For example, details became unusable, sections were incomplete, many lines were missing, and hatching appeared randomly.

To address this, I decided to recreate the templates from scratch, following the same steps I used for ZW3D 2024:

  1. Opened a new 2D sheet.
  2. Edited the custom title block, sheet border, and styles.
  3. Saved everything to the resources folder.

Despite this, I’m still experiencing issues. Is there a proper or recommended way to create custom templates to ensure they work correctly in ZW3D 2025?
