x4 rotate arrows lagging?

[mikalele]

is it just me or is there an irritating lag in 4.0 when you second-click an object to rotate?

I tried same file in v3 and it is much more responsive

I've not noticed this so far. I assume this is a file originally created in v3 (else you may have mentioned the error msg's v3 shows when opening a v4 file). Does the file have any v3 Live Effects ?

Are you able to post the .xar in question?

[mikalele]

this is independent from the file. it also happens with new files with just rectangle on it. it takes about half a second after the second click for the rotate arrows to appear.

Yes I see what you mean now. I can confirm this slight delay in Xtreme4 on my PC using Vista Ultimate.

I reckon it is slower than it used to be now you come to mention it

I too can see it - have both 4 and 3.2 pro installed, and I can see about a half second delay in 4 before the icons change.. but personally, I use the ability to move the cursor close to the selection handles and have it just change to the rotation arrow. This way doesn't appear to cause any delays.

probably why I haven't noticed it before - I think I tend to do similar

I've noticed the delay in Vista and XP. Some designs require the center of rotation to be moved to a specific point before rotating. The new feature only rotations around the center point of the object.

[mikalele]

that's right

if you want to move the center of rotation it becomes very obvious.

i don't like the lag.

The new feature only rotations around the center point of the object.

Bill I don't see that this has changed from version 3? I simply move the axis point, then rotate as before.. Perhaps I misunderstood your meaning
