Re: Xara pro, i5 vs i7 or Hyperthreading vs non Hyperthreading ?
i dont run Autocad at all, but "DWG trueview 2019", to export the files to PDF which i import to Xara.
I do have Quadro K2000 on two S32D850 screens.
The PC runs with 12GB RAM, maybe i should upgrade ...
In the attachment you will a bomb, open it only if you can restart xara without losing data, or you will need some minutes.
just ungroup the objects. you will get an error with xara --> restart or wait.
... just wait.
The Task Manager tells you ~ 30% CPU power, no GPU.Attachment 124419Attachment 124418

Re: Xara pro, i5 vs i7 or Hyperthreading vs non Hyperthreading ?
if your i7 has more cores and an enhanced avx implementation you should notice the difference with corel painter, maybe harmony... but as far as know xara does not support avx any more than it does GPU, and whilst it has 'multicore support' I have never seen it use more than one core though to be fair I don't look that often
Re: Xara pro, i5 vs i7 or Hyperthreading vs non Hyperthreading ?
ok thanks - that loaded fine with no delay - and took less than 30 seconds to ungroup - 12414 objects - in designer pro 15.1
AMD 6300 [which does not have avx] running at about 3.5 GHz 3 core [6 thread]
32GB DDR3
GTX 1070 GPU
edit - just reran to check and get 12422 objects - there appears to be more than one group ? - 4 in total by the looks of it
Re: Xara pro, i5 vs i7 or Hyperthreading vs non Hyperthreading ?
cpu usage went briefly up to 21% and GPU 3% - memory steady at 14%
is the error you get the blue text on white windows message that tells you the program is not responding and to wait or close? - that is normal if the operation is taking a while...
Re: Xara pro, i5 vs i7 or Hyperthreading vs non Hyperthreading ?
ungroup goes quite fast.
but just click on the side to deselect all. this takes time.
btw way i count 15905 objects.
an i do have bigger artworks with same pattern.
i had to do this to sect the four groups for different outline thickness.
Re: Xara pro, i5 vs i7 or Hyperthreading vs non Hyperthreading ?
15905 objects yes - there are nested group[s]
deselecting takes no longer than ungrouping for me about 25 seconds
Re: Xara pro, i5 vs i7 or Hyperthreading vs non Hyperthreading ?
Removing all groups and selecting all takes mine 2 seconds.
Deselecting the same is around 12 seconds.

FWIW - I exported it as ai file and opened it in illustrator CS2 - opened in 2 secs ungrouped in 3 secs

For tweaking AutoCAD files you might like to try Draftsight :-
https://www.3ds.com/products-service...ad-draftsight/
It used to be free but has gone to paid for in the 2019 version although there is a 30 day free trial.
Not all Nvidia 'Quadro' cards are created equal.
I have an M2000 @ work for CAD/CAD/Graphics, and a GTX 1050-Ti @ home to do the same and play my favourite game Elite Dangerous. Solidworks complains about my 1050, but does work.
