Why does DxDesigner Ver. 9.x refresh the schematic window so often ?

SB Apr 1, 2010 1:29 AM

Hello,

we are DxDesigner and PADS users for many years. During evaluation of the new 9.x releases

we discovered a visual weakness: The schematic window refreshes as a whole for almost every

small activity, like clicking anywhere inside the window, selecting a part or wire, starting to move

something, finishing the movement. During the movement of the the detail window with the scroll

bars the window content is almost not visible because of the flickering.

This is quite bothersome.

This behavior is not present if one selects a part with the navigator window.

And this behavior is also not present in the 2007 and older versions.

Do you have the same behavior with your installations ?

Are there workarounds possible ?

Thank you for your feedback,

This is a function of the database that has been addressed in the forthcoming release and you will see addressed in PADS 9.2. There are no workarounds to the issue in the current release.

Thanks for the feedback.
We will check the behavior of the 9.2 beta version soon and will report our findings.

I have checked the Display behavior of the PADS 9.2 beta1 today:
The above described behavior - screen refreshes at almost every action - is gone.
The schematic window now acts as expected (There is only a small
discontinuation sometimes during vertical scrolling - that's ok.).

I am seeing what I believe is similar behavior in 9.5 is there a setting to address this? For my case it is the Navigator pane so maybe it is a different issue. Anyway every click, move, minimize etc it visibly has 3+ "scans" of the stuff in the navigator. I'm not sure if there are settings I can adjust like refresh rate or what. It makes Navigation a pain.

Ok as is normal, I found something after posting. Navigator ungainly for large projects I did find, that by removing all of the info tips formatting this improved navigation greatly and I'm not seeing the scanning of the Navigator tree. (though this still isn't great)
