Larger jobs feeling non responsive? Performance & Best Practice Guidelines for CABINET VISION - Here is a list of things to check...

  • Multiple Applications Running
  • Grid and Snap to Point functions
  • Job File Location
  • Unused Drawing Scenes
  • Multiple Rooms in s Single Job
  • Temporary Files on the PC
  • Free Disk Space on the C: Drive
  • Avoiding Texture Mode in 3D
  • Network and Internet Connection

Multiple Applications Running

To optimise performance:

  • Close VORTEK Spaces while actively working in CABINET VISION. Only have both programs open when you are transferring updates between them.
  • Close any unnecessary software such as web browsers, email clients, or other background programs.
  • If Outlook must remain open, ensure your system has at least 32 GB of RAM to avoid performance issues.

 

Grids and Snap-to-Point Functions

  • Keep Grids and Snap-to-Point features disabled by default.
  • Only enable them when specifically required to avoid unnecessary strain on system resources.

 

Job File Location

  • Save active jobs locally to your C: drive while working. This provides significantly faster performance.
  • Once the job is complete, move it to a server or shared drive for storage.
  • Important: Saving jobs directly to a network location can result in slower performance and increase the risk of file corruption.

 

Unused Drawing Scenes

  • After deleting scenes, remove any unused entries from the Available Scene List.
  • This step is critical for keeping the Job File Size manageable and improving PC performance.

 

Multiple Rooms in a Single Job

  • For large projects, split multiple rooms into separate job files.
  • This improves performance and makes the project easier to manage.

 

Temporary Files on the PC

  • Regularly clear temporary files, especially in the Output folder, to reduce data buildup and maintain system efficiency.

 

Free Disk Space on the C: Drive

  • Ensure your C: drive has at least 50 GB of free space.
  • More space is recommended to allow CABINET VISION to operate at peak performance.

 

Avoiding Texture Mode in 3D

  • Use Wire Mode in the Layout 3D View during detailing tasks.
  • This reduces graphical load and increases responsiveness during design work.

 

Network and Internet Connection

  • Always use a wired Ethernet connection instead of Wi-Fi.
  • This provides a more stable and consistent connection, which is especially important for license validation and accessing network-hosted files or servers.
