Hello all

Is there any way to reduce the time delay while inserting a block.The block is a dwg file located in a different directory.

Is this possible with arx.

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean ModelSpace(PaperSpace).InsertBlock() method is slow? I do not
think it'll make noticeable difference between ObjectARX and VBA, and even
AutoLIST/Manual Inserting, if you only do inserting. If you do intensive
searching/matching on a big drawing prior to inserting, there may be
difference regarding the "speed". Usually, it is the size of block(drawing)
and network (if the file is located somewhere on the network), CPU, memory,
harddrive speed... play a factor here.

Thanks Norman for your suggestions.

Actually it was the size of the file which led to the time delay.
I purged the drawing to reduce the size but still there were
no change in the dwg size.Finally found that there were
lots of unused dictionary objects in the drawing which accounted for the dwg filesize.I removed all the unused dictionary object and now the file size decreased to 1/10 of
the original size. I found the inser to faster now.
