This may be an important piece of the puzzle. Thanks for reporting it and for testing 3.0.9.JockeR wrote:I removed the 3DxOffice and 3DxAdobe drivers, and the delay when switching between application disappeared.
Change window in Pro/E Wildfire - slower than before
Moderator: Moderators
I'm having the same problem - a 5 second delay when switching windows in Pro/E. I've noticed a few things that might be of help:
- when switching from a window with an assembly to another window with an assembly, there is no delay
- when switching from a window with an assembly to a window with a part, the delay occurs.
- during the time that it takes to switch, I can see the display on the SpacePilot updating one field at a time (going from "Pro/ENGINEER Assembly1" to "Pro/ENGINEER Part1"). Everything is back to normal once the display gets updated.
This would also explain why removing drivers for office and acrobat fixed the problem for some - the display does not have to update if you switch to an application that has no driver associated with it.

Hi droche,
Could you please post your system details?
This is very helpful, yes. It certainly narrows the possibilities.droche wrote:I'm having the same problem - a 5 second delay when switching windows in Pro/E. I've noticed a few things that might be of help:

Unfortunately I have not had chance to load the latest driver 3.0.9. I am going to do that today and try to report back in a few days or when ever I have had a chance to evaluate it. As JockeR stated earlier, I have also unloaded the plug-in for Microsoft office and the problem went away (ver. 3.0.07).
Windows change in ProE
Hello,
I have the same problem when switching between windows in ProE WF 2.0. When I stop the spacepilot driver(v3-0-9), then ProE is back to normal. At this moment the waiting time when switching is 10 - 15 seconds. Very irritating!
When can i install a new driver? Will the v3.1.1-beta driver solve this problem?
greetings,
Peter

3.0.9 Still has it
I get this issue with switching between windows with the 3.0.9 version of the software. I'm using Wildfire 2 build M240. The problem gets progressively worse the more windows you have open. If I only have 2 windows open it may be virtually un-noticeable. If I open up say 5-10 windows, it gets unbearably slow. Slow to the point of aggravation and I have to just shut the driver down.
Hi,
I have been using the 3.1.3 beta drivers fore some days now, and delay when switching windows is now much better, meening that the delay now is very very short.
Actually, I haven't been experiencing any problems or annoyances with theses drivers so far.
Good job guys!

Hello,
Try as we might, we can't reproduce this problem in-house (but we do believe all of you <G>).
Can one of you who are experiencing this problem help us zero in on the culprit? Please uninstall 3DxProENGINEER (you will lose your 3DxProE menu and SpacePilot button functionality while it is uninstalled).
Go to the Add/Remove Panel, select 3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware, then Change, Modify, Next, and unselect 3Dconnexion Plug-in for Pro/ENGINEER, Next, Finish.
Let us know on this forum if this has an effect on the delays you are seeing.
Thanks.

Hello !
Just want to say thanks! The problem has been fixed very satisfyingly,
(after it had been very bothering - even to the point that I started
regretting having bought the space pilot).
After uninstalling the complete old drivers and software (simple update seems not to be sufficient) I downloaded the new 3.1.8 3DxSoftware and installed (only!) the plug-in for Pro/E v1.2.8 it worked very fine!
Switching between parts -> assy or drw, etc. works with almost no
delay.
Thank you!!
