I'm not realy aware of this thing, but it sounds like replacing normal parts
by boxes in order to reduce drawing time?!
Maybe I should tell you some tricks for MLCad now, since I've introduced a
new rendering code in MLCad V2.00 which speeds up drawing a lot. All
settings I'm talking about now can be found in menu
"Settings/General/Change..." in the section "Rendering".
If this is not wan't you want leave me note, but please give this options a try.
1) "Edit-mode options" - "Stud mode":
Here you can select how stud's shell be drawn:
NONE - Turns off drawing,
LINES - Replaces studs with lines (as in ledit)
COARSE - Uses less detailed studs
NORMAL - Normal studs
For highest performance use LINES or NONE.
1) "General options" - "Optimisations":
This option nearly eleminates the privious one since this effects the new
rendering engine.
OFF - Turns off optimisations (same as V1.99)
MINIMUM, MEDIUM, MAXIMUM increases stepwice the level of internal
optimisation routines. MEDIUM, MAXIMUM has a slight impact on the image
quality, however in normal cases you will not notice any thing.
Using MAXIMUM allows using NORMAL studs, whithout any noticeable impact on
drawing speed.
Regards,
Michael
