Slow volumill dialog

[guidoc]

I just noticed a pretty noticeable lag in the volumill window. As previously discussed the process dialogs are pretty slow to load in V14 - this is a slightly different issue. When I try to change the feedrates in the volumill windows the box is very very slow to update with keystrokes and the coolant command list blinks very rapidly. It usually goes something like this:

Click in the feedrate box and highlight what's in there. Type new feed rate in - nothing populates in the box yet. Coolant list blinks rapidly....then first number of the feedrate populates. Then the coolant list blinks rapidly again, then second number populates. Then coolant list blinks rapidly, then third number populates. It usually takes 2-3 seconds per digit on the feedrate.

there is also a delay with the cut width box as well. There the whole dialog flashes (as if refreshing?) and there is a delay digit by digit, but usually just a few microseconds (but annoyingly noticeable).

Anyone else see this?

I reported this as a bug to support. They are aware and are working on a solution. In terms of lag, 14.0.10 improved the lag considerably in most places, with the exception of Roughing processes and Volumill processes. 14.0.<10+x> is supposed to address the roughing process.

This all has to do with the changeover from old dialog processing to new, from what I learned from support. 14.0.10 is markedly better than 14.0.8.

Thanks George. I'm on 14.0.9 I'll have to check out 14.10.
