IES 2017 is slow!

Post by L Headley »

Why is the new version of IES considerably slower when doing the normal activities such as switching tabs in tabular data?

Even on a small project, this is slow. Have the minimum PC requirements changed for the latest version?

I am using one of my companies CAD desktops which runs software such as AutoCAD and Revit fine, but IES just seems to be operating at a snail's pace now.

Has anyone else noticed this?

I've noticed it as well. Can't select a room group of more than 10 rooms without it slowing down. Have never had this problem before the update.

Yes, the tabular data is INCREDIBLY slow!!!! I have to wait 2-3 minutes to see the data! And if I have to change some numbers for all rooms, it becomes just a NIGHTMARE! It takes 2 minutes for each number that I have to change. This is just RIDICULOUS.

I've noticed a few bugs with the tabular editing, but overall no difference in speed. Were these models that were upgraded, or new ones? There are always issues that pop up for me when upgrading models. Other than that, I'd try completing uninstalling all VEs, and reinstalling - that fixed one of the bugs for me - or just running iesfix.exe in the installation folder.
