How to: Improve Speed of AutoCAD Analysis and Import

Sometimes the import can be slow, especially with a lot of references and files that have many attributes. If you have attributes in the Model space that you do not need, you can speed up the analysis by filtering out the attribute analysis for the Model space, and only reading attributes for the drawing.

Instructions

You can filter out the search for attributes in the model by following the steps below. Please note, you require Admin access to change this file located on the server.

1. Locate the OcmDwgManager.ini file on the server located at C:\ProgramData\Open Domain\OCM Service\[CAD Manager]\Packages\Standard\Basic\FileManagers\DwgManager

2. Set AcadDoNotParseLayoutsByName to Model (or uncomment the line if it already exists).
