Hi Chris, tested on build 6403, macbook pro early 2015 16gb ram, i7, no issues with legacy canvas while zooming and panning. My project is not quite large but even when grid shown, no problem here. However meanwhile i found strange behavior after project opening nothing is shown until i press re

Hi, I got a trace and that doesn’t look very different to what e.g. I see on my machine. One observation is that we are spending almost 1/3 of the drawing time in drawing the grid. Unfortunately, on OSX wxWidgets DrawPoint() has no native expression, so it is mapped to drawing a line (x, y, x+

He can install xcode but isn't familiar with it (does embedded development, but not PC) - is this something that would be relatively easy to do for an otherwise computer-literate non-developer? On Dec 22, 2015 4:57 AM, "Bernhard Stegmaier" wrote: > I did the profiling Adam mentioned and found tha

I did the profiling Adam mentioned and found that dotted/dashed lines didn’t work well in pcbnew and footprint editor. This was fixed in rev6278. How complex is the project? Compared to some of the demo projects? Does he have Xcode on his machine? I could provide some hints on how to make a prof

IIRC, OS X doesn't have an XOR draw mode. After a certain size PCB, PCBnew legacy graphics on OS X is unusable. This size is much lower than it is in Linux, on the same hardware. Someone awesome on the list, I forget who right now, did some profiling and fixed a wx issue that was causing some sl

Okay, this is just a quick call for information for now, not sure if this is a known issue (and I'm relaying from a friend, don't have one here to test) - have any OSX users noticed some severe slowness in the legacy graphics (including eeschema) while panning, zooming, and picking up and moving ob
