Plotting woes - imperial units to scale

JasinPaul's Photo JasinPaul 18 Mar 2021

Why is it taking so long to generate plots when trying to print to scale using imperial units? I've seen it as high as 4 hours to generate a preview?

Also, how do I get the plotter to plot imperial units to scale. If I set the scale to anything other than 1mm = 1 I get the long generation times. 25.4 mm = 1, 1 inch = 1, 1 inch = 25.4. They all have the same issue with long generation times.

Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and a possible solution before I send in a support ticket?

Well I've certainly stumbled upon a bug with a significant memory leak. I had nanoCAD pushing 4gb's of ram while trying to plot, normal usage is around 650mb
as nanoCAD eats up memory, the time to generate a plot increases. See attached image ~7 hours
