[PEDA] Many parts, slow Protel

[Jakub M.]

[PROTEL 99 SE]

Another my problem with this version of Protel is slow performance when many parts are loaded into PCB designer (sounds obvious).

My computer has 1.7GHz Celeron, 256MB RAM, not That bad; I have loaded over 600 parts on PCB; now when I drag-and-drop a part, the enviroment freezes for about 3 seconds (paralyzing my work!). I have turned off all on-line DRC, but it didn't improved the performance.

Question:

Is there a possibility to "turn off" parts that I am not currently using? So all on-line chceckings and so one would be applied only to some small part of whole project? What Protel is checking so long if DRC is turned off?

Regards,
JM
