Hello,
I receive dwg files with plans from an architectural office (which uses Vectorworks). These dwg files are terribly heavy to handle with Qcad.
Zooming, drawing lines, saving the file, ... is very painful).
The size of the file is however reasonable (1.7 Mo)

architectural plans :

PA_211220_plans.dwg: (1.66 MiB) Downloaded 409 times

I am used to working with dwg plans sometimes much heavier (5 - 10 Mb) and I don't encounter these problems.

Thank you for your advice to be able to work in a more "comfortable" way.

QCAD version: 3.27.1.0
Qt version: 5.14.2
OS: Linux
OS version: 20.04

This drawing is heavenly loaded with hatch pattern. That cost QCAD a lot of time to render the drawing ...

Move all hatches to a new layer (Menu/Misc/Layer) and switsch that new Hatch layer to invisible. Should make it less painful to work with ...

Same story here:

Please also read the last two lines.

We've been seeing more hatches lately that are coded incorrectly.
