Hi everyone.
This is a thread to share with anyone who does not know already that disabling the automatic internet news feed in the settings on the home page will drastically improve overall performance in the software with it's memory and less lag.
I remember there being a page to post these suggestions directly to Hexagon but I don't know where it is. Can someone post the suggestion link below?
They need to disable this automatic news updates and not have them be preset to be on if it causes this much of an issue. I don't know why it bogs down the software so bad but it's just another issue with PC-DMIS and this one is so avoidable. I know they want to advertise all of their Hexagon subsidiary stuff. It's so silly that something like that causes so many issues.
As another suggestion for Hexagon too, they need to reconsider the computers they supply with their CMM's. 8GB of ram? Old generation i5? And this is from a 2021 purchase. Barely passable GPU. This seems to be a standard computer setup that is given with their machines and it's frustrating with the memory issues that happen constantly due to these computers. I've seen this kind of computer on a few global CMM's now and SF electric 7.10.7's. I can't be the only one that recognizes the memory issues also stems from the computer. If you haven't restarted your computer in a day, they can lock up, not let you get to the control panel, open excel, PC-DMIS frozen.. etc. You have to manually force a restart.
Little bit of venting here but it's hard understand $100,000 CMM's coming with a computer cheaper than $700. Because I could build or buy something better for $500.
Thanks!
