Just a general query, 1. Would any of you be interested in having faster 3DS redraws, zooms, and pans by about 30-40%. 2. Would any of you want external drivers be able to display colored lines when performing edits, like the built in VGA. Just curious…if it's worth the work… Jack Bayt – Vibrant

1. faster redraws – yes! 2. coloured lines – you mean assigning colours to groups of objects? If so, yes.

Tsk,tsk,tsk… What a silly question. ABSOULTELY! In fact, It always annoys me when something like de-selecting a group of entities in a large mesh takes so long – heck, why can't it just do a a quick re-draw (of all viewports — which would often take less time) and zero the "selected" flags on each entity as it redrew, instead of the selective search & redraw (I know that this is a Yost issue, not a third party one, but I like to gripe in the mornings)? Also, the colors, esp. on the mapping icons is a MUST! Dave

Hi Jack, We spoke once when you were trying to sort something out, but you probably talk to a lot of people. I could probably throw a lot of adjectives together to forcefully make my point, but instead just let me say pleeease. reeedraaaawing sooo verrrry slooooowly, Roger D.

Here's my wish list: 1. Faster redraws 2. Faster redraws 3. Faster redraws It was really disappointing to see only marginal improvement switching to a VL-Bus mach32. I'm tired of hitting the ESCape key. Thanks for taking an interest. DanP PIMA/POV
