Enterprise Architect 7.5 Forum

This program runs very well, but I'm running it on a netbook, and sometimes it is very slow. But all the features works very good. If you have good machine, this can be a good software for UML modelling, and runs OK on Crossover for Linux.

I have tried to open mid sized project in EA 7.5 under linux and it is sloooooooow, so slow that it cannot be used. Additionally not all icons of the project tree are displayed properly.

A mid sized project, how many element are we talking about. The EAExample has just over 2000 elements and its loads in a resonable about of time for me.

Send a sceeenshot through to sparxsystems with the icons not displaying properly?

I cannot tell exactly how many element were in the project. Please look at the attached screenshot, you will see there the icons that are not as right as it should be as well as the opened design of the user front-end. Browsing, scrolling changing of scale is so slow that I cannot imagine myself working in that environment - I'm not that patient, especially knowing how it works in the Windows environment.

I have found that changing the renderer type to "Basic", made diagrams usable again (This appears to be an issue with certain XOrg versions)
The "Renderer" option can be found under
Tools -> Option - Diagram -> Appearance.

The tree corruption is something that I've not seen.

I have changed the rendering setting and indeed it helped. It is again usable.

Thanks for help.

Supposedly, EA8 has made changes to speed it up under Crossover. I haven't tested them fully myself, as I am working in a shared model environment (MySQL backend) and I don't want to risk borking the rest of the project team.
