Each time after the user copied and pasted entities, deleted entities, or uses the undo and redo commands, etc. C&G will scan the drawing for point symbols. This made working on a drawing very slow. It will no longer occur after using these AutoCAD commands.
NOTE - About C&G Scanning the Drawing:
C&G must maintain a list of point symbol entities currently in the drawing for the purposes of removing points from the screen, picking points, etc. If you copy points from one drawing to another, delete C&G point entities using AutoCAD commands, use UNDO and/or REDO, etc. it can cause C&G point symbols to be added and/or removed from the drawing. This can cause C&G to not recognize a point symbol. If the scanning operations are too slow you can turn off the scanning. If you do not use copy-paste or other AutoCAD commands to alter, remove or create C&G point symbols, then the scanning is completely unnecessary.
- you can now turn off scanning for C&G points by unchecking "C&G Point Scanning ON" on the "General" tab of the "C&G Options" dialog. You can also use the CGTools menu: if the "C&G Point Scanning" menu item is checked, click on it to turn off point scanning.
