Fine-Tune Vault Client Performance

Certain settings in the Vault client application can affect performance in the client as well as the Vault add-ins.

Customize the View Command

This is a commonly used setting in the Vault client program. It is used to add information to display grids. Usually, this does not have much additional impact on performance. However, some display fields, such as the thumbnail property, may take a longer to display. Enabling these settings only on an 'as needed' basis can help to improve day-to-day performance.

Memory

Add-ins for design applications consume additional memory. The amount of memory they consume is typically small, but in certain circumstances, it makes sense to review the memory usage on the client. The most common problems occur when the original client CAD model uses most of the available memory of a computer before introducing a vault into the workflow. Please refer to the Server Memory section for additional instructions on how to review the memory usage on your systems.

Disk Performance

Like the server, client computers can suffer from disk fragmentation as well. The concept of analyzing disk fragmentation is the same for both clients and servers.
