    Is there a way to speed up graphics. Regens take along time on larger cad files. Same file in acad regens quickly. I have the line type toggle set to solid.


    Thanks

    One thing to check is that TBC is configured to use the dedicated GPU and not onboard graphics. This might help. 

    Must be NVIDIA card and have NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL installed.

    Some additional details for maximizing the graphics card are in this video: Cansel | Can-Learn Shortcut: TBC - Maximizing Graphics Performance

    For those with AMD graphics cards, TBC can be added to your games. Change the setting to performance and there will be a marked improvement. Certain areas that are not in the center will appear blurry, but these areas will come into focus when using that area.

    Having a similar experience. 

    NVIDIA Control Center is already using "High Performance NVIDIA Processor" as suggested in this thread. 

    Jumping into this thread incase another solution pops up.

    Turn all lines to solid and turn off text. Huge cad files will fly.

    Change text to stroke, not true type speeds it up with text showing

    I ended up having to disabled the built-in Intel Video card in the Bios to really forced TBC to use my nVidia adapter. I found that just changing it in the nVidia control panel only worked with the laptop display. The external monitors, either Type C, HDMI or using a docking station only use the built-in video chipset if it is available.

    After disabling that adaptor in the BIOS forces all display ports to use the nVidia card
