I just found something terribly exciting!!
It’s very exasperating to work on a complicated glyph because every time you make a change FC goes back and recalcs all point positions. The more points to assess, the longer it takes between changes.
If a glyph is too complex an error message is shown on the validate report “glyph too complex”, but the error coordinates are still shown.
Tonight I was working on a glyph with over 4,000 points not expecting to do too much correcting when I suddenly found I could make a change and FC wouldn’t do the recalculation. I could work the Validation report by dbl clicking on the coordinates and it would zoom into the proper location, etc. I finished the whole thing is 15 minutes. Incredible.
It wasn’t until I asked for a Refresh that it did it’s work. Of course, the red indicators aren’t on, but after awhile you can guess the type of correction to make.
So the question: is this No Refresh an action that I can turn on and off as needed? Is there a threashold at which this occurs? Why isn’t it talked about?
