It is probably too big but I'd like to see is Progress bar when MOI is loading, If i double click to *.STP/*.IGS file it's assigned to MOI but when i open large files (70--100mb) i see nothign on screen for 40-50 seconds since MOI appears on screen only when it opens file. So only way to see is it even working is to open task manager and look at process memory usage and CPU usage while it's happening.

IMHO it should show GUI instantly and then progress bar for loading file so that user knows something is happening. I'ts not first time that i DoubleClicked file 2-3 times to later finout i have several MOI's in the task manager trying to open file :).

Thanks

Hi Lewis, that's something I definitely want to work on adding in. I've meant several times to start to work on a progress bar for large file loading but got side tracked every time so far...

Opening large STEP and IGES files is something you can do in MoI but things are not particularly optimized for that specifically as of yet.

The main focus for MoI right now is more about drawing simple things quickly and easily, so things like drawing tools have usually taken precedence for working on. But I do expect to work more on the large file handling aspect as well.
