hi
is there a way to decrease time for cloning objects. right now i m using maxOps.CloneNodes in a for loop which is very slow.
start = timeStamp()
with redraw off
(
k = (Rectangle length:50 width:50)
offs=60
for st=2 to 10860 do
(
maxOps.CloneNodes k cloneType:#instance newNodes:&new
new[1].pos.x+=offs
offs+=60
)
)
end = timeStamp()
format "Processing took % seconds\n" ((end - start) / 1000.0)
Processing took 31.979 seconds
if i do the same thing with SHIFT KEY cloning it finishes in couple of seconds.
If anyone know any other method for faster cloning ?
thnkx

~2.5 sec on my laptop
with redraw off
(
disableRefMsgs()
k = Rectangle length:50 width:50
offset = [ 60, 0, 0 ]
count = 10000
for i = 1 to count do instance k pos:(offset * i)
enableRefMsgs()
)

if maxOps.CloneNodes is necessary , try reduce times of Clone , such as
start = timeStamp()
with redraw off
(
k = (Rectangle length:50 width:50)
sel=#(k)
offs=60
ct=10860
while sel.count < ct do
(
if sel.count > ct/2 then
(
tsel=#()
for i = 1 to (ct - sel.count) do
tsel[i]=sel[i]
maxOps.CloneNodes tsel cloneType:#instance newNodes:&new offset:[60*sel.count,0,0]
)else
maxOps.CloneNodes sel cloneType:#instance newNodes:&new offset:[60*sel.count,0,0]
sel += new
)
)
end = timeStamp()
format "Processing took % seconds\n" ((end - start) / 1000.0)Jan 10, 2020 7:38 pm
Thank you guys for replying, this is way faster as i needed to clone objects upto 100000 range. maxOps solution was helpful for me because i needed to name and also move returned nodes. Thanks.
