See chat below for more details. Effectively, if you run the mapping tool in a map document that has other layers enabled in it, it will be continuously attempting to redraw the map. Solution seems to be to turn off all layers (preserving initial state) at the start of drawing, and then turn them back on after it's done.

my map from editing.mxd still hasn't cached the first layer
it's just totally stalled

should I try the mxd doctor on the editing.mxd?
Nick Santos
3:18 PM
you could, but I think it's about having any layers in there at all
Andy Bell
3:18 PM
or is it one of the layers?

I think it's trying to constantly rerender the map
I'm going to test this theory now
Nick Santos

yeah, so if you hit F9, to pause map rendering
it just speeds on through like nothing
and I think I can get the same result if I can push it to the background
but it means it needs to run in 32 or 64 bit python
which means a few things...
(it means more work with the installer - awful)

bummer. At least it is generally working right now. Is there anything else you want me to test/run?
Nick Santos
3:23 PM
not in particular
I think if you keep using it day to day
that'd be good
since it'll keep you on the most current version
we can merge that across to QC_2013 if you like
so you can keep operating in a separate branch

sounds good

hmmm, so what's interesting is that using background processing didn't help
but turning off all layers did
so I might have it toggle all layers when it starts mapping
ugly, but works
