Join taking too long? Here are a couple of tips to increase performance:
1. Uncheck the Layer(s) you are trying to Join in Display Manager before Creating the Join. This will prevent AutoCAD from REGENing your geometry while the Join is running.
2. If one of your data sources is an Access DB (as is often the case), be sure to Join to an indexed field. Simply open the table in Design View in Access, and change the Indexed value for the column you wish to Join to Yes, as shown in the screenshot.
[Thanks to Warren at CAD-1 for the inspiration, and to Orest at Autodesk for the Access tip.]
Happy Joining!
