coming up to 2014 i've noticed something that i have never noticed before. i do not know if this is a new feature of 2014, or if it's related to the hardware i am using (which is objectively the fastest most powerful system i've ever used solidworks with before). i am also working on one of the most complex assembly models that i have ever worked on, so this may also be a factor.

i am seeing this issue while in drawings where if i zoom in/out of the drawing (using the mouse wheel, typically) the line edges of the drawing will blur as they zoom in. and it sits there with blurred lines for a good 3-5 seconds before rendering the lines in a resolution fit for my zoom

this makes zooming in and out incredibly time consuming. i am constantly waiting for lines to redraw.

this has been bugging me for a while but it is still an issue and it is still affecting my productivity. i have never experienced anything like this before. wondering if this is related to "new for 2014", or if it's hardware related, or if maybe this is what i have to put up with while working on a model this big.

drawing 1: before zooming in

drawing 2: after zooming in, waiting with the hourglass, unable to zoom or pan

drawing 3: after waiting a few seconds

the worst part about this is that while it's rendering those finer lines, it's still reading your mouse inputs. so i'm mouse wheel scrolling and panning but it isn't registering that. then it redraws the lines, THEN it zooms and pans based off my previous inputs, then i'm waiting for it to redraw lines again.
