---|---|
Material Designer behavior during update |
Controls the visibility of Material Designer during a design point update.
|
Keep Material Designer running for optimized design point updates |
When selected, directs Material Designer to stay open (in batch or interactively, based on the setting of Material Designer behavior during update) and use the same session during a design point update. Allows for quicker processing time as Material Designer is not restarted after each design point. |
Periodically restart Material Designer |
When selected, directs Material Designer to restart automatically after the specified number of design points (as specified by the setting Number of design points to update before restarting Material Designer). |
Number of design points to update before restarting the Material Designer |
Sets the number of design points that are updated before Material Designer is restarted. The default is 0, which executes as if this preference were disabled. Each restart resets Material Designer and slightly lengthens processing time, but restarts can improve overall system performance (memory and CPU) when the time needed for the update of each design point is long. In such cases, specify a low number of design points (1 or more) before each restart. In cases where the time needed for the update of each design point is short, you can reduce processing time by increasing the number of design points before each restart, or you can prevent restarts by disabling this preference altogether. |
