Though scripting should be avoided, it is often common that scripting would become necessary to meet our requirements. So if scripted, it should be done the most efficient way. There are several optimization techniques. Below are some and I will post more in the future.
Tip 1:
Avoid repeated calling of a function if the results returned are the same. Instead cache the value in a variable. Especially avoid repeated calling of the API function like TheApplication().ActiveViewName() as shown below.
Tip2:
Delay Object Instantiation. If the object being used is under a conditional expression then wait till the conditional statement actually evaluates true. This reduces the cost and burden on the server. See the code below.
Make sure you leave some comments.
There are more Tips to come. So stay tuned.
