- Performance Evaluation for Assemblies
Performance Evaluation analyzes the performance of assemblies and suggests actions to improve performance.
- Opening Large Assemblies
Before opening a large assembly, you can set an option to automatically dismiss common dialog boxes. Also, you can improve assembly performance by opening a simplified representation of the assembly.
- Simplifying Large Assemblies
Large assemblies can consist of hundreds of components.
- Replacing Subassemblies with Multibody Parts
You can simplify a large assembly by replacing its subassemblies with multibody parts.
- Image Quality and Graphics Triangles
The number of graphics triangles that are required to display a component increases as the image quality increases. Performance can slow down as the number of triangles increases.
- Checking Component Image Quality
In Assembly Visualization, you can check for components whose image quality might be slowing down graphics performance of very large assemblies.
- Disabling Automatic Mate Updates in Toolbox
You can temporarily disable the automatic update of mates between a Toolbox component and a non-Toolbox component by clearing Automatic Update for Toolbox Mates. By disabling the automatic update, you can improve performance by making it quicker to edit mates, add mates, and manipulate components.
- Large Assembly Settings
Large Assembly Settings is a collection of system settings that improves the performance of assemblies. You can turn on Large Assembly Settings at any time.
- SpeedPak
SpeedPak creates a simplified configuration of an assembly without losing references. If you work with very large and complex assemblies, using a SpeedPak configuration can significantly improve performance while working in the assembly and its drawing.
- Component Suppression States
Depending on the scope of the work you plan to do at any given time, you can specify an appropriate suppression state for the components. This can reduce the amount of data that is loaded and evaluated as you work. The assembly displays and rebuilds faster, and you make more efficient use of your system resources.
- Suspending Automatic Rebuilds
With Large Assembly Settings enabled, you can defer the full update of assemblies until you are ready to rebuild the assembly. By deferring the update, you can make many changes, then rebuild the assembly once.
