SolidWorks slow while editing in assembly mode

SolidWorks slow while editing in assembly mode

SolidWorks slow while editing in assembly mode

(OP)
We are running SW2004 Sp4.2 on Win2000 SP4.  We have had SP4.2 installed for about 2 weeks with no problems.  For some reason over the last couple of days our system becomes painfully slow when editing parts in context of an assembly.  This is NOT a large complex assembly and this is NOT normal operation of our system.  Anyone else seeing this??

RE: SolidWorks slow while editing in assembly mode

Yes, I also have seen it last couple of days. I am editing one right now .. restroom/coffee break while waiting.

RE: SolidWorks slow while editing in assembly mode

In-contexted assembly will be slower then an assembly just like it without incontexted parts in it. You have added complexity by in-contexing those parts.

Have you cleaned out your TEMP's?
Run a repair of SW to ensure everything is cleaned and installed corectly? I run reapir about every 2-3 weeks to ensure everything is good.

See FAQ for Cleaning out your TEMP's
