How Does Alibre Handle Large Assemblies...

(OP)
Hello,

How well does it handle assemblies with 1000+ parts?  The biggest issue I have with mid-range modelers is dealing with large assemblies and drawing files of those assemblies.

Thanks,

RE: How Does Alibre Handle Large Assemblies...

1000+ parts is starting to peak Alibre's performance.  It'll do it, but at a performance hit.  Using the repository over Windows file system will boost performance a bit, unless you're trying to browse through the repository and all the files are in the one location.  The assembly environment will still benefit, but your file management will slow down.
