Assembly Rebuild Times
Assembly Rebuild Times
(OP)
Is there anyway to determine which how long the parts take to rebuild directly from within the assembly? We are starting to work with large assemblies of 3000+ components and would like to know where in our assemblies to 'cut the fat' from instead of opening each component and running feature statistics. We are currently running SW 2008 SP2.0.

That being said, it would be possible to iterate through all currently open documents, force a rebuild, and report the rebuild times per document (including parts and subassemblies). You would not have to open each document in its own window, just the top level assembly (non-lightweight) you're interested in. When you open an assembly in non-lightweight mode, all referenced parts are opened automatically in the background.
This macro would take some time to run, but it would tell you which of your parts/subassemblies were taking longest to rebuild. You could then narrow the field of which files to manually run feature statistics on.
