Does doing section view using PMI cause assemblies to load slow in NX6

Does doing section view using PMI cause assemblies to load slow in NX6

Does doing section view using PMI cause assemblies to load slow in NX6

(OP)
NX6.0.5

If I create section view using the PMI tools , this creates a user view in Model View segment in Part Navigator.. Does this make assemblies load slow? currently Iam seeing that if there is an assembly without the section view using PMI , this loads faster than when I introduce a section view via PMI in that assembly..

Iam in doubt..

Well, the 'section view' does increase the amount of data found in the Assembly file, but exactly how much longer do you think it takes to load the assembly file with the section view.

I think it increases the loading time by at least 30% depending on how many section views are present. The more section views, increase in loading time.

Is this true?

RE: Does doing section view using PMI cause assemblies to load slow in NX6

As I said, there's more data included in the Assembly file (check the size of the Assembly file itself). Also, I suspect that the section(s) is updating when the Assembly is loaded.
