Slow Saves/Large File/Huge PDF files
Slow Saves/Large File/Huge PDF files
(OP)
I have a weldment with 55 parts. It Is comprised of approx. 95% imported IGES part files from old Mechanical Desktop models. The assembly file is 58mb, and saves are long and can't functionally create PDF or plot the file.
Suggestions?

File -> Export -> Heal Geometry...
...which will create copies of the original files but with all topological 'imperfections' removed. This should help reduce the size of the part files and give you a cleaner set of files.

Unfortunately, saves are taking 3 or 4 minutes on the weldment and PDF creation yields "Very Large Plot File Detected! Use PDF Export Program Instead" after long wait. PDF Export created a 23 mb file.
Any additional suggestions?

Can you import using STEP instead ?
The geometry quality is far better. ( smaller files, quicker interaction.)
John mentioned the Heal Geometry, have you run that on all files ?
