Peformance Problem
Peformance Problem
(OP)
I have had a reply from Our SW support. I am told SW2003 addresses features in a totally different way than 2001+.
There are obvious benefits from this, like being able to have disjointed bodies in one part.
I am also informed the way that SW2003 looks back up the feature tree and assesses every feature, is a intentional FEATURE!!!.
I have found this cause massive problems when parts are created with external references. Massive slow down.
Seems its the Parasolid route for me.
Will keep everyone informed about any further response from SW.

For whatever that is worth.

RE: Peformance Problem
If the problem is the External References, please note that you can Lock (i.e. Freeze) the External References and unlock them when you need to update the model.
This way you are in control.

RE: Peformance Problem
Not solved the problem though. still slower than 2001+.
Thanks for surgestion to switch off external references, but we need those to keep all the parts in sync.
Still try to solve it.

RE: Peformance Problem
I think we all need to remember that the additional or revised logical steps required in software as complex as this in order to provide enhancements overall, often seem to be a two edged sword for some users. Scott hit the nail on the head. Things may not appear to be ideal or necessary changes or even an improvement to some of us. However, the deeper you look into the logic of the program requirements the more you realise that they are giving us better control, accuracy and fidelity. The software makes it all so easy and realworld-like today that we forget how difficult it is to create, maintain and enhance this virtual simulation we are using.
