PDMWorks-number of files/project
(OP)
In the best practices it metions that you should not exceed "1000 or 2000" items per project or it will affect performance. Has anyone exceeded this limit and seen a difference. If you break the project into sub-projects will this make it better or no difference? For example: you have project "A" with no items but two sub-projects "A1" and "A2". "A1" has 1000 items and "A2" has 1000 items. Does this mean that project "A" has 2000 items resulting in slow performance? Can a PDMWorks pro explain how the number of items affects performance?
Thanks!

PDM/Works Getting Slow?
Is your PDM working directory filling up with drawings, models and assemblies? The more drawings, models and assemblies you have in your working directory the slower PDM/Works becomes. I have tested this by having 1,873 files in my working directory. A file that should open from the PDM within 2 seconds was taking as long as 7 minutes. Are your projects getting mixed up with other projects? If you never delete your working directory, opening files from PDM will get slower and slower. I would suggest deleting your working directory every time you change projects.
