Speeding up Tweeks?

Speeding up Tweeks?

Speeding up Tweeks?

(OP)
Anyone have a tip on how to speed up the first tweek of a presentation?  I have an assembly with roughly 12000 parts and it took 4 1/2hrs to tweek the first part (I turned the visibility off of all parts and assemblies that I could). I did the next 12 tweeks in about an hour after.

This appears to be a very common thing here.  I'm gonna have to start bringing in a novel or something!

Thanks,
Jeff

RE: Speeding up Tweeks?

Jeff,

Welcome to the club.  Our files are that large too.  We've found that the first tweek is the most important.  First of all, when you open a new presentation file save it to it's folder without anything in it and then save it again once you bring in a design view from a .iam file.  Your first tweek should be a very simple one such as moving a single nut a few inches. After this, the next tweeks should be quicker.  The only good thing about long tweeks is the ability to catch up on some sleep.
