I have a large shrinkwrap model (a 4 cylinder diesel engine) that is giving me hell. Pulling the model up as a part or pulling it into an assembly is not a big deal, but when I make views of it in a drawing Pro/E becomes agonizingly slow. In most cases it takes 30 minutes or more to render one view of the engine and since their are several views of the engine in the drawing, updating the drawing literally becomes an all day task.
I really have no control over the level of detail in the shrinkwrap model because our engine vendor will not give us solid models of the engine. Also, the number of surfaces and hidden lines in the engine views is so great that we are forced to use Hidden Line Removal of Quilts to make the drawing readable.
If anyone knows of a trick to make Pro/E render this any faster or a way to freeze the drawing views so that they won't update I would really like to hear from you. I'm about ready to pull my hair out at this point!
