Problem in drawing of great Assemblies

[jospasbel]

Hello,


I use Pro/Engineer Wildfire 4 M060 in Dell Precision T5400 with a Nvidia Quadro FX 1700. I work with drawing of great assemblies and when I do cross section viewsthe computer is very slow. Do anypeople have this problem?


Thank you very much.

I think quadro FX1700 is not enough.


Please check with PTC website about the hardware recommendations.

I think for your workstation, PTC recommends some other graphics card..

We use the Quadro FX3500 which is a high end card (yours is a mid range) and have the same issues with large assemblies. There are other things you can do that might help such as temporarily erasing the views you are not working on. This can be found under the View>Drawing Display>Drawing View Visibility if you want to try it.

Hello,


I hide drawing view, but it is not the solution. This problem with large assemblies is with Pro/Engineer or with Card Drive?


Thank you very much,

As written previously here [url]http://www.mcadcentral.com/proe/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37 634[/url]:

You have to put to NO the "quick erase of the hidden xsec lines" for
each view of your drawing (sorry but I have proE in french, but you can
see below this option)



Than it would go faster.
I hope this helps.

I realize its not a solutionbut you need to take at look at what you are doing. Your creating large assembliesusing mid-range hardware. I doubt you are going to find a setting that is going to solve the slowness issues. Being that you are working with a large assembly I imagine you have a lot of detail. Do you have a lot fasteners as well? In my opinion you may want to look at updating your hardware but even if you do you may not solve your problems but they may get better.
