Starting with SOLIDWORKS 2016 the software uses multicore CPU technology to reduce the time it takes to regenerate the graphics display of large assemblies.
Instead of processing components individually, all of the bodies of every component that need to be retessellated are gathered together, allowing parallel tessellation of longer lists of bodies.
In order for that to happen, all components of the assembly have to have the same image quality setting.
2016 What's New in SOLIDWORKS - Parallel Tessellation When Regenerating Assembly Graphics
I am wondering if one of you programming gurus would consider writing a macro that would open all files from a given folder, change the image quality to the same number and save the files.
Ideally the user should be prompt to:
1. Select the folder
2. Have an option for including sub-folders or not
3. Input an integer (1-100) to define the image quality
Many thanks to the person who will publish such a macro that could run in SW 2016.
Hi Alin,
I have added this macro to #TASK. Please take a look at this video of how it works: http://cloud.ic3d.com.au.s3.amazonaws.com/share/ChangeImageQuality.mp4 . I can modify the macro if needed.
At the moment #TASK can process selected folders (including all sub folders) and all files. It doesn't have an option to process top level files only but this can be added as we are constantly improving #TASK.
Thanks,
Artem
