I have a major assembly with the following details:

1,642 total components
1,406 parts
280 unique parts
236 sub assemblies

When I create a BOM for this major assy, its very slow to edit the BOM. I know I can export it to Excel, but then it wouldnt be linked anymore.

Any suggestions?

What are you trying to edit on the BOM?

We have a similar problem in an assembly of similar size (2257 components, 2109 parts, 370 unique parts) and BOM editing is extremely slow on 2009 SP01 X64 edition. We were hoping to take advantage of the new BOM restructuring tools but it's not possible when each mouse operation takes upwards of five to ten seconds.

I'm wondering if a possible solution would be to filter the BOM by metadata/custom properties (for example, include only fabricated steel parts), but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that in the BOM generation interface. Has anyone done anything like this?
