Hello solid workers,

Ill get right to the point. I work with incredibly unoptimised parts and assemblies. This is a problem that I can't fix right now. When working with drawing views for said unoptimised assemblies, loading, saving, and working with views becomes slow. Saving the drawing for a 1300 part count assembly takes about 1 minute. This isnt a rediculous amount of time in my opinion. However, when i add a break view, it multiplies the save times by 5. When saving it displays a wireframe view of the model and it destroys performance. 

My pc specs are in my profile and im running on SW 2020 SP1.0

(Maybe this issue is fixed in another service pack. But knowing Dassault, I doubt it)

UPDATE:

I finally got around to updating SW to SP5. And turning off the detailing mode has fixed this particular issue. Break views still do slow down drawing and increase saving times (Only slightly). But its not multiplying the save times by almost 4, as it did before. Thanks for the tips!

Next step is for me and my collegues to get better at performance-friendly modeling. However, I'm still curious how solidworks stacks up against other modelling software in terms of LARGE assemblies. A recent hired engineer was nuts for Solid Edge. And he was exclaiming how he could work with a fully detailed production facility without too much slowdown. I'm not versed enough with different software to have an oppinion on the matter. But so far I havent found solidworks very intuitive in terms of speeding up large assemblies.
