All was going pretty well with 2010 SP 2 until recently. I am doing a sizable weldment. Assembly file is about 11 MB which is not huge by my standards. When I go to edit a weldment part the software goes extremely slow. It takes about 3-5 minutes for each new keys stroke when editing a weldment feature.
Anyone else having the same problem.
Should have mentioned. I sent this through to the VAR and it is a confirmed bug and there is a SPR on the bug. For any decent size weldment consisting of a few hundred bodies it makes modelling painfully slow. I'm avoiding using 2010 until it gets fixed. I was doing a bit on a small job I did in 2010 today. The work around is to delete the cutlist folders and don't update until the part is completed. The problem apparently is that the cut list is updated after each edit.
General procedure to avoid such problems - do not use new updates until they hit service pack 3 or 4. Actually 5 looks even better.
Same problems here. I'm working with a weldment with +230 bodies, filesize approx 10Mb. To activate "edit sketch" takes about 1min30sec.
I will try the workaround, these problems didn't occur in SW2009 as i can remember...
Thanks for the workaround, looking forward to the servicepack(s)
