Creo Drawing Load Time

[TMPENG]

Hello,

Is anyone else have trouble with prolonged drawing load times. Creo seems to run a little heavier on my system with respect to modeling, but it is still acceptable. However, when I load an assembly drawing with as few as 30 parts, the whole computer locks up for a good two minutes and then finally loads up. The load time is significantly longer than WF5. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Matt

What do you have for hardware?

Honestly, its a Dell Latitude D830 with 4G of ram. It has a terrible video card. It's perplexing that it has worked so well so long. What's equally perplexing is how well WF5.0 ran, and how poorly Creo 1.0 runs. They do not seem that different, and the drawing mode doesn't seem any different at all graphically.

What OS do you have? According to this, Creo doesn't support Vista if that's what you're running.

Well, I heard PTC updated the graphics in Creo a tad from WF5, but not something that should cause what you're seeing. You could try the /3Gb switch since you are 32 bit - that might help.


Are the parts you are loading on a network drive? Creo might handle that differently and it could be slower.


Your HDD could be failing, run disk health check of some sort if your IT group isn't too restrictive.


In short, I really can't say why there would be that much of a performance drop between versions, but those are some of the ideas I had.

Well thanks for the help, but no luck. There performance is the same wether running from my hard drive or our network. I did try the /3Gb switch and no improvement.

There's another problem with drawings. A bug - when you save a copy of the assembly, the drawings associated with the components are created with the old parts in them not the new ones.


Config.pro option "rename_drawings_with_object" doesn't work.
