Just checked this box and it only took 4 seconds to generate the pdf.

Never thought to try the Microsoft version but it is in my list. I've just been using the Adobe PDF in my print optios.

This is a typical drawing

Is anyone else experiencing long times for creating PDF's of 2D drawings? I know it may not seem long but 1.5-2 minutes per can add up. Did any of the last few updates change anything that would require any computer upgrades via graphics card or memory? I can't find any settings in the system...

I in had this problem a few years ago. I believe you have to open the subassembly, then click file properties and there’s a button to check at the bottom that says treat as item assembly in BOM. Then when you put that subassembly into something else and make a drawing it doesn’t show as...

I currently have the same issue. Even my subassembly components are in my top level BOM but it won't let me toggle from Summary Form. What am I missing?

That definitely says it all. Thank you for the details.
