After installing V25 my large assembly files are VERY sluggish on my fastest desktop computer at the office. On my laptop it was also very sluggish but improved greatly after I made sure the program was using the graphics card, not the integrated graphics. Anyone else suffering from this?
Also, just like V24, this latest version still loses the some assembly constraints when I edit a file within an assembly file (both Edit Here and Edit in Separate Window).
I posted this awhile back, but thought I would repost again for anyone else suffering from this loss of constraints issue. This was not a problem in V23 and earlier.
If you edit a part within an assembly (assuming the assembly file is open), regardless of if you use Edit Here or Edit in Separate Window, and if you want to restore the constraints you might have lost after editing the part, then follow this procedure:
option1: close the assembly file and reopen. (slowest method)
option 2: follow the procedure below (which is what I do because it only takes a few seconds)
- Right click Edit Here on the part you JUST EDITED (the second you do this you will see your part snap back to its constrained position if you moved it after editing)
-Then, immediately back out of this operation by going to the design explorer, then right click on the part name you are editing, then select the top most menu item (Edit Part/Subassembly). This will return you to your assembly file and let you continue to work. Hit save if you want, no need to though.
Note: regeneration does not restore the constraints after editing a part within an assembly file, at least not for me. I have assembly files that always loose constraints after editing a part, and other assembly files that don't. It does seem to happen more with complex assemblies and ones with lots of imported step files (although I'm not editing those, just the parts I create). Again, this was never an issue prior to V24.
