Hello 

When you have shaded views on the drawing format and switch to (remove hidden lines) there is a big slowdown even for small assemblies.
Is it possible to improve this behavior and speed it up?
I noticed that it only uses the processor (1-2 Cores) in performing this step

Best Regards

Hi Roberto

Please can you share any file where you have noticed this behavior, I will try it at my end to see if I am able to reproduce it.

Please can try reducing the Rendering quality and turn off Anti-aliasing. What is the performance like if you set the Renderer to WARP.

Regards.

Hello Devendra Badgujar

I can send you the file privately, it will arrive shortly.
The problem is the same with both anti-aliasing enabled and disabled , the problem occurs with both Open GL, direct and Warp

I will check and get back to you.

Hi Roberto

It seems there are physical threads on the assembly parts, it can slow down SpaceClaim. Removing those threads and replacing them with cosmetic threads can help improve the performance. For external threads, you can use the Threads tool found in the Detail tab. For internal threads, you can use the Standard hole tool in the Tools tab (with the Tapped and Cosmetic options checked).

For your assemblies, you should avoid display styles such as Wireframe or Hidden Line, as these will add a lot more edges and lines that need to be rendered and adjusted any time the model is moved.

The main thing we recommend in this type of situation is to make sure the drivers for the graphics card are up to date. Make sure to go directly to the card manufacturer's website to check for the latest version.

Aside from that, the card itself may have some settings that you can adjust.  For an NVIDIA card, there is the NVIDIA Control Panel.  
You can access that by right clicking on the main desktop background.  Make sure the default setting is to use the high performance graphics processor.

Regards.
