    I so have a 3D Connexion devive which is configured for Inventor, I didn't know what this would affect Inventor though.


    Ask Sean Dotson.

     

    Did you try Calibrate?
    Did you try unpluging the 3D Connexion device?

     

    Try this - try dragging the sidebar of the feature browser to make it wider.

    Is it really slow to resize?

    I have clicked the 'calibrate' button on the 3D Connexion control panel but not difference in Inventor.

     

    I haven't unplugged the device but why would I need to do that ? Do you mean unplug then reconnect to see if it sorts out the problem ?

    I mean unplug and leave it unplugged to see if it makes a difference.

    If is doesn't - you have eliminated one possible cause.

    Anthony,

    Did you figure out your problem? We just upgraded to 2012 and are having the same problem.

    We installed SP1, I loaded the lastest video driver.

    Inventor 2012 is still grinding away even trying to perform basic functions such as bolted connection, assemble etc. not sure why this is but it's becming a real drag, I sincerely hope that Autodesk sort out all these issues in the next release, they should be making sure they have a properly functioning version before releasing it.

    Does anything stand out in the Processes when you have the Task-Manager opened. Possibly multi instances of Inventor or something else that's using a lot of resources?
