Hello,
I'd like to see if we can help you speed this up a bit. Any chance you
could send us the data?
One initial thought is - are you working with the wires swept? We
recommend that while doing the design work you work with segments swept but
keep he wires as lines only. If you sweep the wires you can drive up the
number of cylindrical sweeps very quickly and that can slow things down.
Please feel free to contact me so I can learn more about how you've got
things set up.

However, whenever we try to open or edit anything relative with a wire
harness or even what would seem to be the most simplistic of tasks like
turning the visibility of a routed cable on and off, it takes forever. I
don't know what my computer is doing, but it can take my computer 10 min. to
an hour just to turn the visibility of a single cable on. The complexity of
the harness I'm working on is only moderate. This is NOT very productive!
I could have modeled the cables myself using 3D paths in regular Inventor in
a fraction of the time. So can someone please remind me why we spent all
this extra money to upgrade to Inventor Pro? Is anyone else having these
problems? Are there any recommendations to speed things up substantially?
