hi everybody
to open my assambly it takes 1,5min but to switch into Studio i´ll wait 30min and longer - so my boss ask what can i do optimize the performence . will a better hardware bring a faster change to Studio - if yes what would you advise ? is the graphiccard the problem? the RAM? the CPU ??
it contains 1000 part and video length is 30 seconds 1 camera with 10 different position´s
thanks for reading this and i hope there is any helper there
nice greetings from Austria

Laptops, generally don't have the performance of a desktop. Slower components to increase battery life.
You should be able to get an idea of your machines performance from: Start>Control Panel>Performance and Information Tools. This will give you a rating of the various components in your machine along with an overal rating.
Included is one from my desk-top machine
Hi Blair
We can only take hp workstation Z420 so my question is:
the standard is an E5-2603 xeon CPU bad or good ?
Quadro 4000 good ?
8GB Ram enough ?
harddisk is a 256GB SSD
what would you propose to change ?
hi blair here are the correct infos of my current system and the possible configuration of a new workstation
Something else is hanging this up, your system performance looks great.
Do you have Administrative prilvedges on your machine or are you just set up as a Standard User?
Sorry i´ve no Administrative prilvedges - why ist this important ?
There are "Registry" items that get written and at least Power User is required. You should be able to have your IT department give your "Administrative" at the local machine level. We do it all the time here. Have your IT people log-in on your machine with Admin privileges and try it.
Somewhere in the Autodesk Inventor requirements it's listed at least Power User and preferable Admin
Maybe a 30 seconds delay switching enviroments.
Perhaps modeling practices are to blame? Do you use lots of adaptivity, is everything fully constrained (assemblies and sketches), are there any errors shown in the design doctor, etc.? Tell us more about the model, how did you build it?
Edit: Don't discount Blair's suggestion, Power User is a requirement. I have full Admin on my machine, and upper management here is paranoid.
Post a screen capture of the model is possible. It would give us a better idea of what you are up against.
Hi everybody
to change me into Admin doesn´t bring me faster into Studio
my screenshot has been censored by my department so you can´t see really very much
there are no adaptivities, it´s everything fully constrained, no red cross in the design doctor
the hole building is depending on 1 masterpart - the upper 14 level are iassembly - the other part are very easy single part without complex geometric only the backside is a trapezoidal sheet
according my IT department i can´t get Admin permanently
currently i´ll wait 50min to switch into studio
next i will derive pretty much i can and modify the assembly structure
Possibly try a different file and see if the problem is the same or just this model. Even try the sample autodesk files.
let's think about the problem and the variables at play...
pc:
is it working at its potential? updated Windows and all drivers (not just graphics, but chipset, mouse, spaceball, soundcard, etc. EVERYTHING).
Inventor:
is it all up to date?
was it installed in the correct way? (with an admin account, UAC off, anti-virus off) could be issues with a corrupted installation?
other sotware:
kill off anything else running on the pc, just in case there's some problems. no internet, no email, no music, etc.
anti-virus:
Do you have active "on demand" anti virus running? With all the interlinked files in an Inventor assembly it can so it down a lot by having all files scanned evertime they're loaded/accessed. So remove all Inventor files from the active scanner by adding ipt, iam, idw, etc. to the anti-virus exclusion list. Could also try disabling the entire Anti Virus to see if it makes a difference at all?
Inventor's files:
are they all on the network or running local? if they're networked then how's the network performance? Could try a Pack & Go to a local directory, unplug the network cable and see if it's any better there - thus determines if it's a network issue.
Design Data, materials and textures - are these networked or local. As above - try them locally?
All your parts migrated, purged, and clean, etc? standards all migrated?
Do you have the studio delay with all files? a single ipt still cause this problem or a new iam? ie this problem could be either part of a global problem and you'll have the delay with any inventor file no matter the complexity, or it could be 1 component in the assembly causing issues, or it's a slight delay with each file and you're being hit by a cumulation of all slight delays because it's a large assembly?
just some ideas to throw out there...

hi everybody
after checking driver and anti-virus i start to modify my assembly
first all parts they wouldn´t change in the animation i made a derived part - no change
i delete part by part from the assembly but the swichting into studio became not faster
i think the problem are the fade-out and fade-in
there more then 150 part i´d fade-out and fade-in time by time
maybe the assembly is too big for inventor studio
Hi everybody
after i delete nearly all fades, the switch into studio takes only 10-15min
i pushed all part, those who can´t see at start, out of the camera area.
Thanks for your help
