iFactories - Multi threaded member generation

[AMiltenburg]

Our company produces railway safety products which have a very long life cycle and product availability to our customers. Lots of these products have variants, so we make extensive use of iFactories down from parts all along top level assemblies. This increases productivity and decreases the chance of errors when making changes.

We notice Inventor slows down dramatically when iAssemblies grow larger. Especially when generating iFactory members. Each member is generated one by one, which can be quite time consuming. I have monitored thread usage of my 6 core XEON workstation using the Windows Task Manager and I was amazed about the low CPU activity!

Generation of iFactory members is an ideal candidate for splitting up in multiple threads, since the members are completely independant of each other. Please consider this as a product enhancement.

@AMiltenburg, we have done much performance improvement on Inventor large assembly in 2018 & 2019. Could you have a try for feedback?
