I would be surprised if some one even responded this old thread. From the explanation from Rory is very nice. But, I want to know if there is any improvement on this since 2005?
The "Compact model History" check box was never checked from the beginning. I have my model so large now it takes for ever to edit any feature.
Should it make it any better if I check this box now? I dont see much difference...
If I edit any feature be it begining of the model tree or at the end of the tree...on the status bar (lower left corner UI) i see "executing update full part"
Why should the inventor update full part. How can I have inventor concentrate on the currently edited feature.
I wish I could send the casting model but I cant. Its utilising all kinds of stuff Surface modeling, multi bodies, delete faces, drafts patterns etc? Its such a long tree that its takes hell a lot time if AI needs to rebuild whole model for each feature edit.
