How to use multi-core in Inventor 2013?

[hajimeml]

Hi, I have a multi-core machine. How can I tell Inventor to use as many cores as possible?

For the most part it is only single core compatible. However if you have a number of different views on a page and an update is called it will use a number of different threads to accomplish it.
If there is an option to select the number available I would try application options.

Thanks. Where can I find the application options?

[dano0310]

In the ribbon under either manage or tools.

Thanks. Does not seem to have an option on choosing the number of cores.

Try creating a drawing of something complex and puti8 or 10 views on the page. Hit update and watch task manager.

There is no setting. Inventor will use as many cores as is possible (usually only one) automatically.
