Inventor Pro 2015 Slow Graphics

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I just installed IV2015 and have really slow graphics. This is a large imported step file from our customer. Things I've tried, turned off textures, turned frame rate up to 20Hz, disabled antivirus, and changed display quality (medium seems better than rough). IV2014 would hide components to allow me to rotate the model but this doesn't do it.

System:

Dual E5-2650

Nvidia Quadro K4000 Driver 332.21

64 GB Ram

Win 7 64bit

Everything was fine in IV2014, now its supper choppy and unusable. Thanks for the help!

Material libraries need to be shared though.

Yes they do, so use Vault and gain all the other goodies that comes with as well. 😉

Or until this problem is fixed you can manually copy them between the network and local drive whenever a change is made to the library.

Or you find it's your AV being a PITA, and excluding it's over bearing self from your Inventor data fixes the issue.

But it seems you have the IBL issue, rather than the drawing view placement issue? 

[Anonymous]

Yes IBL is the main issue for me. I think those backgrounds are local anyway.

We are closer than ever to using Vault 😉 but I didn't think that made local copies of material libraries. Am I wrong?

Keeping a local copy and updating it manually is just asking for more trouble. Managing those libraries is confusing enough as it is. I notice a delay opening the libraries from the network compared to having it locally but to us it's worth it.

I know what a PITA is but you lost me with AV BTW 🙂

At least what I have learned today is that if you reply here by email, delete your signature before you press send.....

You can store whatever files you want inside Vault. So you put your templates and design data folders inside Vault as well, and more your project to them... e.g:

C:\Vault Working Folder\Design data

C:\Vault Working Folder\Templates

C:\Vault Working Folder\Project File Workspace

I believe this is a windows user profile problem. Here’s what I’ve found.

Two different users using the same computer, same vault log in, same assembly from Vault open in Inventor before creating drawing.

My personal profile, after 8 minutes I only see the placement view, mouse is not responsive, I killed Inventor. (top image)

Created a new test user on domain and logged into computer. Created two views in 20 seconds using identical  steps. (bottom image)

Can someone else verify this?

Have you tried using this tool on the problematic user profile? http://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor-products/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticl...

Hi Scott;

When I picked link in our post i got a bad url, but in the email from the dicussion group the link worked.

I down loaded and ran the reset utility. Problem still exists.

A couple times a year we have to rebuild a user profile because it self destructs.  I think it's your turn especially since another user works fine on the same pc.

I can confirme that we have same problem here, placing views takes forever - not acceptable! Yes we keep our design data on server ( we didnt have this problem in previous inventor relesed 2012 2013 2014). I did try to reset my user data wit autodesk tool no luck same problem exist.

Any other solution for the problem other than moving desing data to local drive?

[johan_brostrom]

Try to turn off "Enable backgrund updates" in "Application Options" -> "Drawing" -> "Capacity/Performance".

Hello

I have installed inventor 2015 and continuously crashes and runs really slow as well. This is a major problem as a lot of time is lostI have attached the DxDia.txt to assist.

Thank you

[bob_holland]

doninic.tunnell,

Please place your design data and material and appearance files locally and test your performance.

Thank you.

[dominic.tunnell]

Hello

I have had an extra hard drive installed onto my computer. We have tried developing assemblies locally, on the network and locally with the network disconnected. I have turned off all virus protection software. Reinstalled all graphic drivers. The list can go on.

Unfortunately this has had no effect.

Thank you

[dominic.tunnell]

Hello

The design data and material specs are already installed locally.

Thank you

[bob_holland]

dominic.runnell,

Where is your Design Data?

What is your Design Data Setting in Applications Options?

What is your Design Data Setting in your IPJ?

Thank you.

[VinceBalge]

With the help of my Autodesk Resellar my problem is basically fixed.

Issue number one: Inventor 2015 want's the Design Data in a folder called "Design Data". In previous versions of Inventor I had my migrated design data in a folder named after the current release, i.e. "Design Data 2014". Inventor 2015 doesn't seem to work properly unless it's called "Design Data"

Issue number two: Changing and editing the project inside Inventor causes problems. If I start out with the "Default" IPJ file performance when creating drawing views is good, but when i switch to our custom IPJ (from inside Inventor) drawing view creation is very slow. I then close Inventor and use the standalone Inventor Project Editor to set the current project file to our custom IPJ. After opening Inventor with the custom IPJ, drawing view creation is good. if a now switch to the "Default" IPJ (from inside Inventor) drawing view preformance is very slow.

Hi Vince

Thanks for the advice. The design data folder has been installed by default as "design data". I do use custom ipj as we do not have vault installed and I have been given a budget to install it across the network. What type of standalone inventor project editor do you use.

Hi Vince,

What were the symptoms to support your first comment ? I'm not aware of the need to have Design Data only called exactly that, in 2015. If you want to call it somethign else then you'd need to ensure that the setting on Tolls, Applicaiton Options, File tab is set as well as in any custom project (Folder Options), you may be using. The App Option takes effect, until you override it with the project setting.

For your second set of tests, I suspect that something (inventor.adsklib ?) was still being cached from one of the locations & changing projects using the editor & then in Inventor didn't clear that cache properly. A good rule of thumb is to only ever make any project setting changes, (including changing the active project), when nothing is open in Inventor.

The performance issue I am aware of is being worked on for 2015 SP1 Update1 - that's where drawing views take longer than usual to compute if your Inventor.adkslib file (in ..\Design Data\Materials by deafult) is on a network location as opposed to being local.

Thanks

Chris
