Problem with Inventor 2014 on win10

Anonymous — Wed, 03 Apr 2019 11:11:38 GMT

Hello,

at the beginning a I have to apologize for my bad english, i hope that you understand me. I have a problem with inventor 2014 bulid 246 sp2 update 8. I use this program on (call this computer as Machine1) windows 10 pro, with:

i7 7700 4.2GHz,

mainboard: MSI B250M PRO-VH (MS-7A74),

RAM: 32GB (2x16, DDR4 2400 MHz),

Graphics card: Radeon 580 RX

and SSD drive.

In inventor bench i got a score about 7,97. On older configuration (this same system and processor, RAM 16GB crossair venegance 3000MHz, Graphics nVidia GeForce 1050 Ti 4GB, ssd drive) we got a score about 10.

During the tests on Machine1 we look on task manager: processor, and RAM is using only in 30-40%, drive is 10-15% use.

Is any possibility to make this program faster? Large projects are oppening very slow, both in inventor and autocad.

In autocad we have few more problems with using program (object properties and printing not working), but they are issue for another topic or PW.

Best regard

Hi,

Not surprised. Windows 10 is not supported or has been tested with Inventor 2014.

But, I suppose you could try this.

Welcome to the Autodesk User's Community..

Adding to @Cadmanto reply.

Performance a lot of times has to deal with your models and how you model things and your Inventor settings. But I guess I have to ask why risk your business on running an outdated/unsupported Inventor version on a new operating system that is not even support. What is your back up plan when the next Windows 10 update comes a long and makes this version of Inventor in operable? Past history has already done that.. Granted the Inventor team had a fix when that happened but at some point that's no longer going to be the case.

Anyhow you need to share or tell us more about what type of models you're created...

Thanks for reply

I tried Cadmanto links, when I install autocad - a got an errors and I had install Service packs (not all, but only few). For example I install update 3, 5 and 8, should I install they one by one?

Mark, yes. It's quite risky, and eventually I'll consider back to windows 7 or 8. But there is a question - is that OS will use full power of my machine?

I don't know a lot about models - I know that they are big projects (on recomended configuration they are oppening half hour sometimes), generally it's a production lines manufacturer (smaller or greater).
