Hi,

welcome @Anonymous!

>> simulation is 60 times slower

May I ask which product are you referring to?

This here is the AutoCAD forum but within that product a "simulation" is not a function OOTB.

HI @cheidenfelder,

Can you describe your computer, OS and the specific application and version to which you are referring? There is no built-in simulation in core AutoCAD so I need a bit more detail please.

This is in powermill. I realized I posted this in AutoCAD forum, so I posted my question under Powermill

Hi @cheidenfelder,

Thank you for contacting Autodesk Community Forum.

Please disable PowerMill Robot plugin from -

File-->Options-->Manage Installed Plug ins

Can you please confirm the exact version of the PowerMill 2018 that currently you are using at your end? IS this project specific instance? Can you please record a small video and supply us a sample PM project so that we test it our end?

Please verify and confirm.

I have just installed and done some testing in the latest version, 2018.1.0.1212141. There seems to be a speed up, you will need to as @jitendra.chaudhari mentioned disable the Robot Plug-in. But you should see a significant speed increase.

It was just released today, you should be able to see it in your Autodesk Desktop App or in your Autodesk Account.

I just down loaded and tested the new version. This makes a huge improvement, thanks.
