Speed up .idw's by turning off visibility based on idw view
Is there a way/would it be smart to create a program that would:
1. Use a drawing view in an .idw.
2. Pulls it's orientation/style (Hidden Lines, etc)
3. Use this orientation in the drawing to create a view in the model
4. In this model view, hide all parts that are not in camera (if the view doesn't use hidden lines/has no cut-aways)
5. Set this new view (possibly a temporary view as to not make the model messy) as the design view for the view it was based upon?
Alternate: Use the drawing view and hide all parts that do not have visible lines in the specified drawing view.
Is there a way to do this using camera information?
It seems to make sense as I have heard that drawing will not load parts that are not visible, and thus will maybe save time in mroe complex assemblies/documents.
It seems weird how inventor always wants to access all of the information pertaining to a drawing, rather than just speeding the process up immensely by allowing a mode where drawings can just become static objects, such as "suppress view/model link".
Any thoughts would help, thanks!
