Fusion Stalling Out When Making Complex Drawings

I am trying to create some drawings of some pan channel bolted letters for a sculpture I am working on.  The centre text is created from a reasonably complicated SVG file.  It is a little clunky to work with within fusion, but manageable.  However, when I go to turn it into a drawing it just permanently locks up.  The CPU stops processing and the RAM locks up and doesn't change.  How do I fix this?

Thanks Simon

Do you really need modeled threads for the Drawing?

There is good reason for the option of cosmetic threads.

 

OK, digging deeper I found this sketch.

That will be a killer for sure...

I don't know if this would help, but you might try Exporting out the file to STEP and then open that file (without the modeled threads).  Of course that doesn't help if you need edit model.

Let us know if it works.

 

Also - I would do each letter as a separate file and maybe break it down even further than that. 

Maybe each component as a separate file.

You can remove a lot of the model overhead by Exporting it as a STEP file, reopen it in Fusion and then create your 2D Drawing.

The threads didn't make a difference, cosmetic or otherwise.  I ended up removing all of the text and displaying the full face panels as a 2D vector, then doing the drawings as a hollow face, like you've shown above.  I've been able to render this stuff quite nicely.  But I like my drawings to look pro, that's generally why I pay for this program and don't just use blender and then assemble drawings in illustrator or something.

I have a pretty crusher computer with a 2070 and 12 core cpu ~3.5ghz which I built for this kind of work. Fusion can process the models it in the design and render area, It's just as soon as it tries to make it into a drawing, it throws a fit and stops working.  I fee like there's some sort of optimization that is missing here.
