Slow Drawing Response with multiple Sheets

I have an assembly with a couple hundred components.  The 3D side response time is fast - no problems.  I created a drawing.  Its a construction/assembly process so there are more than a few sheets.  A little over 20 right now.  Doing almost anything in the drawing space has gotten slower and slower as sheets have been added.  Then I started wondering why adding sheets downstream is slowing the process on those sheets so badly.  It doesn't seem like it should be affected by the number of previous sheets.  So I ran a little experiment recording elapsed times.

 

New Sheet on existing drawing (20 sheets).  Full assembly.  Changed view scale and shading.

45 Seconds to final placement on sheet

Suppression of one component

9 minutes!

New sheet on new drawing.  Same full assembly.  Same changed view and shading.

45 seconds

Suppression of same component

24 seconds!

 

I can't imagine why the number of sheets would effect suppressing and un-suppressing a component on a single sheet.  

BTW it takes 9 minutes for the drawing file to initially open (not a WiFi issue - the download is fast) and 9 minutes and 6 minutes respectively (existing and new) to make one detail view - not steller performance either but at least they are similar.

I am just a hobbyist trying to use some spare time constructively  (so far).  I can always open a book or diddle on the internet so if it matters this is not a complaint - just an FYI.  I have used many CAD programs in my engineering life and Fusion 360 is turning into one of my favorites.

Anyway I just thought I would report it.  If this isn't a known issue and someone wants to examine the file, I can post it.  But it is a drawing connected to a assembly file and I am still working on it so I'm not sure what it is going to look like when you get around to loading it up.  And I cant save the files under a new name because the associativity obviously disappears.

Hi Matt,

If you could send or share your file with me (christopher.miller@autodesk.com), I'd like to take a look.  In the data panel, click the version number, then Open details on the web and use the export option in the upper right and select Fusion 360 Archive.

 

How complex is the geometry?  Features like modeled threads in the design can adversely affect performance in the drawing, but 9 minutes to suppress a component sounds excessive.

 

Thanks,

Chris
