Fusion 360 really slow and crashing when adding embossed text

Anonymous

I am quite happy with the Fusion 360 performance. However, when I try to emboss some text I find that it really slows down.

 

The Mac spinning beach ball appears on every operation and trying to save the file is a horrible experience.

 

Here is a file where I am experiencing it: http://a360.co/2qV8fSK

Thats right, some times its hard to emboss a text into a model, that is because When you are doing that Fusion is working with several operations at the same time and demand from you computer a lot, how ram do you have?, whats your cpu?

My machine specs: 

- MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)

- 2,6 GHz Intel Core i5

- 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

- Graphics Intel Iris 1536 MB

 

May be I am limited in the CPU side or is the GPU also important in this computation apsect?

Operations --- CPU

Graphics ---GPU

In this particular case Fusion360 is using both of them. I think is a good machine to work.

You can try to use Fusion with a little graphics limited to better your computer perfomance, follow this instructions

My graphics settings are set to the lowest. Still experiencing the same issues. :(. 

 

May be is just hard, or Fusion doesn't handle this types of operations really well.

This is not a graphics problem.  This is just a very complex emboss ( a lot of text, and on a cylinder face).  It's just going to be slow.  Is there a reason you need that much embossed text?
