Inventor assembly becomes slow

[gasper00]

Hi everyone.

Looking through this forum, I found quite a few topics regarding Inventor speed, but I couldn't find something that relates to my specific situation.

I assume my problem is a no-brainer for a lot of you here, so here it goes:

I'm designing a configurator with iLogic, so, naturally, I'm constantly going back and forth, experimenting, testing, adding features, deleting features...

After a week or two of doing this, the performance of my assembly becomes noticeably slower - it takes longer to load, each mouse click gets a few seconds lag, even the model preview in Vault takes a while to load...

But, if I start again and build a new assembly from scratch and I add all the features, parameters, functionalities I had before, then the new assembly is lightning fast.

So I assume that when I'm modeling, adding and deleting features, all this information and modeling history is being stored somewhere in the background of this assembly, which eventually makes it slower.

How can I combat this, so I won't have to make a new assembly every time I'm done with the testing phase?

p.s.

I designed a few configurators in the past and it's always the same story with every one.

Hi

Try clearing the %temp% folder.

Remember that the configurator forces additional vigilance on Inventor websites; automation means not having to click the same thing again, but it doesn't mean having to recalculate the same thing.

I knew it had to be something stupid-simple. I just don't know why the temp folder never occured to me... Anyway, thanks a lot!
