Hello all,
I've been trying to find an answer to this via Google and the Forum Search but was unable hence the creation of this post.
We have a plant section completely drawn in Inventor which would be considered a large assembly imo (takes over 2-3min to open and can get sluggish to move around and create drawing views). This assembly has a bunch of sub assemblies in it which represent various pieces of equipement. I've created Simplified Model states of those Sub-Assemblies and then created a Model State in my main assembly which displays those simplified versions instead of the "Primary" versions.
The problem that I am facing is that the loading time is still exactly the same when loading the "Simplified" main assembly Model State as it is for the "Primary" Model State (both in Express mode). The Simplified main assembly is faster to move around in but it is only a small improvement. We are mainly looking for faster opening times.
I've found this about LODs and was wondering if it still applies to Model States. If so it would mean that by doing what I have done, I have made my situation even worse for loading time.
Practice: Using more than one LOD representation in a drawing.
Impact:For each view using a different LOD, a copy of the assembly is loaded into memory. For a large assembly this can increase memory usage drastically.

Please let me know what I can do to improve opening times for such large assemblies where I don't mind to load Simplified versions of some components.
Computer Specs for Reference: i7-10750H, 32GB RAM, Samsung 1TB SSD, RTX 2060 6GB GPU.
Files are stored on a brand new HP server and we have dedicated Gigabit connections to it. (One Gigabit connection per user). This is most probably a bottleneck, but by lowering the assembly size I should still improve my loading times.
Thanks everyone,
K.
