Application Visible vs Open Document Invisible Performance

Hi,

I'm writing an application that will create drawings in Inventor. I'm trying to increase it's speed and have read that opening documents with visibility set to false will aid in this.

 

From what I can see there are two ways to make things not visible:

 

1. Set the application.visible property to false

2. Open the document invisible

 

Will one of these options perform faster than the other?

 

I ask because my code has to access browser nodes on the drawings to set some components visiblility so setting the application to false still allows me to do this.

 

thanks,

John

If you deal with Inventor data and need not to interact with UI you can just use invisible mode for both Document and Application. Usually document invisible mode will improve performance better than Application invisible mode.
