How to configure Creo Parametric to increase performance when working with large assemblies?
Default loading times for large assemblies takes to long time.
Default spinning, zooming and panning assemblies lags.
When working with large assemblies Creo Parametric sometimes freezes up.
Overall performance for large assemblies are slow.
For large assemblies some config.pro settings is to prefer:
tangent_edge_display solid
edge_display_quality
display shade
shade_quality 3
prehighlight no
Tested versions:
Creo Parametric 3.0 M190
Creo Parametric 4.0 M090
Creo parametric 5.0.4.0
Tests shown by opening large assemblies with different settings:
High resolution configurations for Creo Parametric
tangent_edge_display dimmed
edge_display_quality very_high
display shadewithedges
shade_quality 5
prehighlight yes
enable_fsaa 16
Low resolution configurations for Creo Parametric
tangent_edge_display solid
edge_display_quality normal
display shade
shade_quality 3
prehighlight no
enable_fsaa off
Loading assembly (File --> Open from Workspace)
Avarage loading time approx: 3 min and 30 sec
Comment: Work with large assemblies is very slow Loading assembly (File --> Open from Workspace)
Avarage loading time approx: 1 min and 30 sec
Comment: Work with large assemblies goes very smooth
Different tests shows speed increase between 100-150%
In addition to this from Creo Parametric 4.0 and later "automatic rep" is introduced to replace earlier versions of representations.
This should be used by users that are working with large assemblies at all times.
Tests shows speed increase of 400% of the same assembly when opening the assembly using "Automatic rep" instead of "Master rep" with the following configurations:
tangent_edge_display solid
edge_display_quality normal
display shade
shade_quality 3
prehighlight no
enable_fsaa off
Recommended setting to use is to set config.pro: open_simplified_rep_by_default yes
This will prompt the user to choice which representation that should be opened:
