Buy the best card you can afford, do your research, a gaming card may very well give you the best bang for the buck. This opens up the market for your selections to gaming cards instead of only CAD rated cards. Inventor now uses Direct3D as opposed to OpenGL like it did prior to the release of Inventor 2012.
Graphics cards are another place where you want as much on-board memory as possible. The idea is to have Inventor work in RAM as much as possible, exceeding RAM and forcing Inventor to use Windows Virtual memory will slow down your workstation dramatically.
The key word is RAM, RAM, RAM - get as much RAM as you can afford. To start, get the best hardware setup you can afford. The settings and practices we will discuss can only go so far with the hardware you have. The hardware you get or have to work with is the foundation for what we are about to accomplish here. Making a few changes in the software settings and workflow practices can greatly reduce this wasted time and make the user more productive.įirst off let us take a moment and touch on the details of hardware for this discussion. The causes for this can be anything from subpar hardware, to default application settings that don't support your needs, to poor file maintenance practice. Users that work with large, complicated part or assembly files waste vast amounts of time waiting for these files to generate and build upon activation. Besides, Tom Brady is far better than Peyton Manning anyways, so why argue? Peyton Manning, bother the guys out in the shop, and then wander back to your desk only to find the file is still loading? The days of activating a file on an Insta-View workstation and waiting eight hours for it to regenerate graphics are a bad memory, today you can choose a few settings and incorporate some basic best practices and these files will open faster than it'll take you to get that coffee. Working With Large Files in Autodesk Inventor 30 Apr, 2015 By: James “Jim” O’Flaherty IMAGINiT Tricks Tutorial: Don't get stuck waiting for your files - update your settings and save time now.Įditor's note: This tutorial courtesy of IMAGINiT Technologies.ĭo you often find yourself waiting on your files to upload because they are very large or complex? Ever wish you could speed up that load time? Or do you prefer to open a large file, get a coffee, go for a walk, discuss Tom Brady vs.
