When I’m doing a lot of heavy work only that area is loaded.Think about it. My assemblies are typically broken down into several levels. Better to make a reference folder in the same directory with the component or have another location for that info. You’ll probably find the entire company’s product catalog along with hi-res photos and contact info, like I did.While all that info is good and a new hire may think it useful, it kills assemblies when it’s tucked away in there. Look in the Design Binder (top of FeatureManager tree) of that part. You may find one assembly locking up on a some parts when it’s loading. Lock those badboys down by fully defining them. But when you need to mate things, fully mate them, so you don’t get those minus signs out in front.īy the way, same goes for sketches. This is why I like working top-down with everything fixed. That’s why you’ll see the rebuild symbol next to something you’ve just moved or rotated.The best way is to not have mates. SolidWorks has to solve the position of all those components. Many times you’ll have nuts and bolts that are not locked down completely. This is a little more than just adding mates. Combine this with the first one when you don’t need a lot of extra detail shown in the model for even more improvements. This, of course, turns the entire assembly into a single part.I’ll save it in the same directory and give it the same custom properties as the original assembly. In SolidWorks, you can open an assembly and select File, Save as…, SolidWorks Part.
I bet there are a lot of sub-assemblies you reuse. You do this and then combine them into a simplified configuration and you’re already seeing improvements. There’s just two things I do here to move a lot faster. Finally, you can stop holding your breath and see if it opens faster. Yell at someone for touching your screen. We’ll start out with some common sense and then get really weird.Įasy enough right? Suppress this. If your rate is $80/hr that starts chipping away at the margins pretty quick.
