Improve drawing performance and capacity

Use the following options:

Enable background updates of drawing views

You can review the drawing or create drawing annotations before calculation of drawing views finishes.

Use design view and level of detail representations

Level of Detail representations suppress unneeded components or replace many parts with a single part representation to reduce memory consumption.

   Click Open an Existing File , and locate and select the assembly file.
