Significant performance improvements are seen in the following areas (Assembly related improvements are not available in Inventor LT):
General Modeling
- Threaded Hole - display has been optimized for better performance. Improvement is most noticeable in models with many threaded holes.
- Zoom speed when using the mouse wheel has been significantly improved for large assemblies.
Assembly Modeling
- In-place Edit - improved performance when entering and exiting in-place edit.
- Design View - activation speed has been significantly improved.
- Positional Representations - global update performance improvements for positional representations resulting in faster switching between Pos Reps, LODs, and so on. Additional efficiencies were achieved by updating only participating components.
- Section View - improved performance when using the section view command in Full mode. Significant improvement in dragging the section plane during preview and with pan/zoom/rotate viewing tools.
- Assembly Features - significant performance improvements affecting workflows using assembly updates, rebuild all, and updates during file open operations.
- Express Mode - additional commands are now available in Express Mode. See
About Express Mode.
- Drive Constraint - improvement based on better management of assembly conditions not directly involved in driving constraints.
- Replace All - for models where a component has a large number of instances (e.g. 300+) the performance is significantly improved.
- Component Pattern Selection - significant performance improvements in selecting component patterns both for initial selection and subsequent selection.
- Frame Generator - general update performance improvements. The degree of improvement differs from one dataset to another.
- Migration - applies to legacy assemblies, releases 2012 and prior. Performance of migration from Color Styles to Consistent Materials has been improved.
Drawing
Drawing view improvements are more noticeable for views of larger assemblies. Improvements in the following areas are included:
- View creation when using hidden line removed and shaded view for base and projected views.
- View navigation during view previews.
- View updates for views using Design View, Level of Detail, and Positional representations including those with visible surfaces.
- Projected View - improved performance when using the Projected View command with a placed view. Not applicable to projected view creation during base view placement.
- Reference Part preview is improved for views where the reference parts extend beyond the view margins.
