Significant performance improvements are seen in the following areas (Assembly-related improvements are not available in Inventor LT):
Assembly (not available in Inventor LT)
- Entering In-place edit is faster.
- Window selection, when using Component, Part, or Body selection filters, shows significant performance improvement.
- Pan, Zoom, and Rotate performance for multiple component selection sets are improved.
- Component pattern was redesigned to:
- Improve performance in preview display and navigation.
- Use the active view representation, not the master view representation.
- Improve pattern compute performance.
- Improve performance of patterning virtual components.
- Using the Visibility toggle, in the marking and context menus, is faster for deeper level components in large assemblies.
- Using Object Visibility to change the state of work features, 2D sketches, 3D sketches, and so on.
- Express Mode
- 3D Section View performance is improved.
- For large assemblies, Open or Close performance for the following commands is improved:

Tube & Pipe overall performance is improved.
Part
- Feature pattern performance is improved for:
- Nested feature patterns.
- Identical feature patterns.
- Part files with imported DXF or DWG files open faster.
Drawing
- Improved view preview performance provides faster drawing workflows.
- Changing component hidden line display in an assembly view using the component browser context menu
Hidden Lines option.
- Auxiliary view creation is faster, and is most noticeable when working with large assemblies.
- Drawing Section View performance is improved.
AnyCAD
- Import and edit performance of Reference AnyCAD assembly files is improved.
- Import dialog box displays faster.
