Issue:
When importing and handling STEP-files as equipment in AutoCAD Plant 3D, or in other AutoCAD vertical products, the performance is very slowly.
Causes:
Possible causes:- Hardware
- Too detailed information in the STEP-files
- In AutoCAD Plant 3D there is no need to see all details of the equipment but it will decrease the performance significantly. A Plant Designer is working differently when a manufacturer, using Inventor, where all details are needed.
