What settings in CREO would allow me to fast navigate a BIG assembly? Any secrets any tips will help. EXISTING is frame by frame slow movement of the assembly. 

Thanks in advance for your reply.

There are a lot of things that affect performance for large assemblies..

With respect to graphics card, you really need an nvidia quadro workstation grade video card. 

 

there are many suggestions here: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS133707?_g

There is a good presentation download here: https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTC-Community-Networking/Bringing-Large-Assemblies-Down-to-Size/m-p/444618

 

If I am just trying to view and find model names, I use Creo view to help navigate, it is way quicker to open and get basic information from a model.

    I seriously spent some of my work time to quick browse the PDF presentation as it caught my attn and my next step is to focus more Indepth on the one pager I attached. This is what I squeezed out of the print. Your thoughts

    I would say that I saw the model in another discussion. However, it was not an assembly containing solid models, but probably an imported model consisting only of surfaces.

      Hi,

      test model rotation in all modes (Wireframe, No Hidden, Hidden Line, Shaded, Shaded with edges) and let me know which mode has slow response and which mode has quick response.

       

      Also I would like to know how you open Solidworks assembly. Do you use File>Open or File>Import command?
