If I open a step file of a PCBA from my desktop while connected to Windchill it takes about 10 times longer than it does if I am "offline". 2 examples: ~2 minutes vs 17-20 minutes for a fairly small PCBA, ~4 minutes vs 35-40 minutes for a larger PCBA. I don't understand why this is the case, because Windchill should have no involvement in the task.
If anyone has an explanation for this, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks!
No real idea, but maybe the components that are "extracted" out of the STEP file have the same name as the objects already in your Windchill database - and so time is spent "synchronizing" your workspace...
I'm going to go along with Paul and agree that Windchill is checking to see if the names match.
You'll need someone who can profile the Windchill installation to see what is delaying the operation.
