Hello
I need to make drawings of a set with more than 1000 parts. I find that every time I create a new sheet, the file size increases tremendously. The latency explodes just to get the PDF out of my drawing, it takes more than 5 minutes there.
It's as if the software loaded the whole thing on each sheet.
How can we lighten all this?
I use the "display state" functions for each view. I don't want to use configuration functions that are too risky for my taste.
Thank you
Julian
Instead of doing multi-sheets, why not do several MEPs?
Inevitably, several leaves will weigh down the opening of the MEP.
Hello;
I agree with sbadenis , prefer separate drawings to multi-sheet drawings.
And ...Yes, Solidworks " reloads " a large part of your assemblies with each new view, this effect is greatly amplified if you make detail views or sections/sections.
(By the way, Solidworks keeps in memory all views of sections made even if you delete them...).
I don't agree with your opinion about display states versus configurations.
For me it is much easier to manage and interpret assemblies with configurations (via Excel Tables -Families of parts-) this is all the more true for drawings. Configuration allows you to manage display states but not the other way around.
Kind regards.
For the 3D already drawn:

For assembly, part, and plan models:

Hi all
Using components or assemblies in lightweight mode saves resources, but the assembly must be perfectly rebuilt when it is last saved.
