I have just tested for the second time Integration of the myCADtools suite. But I find it really very long to perform some tasks. In my test case, I created an assembly with 5 very simple parts (cube, cylinder, etc.). And each piece has properties. I created 8 planes for this assembly: A0H, A0V, A1H, etc.
And I ask Integration to modify 8 properties in these 8 planes, i.e. 64 values to be changed. And it just took him 13 minutes and 17 seconds, just for that! I wonder how long it would take for a real assembly with 500 parts.
Maybe there's something I'm doing wrong. Or maybe there are tricks to make it go faster. Or is it normal that it takes so long? Do you have any advice?
For Integration, several ways to be used, some tasks can be done without opening the part in Sw (property modification), others not (creation of plan assembly...) Then, as long as Integration does the tasks from SW, there is always time to make the changes and refreshes in SW. (unlike macro where you can block the refresh of the screen until the end of the tasks. . So yes, depending on the tasks to be done, it can quickly be quite long, even if by comparing with the time you would spend manually to do the same tasks, you are generally a big winner. I use it to do dxf (cleaning up plans and then saved in dxf or to make pdfs by retrieving the properties of smartbom (Qty, Qty by marker, client...) For dxf, 5 to 8s per plan, for pdf, 12-13s per plan (depending on the complexity of the plan (large assembly), it can be more or less long. I also noticed that to be faster you have to close everything in SW before launching Integration (or even restart it)
