Apparently Unnecessary Rebuilds of Drawings

    When drawings are first opened and are shown "lightweight" it takes
    very little time to switch from one sheet to another or from one
    drawing to another.

    As components are resolved, the need for rebuilding arises. This is
    understandable; however, I think the rebuilding suffers from notable
    performance problems:

    1. For example, a rebuild takes place on sheet 1, then another rebuild
    occurs when the user switches to sheet 2. This makes sense, but WHY is
    a rebuild needed when the user immediately swithches back to sheet 1
    after having made NO changes (or after having ONLY modified
    annotations)?

    2. Not being able to stop a rebuild is a major performance nuisance.
    If the user wants to abort a rebuild (just as with a part or assembly)
    WHY can't the ESCape key be used?

    3. When drawings are being closed and the user opts NOT to save, WHY
    is rebuilding initiated during the closure of the file? (Sometimes
    this action prompts me to simply kill SolidWorks via the Task Manager
    rather than wait for the apparently useless rebuilds!

    If such symptoms bother you as well, then please let your VAR and
    SolidWorks know (via Enhancement Requests, etc.)

  2. Per,

    I don't get it either, except the programmer who wrote it in??
    Makes one go... hmm??????$$$$$$$$????????$$$$$$$?????????$$$$$$$????????

    BTW, this is very common with models with configurations, which are
    already resolved.
    There is something triggering or requesting that the model or drawing
    resolve and there is no reason for it.
