Modified: 27-Dec-2021

Applies To

Pro/ENGINEER and Creo Elements/Pro Wildfire 2.0 to Wildfire 5.0

Creo Parametric 1.0 to 8.0

Description

How to improve performance for large assembly by decreasing display quality.

Random premature exit occurs while retrieving top-level assembly.
When moving (Pan/Zoom/Rotate) large assemblies in graphics, movement is slow/sluggish.
Is there a tool or utility to investigate which component or sub assembly in the session consume the memory
How to improve performance for large part

Resolution

Set the following config.pro options with the recommended value:

Options Value Information

blended_transparency no Transparent colors will appear using alpha blending or not when the model is shaded

spin_with_part_entities no Datum features will not display during dynamic spinning of a model.

display_silhouette_edges no Sets the display of silhouette edges or wireframe display only

edge_display_quality low Control display quality of an edge for wireframe and hidden-line removal

fasthlr yes Specifies whether fast hidden line removal is on/off by default

Use simplified highlighting which redisplays more quickly at the expense of certain
fast_highlight yes
details

Determines whether or not the system uses Level of Detail in shaded models during
lods_enabled no
dynamic orientation (panning, zooming and spinning)

open_simplified_rep_by_default yes Retrieves a model in specified representation. Yes - uses Open Rep dialog

Determines if the display of an object currently on the screen is kept in memory when
retain_display_memory yes
you quit the window

save_model_display shading_lod Sets amount of graphical data stored

Model shade quality is used to decide how much to subdivide surfaces for shading
shade_quality 1
purposed. This option is added starting at Wildfire 5.0

skip_small_surfaces yes Gives the user the option not to display small shaded surfaces

tangent_edge_display no Determines how edges between tangent surfaces are displayed

enable_opengl_fbo no This option is added starting at Creo Parametric 2.0

enable_opengl_vbo no This option is added starting at Creo Parametric 2.0

 enable_opengl_shader no This option is added starting at Creo Parametric 2.0
