Oftentimes Autodesk Inventor large Assembly model performance is rated on individual workstation hardware and setup. The actual performance across a network is often overlooked and many variables contribute to end results.
In the presentation linked below, we take a look at some of those variables and how they can contribute to an efficient system. We make some recommendations based upon our experience with large (make that very large) Inventor models across a distributed network.
Of course there are so many things to consider we cannot make an all-encompassing recommendation but there is enough information to guide your own investigations.

Speaker Craig Breckenridge
Craig is the Lead Designer at Dynamic Structures where he is supervising the design team on the Thirty Meter Telescope Enclosure. He is actively involved in developing the company’s approach to CAD Standards, Integration and Methodologies. He is helping coordinate the move to a Product Based Manufacturer from a Project Based one.
He has previously held the positions of Engineering Systems Manager and Drawing Office Manager. With over 40 years experience in manufacturing for everything from bridges and material handling to arenas and telescopes, he has a wide background to call upon when determining the best way forward with a design.
Craig works hard to ensure his experience, particularly in the field of astronomical equipment design is passed on to his younger co-workers in order to preserve it for future projects. An active participant in all things Autodesk, he remains current in the latest software products and willingly shares his views.
Class Description
Learn how to overcome technical hurdles such as large-model rendering. We’ll provide proven hardware configuration and software customizations for application (Inventor software, AutoCAD software, and Vault software) optimization, eliminating productivity decline and system crashes. This presentation will show software customization and hardware recommendations through Microsoft PowerPoint.
Learning Objectives
- Learn how to eliminate productivity roadblocks encountered with large models
- Learn about optimal hardware configuration
- Learn about application customizations within Inventor, Vault, and AutoCAD
- Learn how to identify system optimizations to prevent system crashes
