CATIA V5: Asynchronous Download Preference Option
Product: Windchill, Windchill PDMLink, Windchill ProjectLink, Windchill Workgroup Manager for CATIA V5
Release: 11.0 F000
Benefit
Performance has been improved when loading and opening large CATIA V5 assemblies. Additionally, the response time for design mode requests has been improved.
Additional Details
A new asynchronous option is available for the wwgm.download.method.upon.open preference. When this preference is set to async, CGR files and secondary files are downloaded first during operations to add a CATIA V5 assembly to the workspace or open a CATIA V5 assembly in CATIA V5 from the Windchill commonspace. After those files have been downloaded, primary content files (.CATPart and .model files) are downloaded.
