I'll apologize up front, I'm very new to Solidworks. That being said, please bear with me if I say something stupid.
In any case, I'm constructing an assembly involving 8020 parts. I've been to 3dcontentcentral to get the parts for my library, but there's a pretty frustrating problem when I actually start to work with them:
There are so many extruded edges on 8020 parts that if I even just roll my mouse over the Extrude/Boss entry in the design tree, the program takes 30 seconds just highlighting all of them. I can't even edit the Extrude/Boss to change the length of the part, it takes so freaking long.
Now, I know that 3dcontentcentral is a pretty popular website for these sort of files, so it can't be their fault. Is there something I'm missing? Maybe a view setting that won't highlight everything, or an easier way to edit lengths?
