If I open a step file of a PCBA from my desktop while connected to Windchill it takes about 10 times longer than it does if I am "offline". 2 examples: ~2 minutes vs 17-20 minutes for a fairly small PCBA, ~4 minutes vs 35-40 minutes for a larger PCBA. I don't understand why this is the case, because Windchill should have no involvement in the task.
If anyone has an explanation for this, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks!
