Hi all,
When i start to rendering, i see that most of the time is expending for "extracting data for feature" process.I dont see any process like this on 3dstudiomax or the others. What is this, is there any way to reduce "extracting data for feature" process..

with all respects

What version and SP of SW are you using. I do not see this on the renders I do in SW2008 and SW2009.

I only see this happen on the initial time I render a model, after a number of model changes or after converting an older version file to a newer version. It typically doesn't take long and shouldn't happen every time you render.

I only see this when rendering a file from an older version.

Hi again.
I have solidworks 2007 sp5.0..I surprised. I thought that every body is experiencing this process.. It happens every time when start render. if i have to many parts, this extracting process is taking longer time then rendering.

Is your assembly in lightweight mode? If so, resolve all the components of your assembly and this should go away (sounds like you have a large assembly open). To change the settings for lightweight parts in an assembly, change this setting in system options.
