I am still using NX4, and am thinking about running it on a new computer running Windows 10.
Has anyone tried this with success. I also have NX5 and NX6 if that is an option.

In 2010 I posted this problem, and as a result, stayed with NX4

A few months ago, I switched to NX6 from NX4, and I noticed that a few functions took a lot more time in NX6 than I would have thought, so I switched back to NX4. My PC is a 64 bit machine, and I have dual processors working in NX4 and NX6.
I have just done a time comparison on the same part in NX4 and NX6. The solid had 1426 surfaces.

I extracted the surfaces from the solid:
- NX4 time to extract was 3 min 47 sec.
- NX6 time to extract was 19 min 02 sec.

Deleting the parameters from those extracted surfaces:
- NX4 time = 1 min 11 sec.
- NX6 time = 1 min 54 sec.

Copying those extracted surfaces to another layer:
- NX4 time = 1 min 11 sec.
- NX6 time = 7 min 08 sec.

So, is there some setting I need to make adjust to make NX6 faster.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
