I am still having problems with SP2 on 2016 and reinstalling a fresh install has not fixed it.
When I create models of spur gears each single tooth defined by 4 or 5 circular arcs in a 2D sketch which is extruded, So if I have a 20 tooth gear I may have 120 to 150 arcs in the sketch.
Creating the model is no problem.... editing is a different story.
When I click on the extruded surface in the tree, it takes maybe 30 seconds for the model to "paint" the surface by highlighting each intersection point. Eventually it may (or may not) turn the surface blue and then I can deal with it. Often times SW just gets stuck and I have to close the program without getting anything done - annoying.
No other version I have used over 15 years has done this.
Any thoughts on how to fix this other than throw 2016 in the garbage? I have clients that are on 2016 and I have to use the version they are on.
