Already learned this the hard way. Feature recongnition just wont load on big parts and my computer is built for solidworks running 5ghz 8core 32gig ram with worstation graphics Firepro w8100 8gig . It loads massive assemblys and rotates etc with 0 lag but cant load feature recognition on a medium size part. Even on smaller parts it doesnt do well with circles and stuff and needs a lot of rework.This is only with STL. If its step or igs feature recognition works better.
