KB: Troubleshoot poor performance of Fusion 360 MCAD with boards having 500+ components

Created: September 23, 2021 | Updated: March 08, 2024

Altium Designer

Starting in version: 20.1 Up to Current

This is a known issue with Fusion (reported for all big assemblies, not only with the ones built by CoDesigner.)

Solution Details

As an alternative approach, we provide a way to disable the placement of small components (in most cases, they are not important for the mechanical design). See this documentation: https://www.altium.com/documentation/altium-designer/new-in-codesigner-ad#!support-for-fusion-360-to-ignore-small-components
