Question
In SOLIDWORKS® 2021, why might I experience poor graphics performance with large drawings?

Answer
SOLIDWORKS® 2021 expanded the newly redesigned Graphics Performance Pipeline render engine
(https://help.solidworks.com/2019/Englis ... ements.htm)
from parts and assemblies to include drawings.

In most cases, this leads to a dramatic improvement of the pan and zoom functionality when working in the SOLIDWORKS drawing environment.

Some specific cases experience a loss in performance when using the new system compared to the legacy system.

To address these cases, download and install the attached file.

Just to make the subscription bit clear

It doesn't require current subscription it requires you had, at the time, subscription for solidworks 2021 sp5.1 when it was released.
