I don't know that much about how mcam uses the PC's recources. I thought it was mostly using the GPU to process things. In my tests using 2019, 2019 for SW, and 2020 it seems to be only using the processor. Then on top of that it is only using at most 30% of it. I have already went into my nvidia settings and made everything point to the high performance GPU. I'm trying to understand how mcam processes things, and what the optimal setup would be to run both it and solidworks with no hiccups. Below are my PC specs. I know the processor is a little outdated. Some surfacing toolpaths take an extremely long time to generate, especially if I have a lot of check surfaces selected. In this one case, I have 14 flowline toolpaths all with the same check surfaces. There are 216 total check surfaces in each. When I go to regen them, I'm stuck waiting about a half an hour. Anyone have any suggestions?
