Joined parts?
(OP)
We have been having problems with large assemblies and in discussions with an overseas office using Solidworks their solution has been to create joined parts of subassemblies. Is this the best approach for this type of problem, what are the pro's and con's to this.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Joined parts?
Rather than creating new joined parts, you can save (depending on SW version) your assemblies as SLDPRTs. This turns everything into surface models.
Or you can save your entire assembly as a parasolid file. This will output each part as a solid model, but the file size will be much smaller.
If the assembly needs to be a full parametric models, some discussion on this happened last month.
