Changing configurations bringing in lightweight parts
Changing configurations bringing in lightweight parts
(OP)
I am quite new at using Solidworks and am experiencing this annoying problem: When I load a particular sub-assembly, all components used in the current configuration are loaded fully resolved (I have Tools>Options>Performance>Resolve lightweight components- set to 'Always') BUT when I change configurations and a new part is needed, it is loaded lightweight. This would not be a problem except that when I use my sub-assembly in another assembly, the lightweight part does not show up at all. Any clue why that would happen?

RE: Changing configurations bringing in lightweight parts
I've isolated the problem to different configurations switching between 2 sub-assemblies, each containing one part or its mirror, and 2 common parts.
RE: Changing configurations bringing in lightweight parts
There is another load-lightweight switch there.
