Something turning on Lightweight parts in assemblies?
Something turning on Lightweight parts in assemblies?
(OP)
My system options are set to NOT automatically load parts lightweight (the option is in Tools, Options... Performance; check box "Automatically Load Components Lightweight" is clear). However, something turns this setting on quite frequently, and it remains on (as a system option should) for all files. Does anybody know what would trigger this setting on? I'd like for that not to happen. Thanks,
Brian

In the thread I posted, hisrik's post told me something I didn't know--essentially that once I've used light-weight assemblies, an option becomes selected automatically.

RE: Something turning on Lightweight parts in assemblies?
There is an option in there for automatically starting large assembly mode--you can set it to Always, Prompt, or Never. I had it set at Prompt--I just changed it to never. We'll see if that makes a difference.
I shouldn't have had to change that--I suspect that this is a defect. I'm going to wait & see if the "Never" selection fixes things, & I'll submit this to my VAR.
Thanks for the quick help!

I did the same thing you did, but later found that either the Performance settings or Large Assembly Mode settings were automatically changed (can't remember which), so I had to reset things. (The always, never, prompt thing wasn't the problem.)
