Imported part memory problems
Imported part memory problems
(OP)
Don't worry - I realize this topic has been covered a bazillion times - but I can't find the answer to this specific question: Is there an easy way to reduce the memory drain on simple little bolts and screws without re-modeling them in SolidWorks? (In AutoCAD, or wherever the were born - they were born with too much detail for many of my SolidWorks' models to handle.)

RE: Imported part memory problems
Would you explain that statement please?
Any part (irrespective of name) can be replaced with another part with any other name. They parts don't even have to look even remotely alike. You almost certainly will receive error messages about mates, but they can usually be ver easily fixed. You also have the option of replacing single or "All instances" of a part.

'good' names meaning that I'd have to look at each part to determine what it was - the part names themselves aren't descriptive enough for me to do a simple 'replace components,' - not without opening up each part file and examining if it would go with the assembly in question.
