Lightweight in assemblies

Lightweight in assemblies

Lightweight in assemblies

(OP)
When I open an assembly it always goes to lightweight. I have turned off the "Use large Assembly Mode" to increase performance. I do not have a check mark in the "Automatically load components lightweight" I have increased the number of components to 1500 in the "Use large assembly Mode".

If I rebuild after "Set Lightweight to resolved" and then save the assembly, when I re-open it it is back to lightweight.

Thanks in advance

RE: Lightweight in assemblies

If you've turned OFF Use large Assembly Mode it doesn't matter what number of components it is set to. You might be better off to leave it ON with the higher number.

In Tools > Options > System Options > Performance/Assemblies set Resolve lightweight components and Rebuild assemblies on load to Always

cheers

Thanks for the info, but it still comes up in lightweight. I will keep looking.
