Lightweight Question
Lightweight Question
(OP)
Hello All,
I have a large assy (about 60MB) that I want to open completely as Lightweight and have selected the options to do that. However, when it it done opening I see that it is still resolving some of the sub assemblies. Is there something that I am missing here? If I open a few of the sub assemblies by themselves the do open 100% lightweight but the top level assy does not.
Thanks,
BB

RE: Lightweight Question
Etron - Thanks for your input but I need to open the entire assembly and as I go from one sub-assy to the next, resolving them as I go.
One thing I did notice is that each sub-assy that opens "resolved" is either a "flexible" assy or it has a "flexible sub-assy" inside of it. Does anyone know if that is a rule of some sort, that flexible sub assy can not be made lightweight?
RE: Lightweight Question
Question: Can a flexible sub assembly be loaded lightweight?
Answer: No, a flexible sub assembly is always loaded as resolved.

Thanks for the confirmation, much appreciated. I see you are a fellow CADKEY user, my sympathies :) I started using it when it was Cadkey 97'.....I still have nightmares about that software.
