Lightweight representation not being created
Lightweight representation not being created
(OP)
Hello all
I have just been creating a simplified engine model for one of our divisions using the linked exterior feature in advanced assemblies. Whilst I was doing it I was telling the guy how fast it would load compared to the full assembly (typically 3-5 seconds in light weight compared with 2-3 mins) however, once I had created the linked exterior and deleted the parent assmebly from the file, I:-
savced the new model,
added it to the assmebly in the correct position,
deleted the old assmebly, saved the top level, closed all parts and exited NX,
Opened the assembly with light reps toggled on in my load options,
However when my new model opened, it opened as exact and when I right click on it in the ANT, i don't have the option to turn it to lightweight.
Any ideas what's gone wrong please?
