Argument raging at work
(OP)
How can it be proven that using component links are easier on model size versus solid only usage?
NX 6 but that hopefully is not relevant.

RE: Argument raging at work
The best way to prove it is to build and save 2 assemblies with the same compoments, one using links, one using the solids. Then compare the size of the saved assemblies. Both assemblies must be built identically with the same steps and mating conditions. If you save X times while building Assy1, save X times while building Assy2. Every save will add to the file size because of revision history.
My feeling is you will see very little difference as an assembly file is made up of the mating relations and pointers to the component files. There may be some bits turned on or off to designate that the componet is a link or a solid.
