Arrangement & Loading of Components
Arrangement & Loading of Components
(OP)
Here's the situation (NX7.5):
- An assembly was saved with a user arrangement in use.
- in that arrangement, a component prototype and all its occurences are suppressed.
Question: why is the suppressed component still being loaded when opening the assembly with the user arrangement as the active one?
Thanks.

RE: Arrangement & Loading of Components
If that suppressed component wouldn't be loaded, the "unsuppress" when changing arrangement would not work,
- I guess that "unsuppress" doesn't load files.
But, yes, I too would like the suppressed parts to be unloaded, it would/ could speed up loading in some cases.

RE: Arrangement & Loading of Components
If you wish a Component to NOT be 'open' (i.e. loaded) you will need to explicitly 'Close' it. And when you working in the Assembly, simply 'Close' all the Components that you would like to not see when you initially load your assembly and then save 'Bookmark'. Then even if you 'Open' and 'Close' other component and then Save your assembly, to see it opened with only the 'loaded' components the next time you want to work on the Assembly simply open the Bookmark INSTEAD of the Part file. That way, Components that are 'Closed' will still be 'Closed' (and thus unloaded), Components suppressed will still be suppressed and those which are hidden will still be hidden.

BTW, I thought Reference Sets were not to be used with components...
Thanks anyway.
