Updating components during load
Updating components during load
(OP)
When loading a fairly large assembly (~1000 components) I noticed in the status bar that a majority of the load time is consumed by updating components. I loaded a bookmark that I had saved yesterday at the end of the day and since then some of the components in the assembly had changes made to them so I'm assuming those are the updates taking place during the load.
Question is, this seems to have a big effect on the time it takes to load an assembly. Is there a way to not have the updates happen automatically so that the assembly loads faster? I thought there was a dynamic updating option somewhere but I can't seem to find it.
Thanks

That being said, there is a way of delaying this update until later.
Before opening your Assembly, go to...
Tools -> Update -> Interpart Update -> Delay Assembly Constraints
...and this will cause the Assembly Constraints to not update until later when you can go back to...
Tools -> Update -> Interpart Update ->
...and either toggle OFF 'Delay Assembly Constraints' or select 'Update Assembly Constraints' (which BTW will leave the 'Delay Assembly Constraints' option toggled ON). Note that you can also go to...
Customer Defaults -> Assemblies -> General -> Interpart Modeling
...and toggle on the 'Delay Assembly Constraints' option which will stop all Assembly Constraint updating when opening all Assemblies which also means that you're going to have to then manually force an update when you need it.

Looslib - I ran the loaded parts information report on the assembly and it turns out many of the parts are filed in NX6.0 or NX7.5. However, most if not all of these parts are released. Any way I can get them updated to NX8? If this is something that is slowing down the load times it seems as if we will always have this problem since at my company we seem to upgrade to the latest version of NX every year or two.
RE: Updating components during load
The ugmanager_refile utility provides the option to refiling released parts. The following arguments are required -u=infodba -p=your_infodba_password -g=dba -bypass=yes -refile_released=yes -mod_props=no ... (other options)
It has to execute as the infodba user and bypass must be requested. The -mod_props is to update last modifying user/date on dataset (or not).
Hopefully this is helpful,
Joe
