I am creating a PCB panel from many PCB assy's. I have it all arranged the way I want and I have saved it as an assembly. The assembly's file size is about 6.5 Mb. I want to save it as a part because I think that if I do the file will be smaller. Every time I try and do this though, Solidworks bogs down. I am watching the memory usage in Task Manager keep spooling up (1.8 Gigs right now) so, I know it's still trying to save the file.
Have I done something wrong? Better yet, is there a better way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan
How are you doing it? File, save as part?
If that isn't working, try save as a parasolid file, then open and save as part.
