Very tired of checking OFF the option Lightweight for OPEN FILE.

Whenever I need to Quick view file. Lightweight option will check ON. And stay ON for all the files I need to work on today. Don't like to have it ON. Piping BOM won't show parts in the drawings.
Go to System Options-Performance. turn it OFF.
Couple hours later need to quick view. Lightweight go ON again. Go to System Options-Performance. turn it OFF.

..... And so forever in circles.

Any suggestions for keeping it off?

No one else has this question

There are two places to set lightweight mode, one (that you mentioned) is under Tools>Options>System Options>Performance, under the Assemblies group.

The other is under Tools>Options>System Options>Assemblies, then the Large Assemblies group. Check your settings there to see if your "large assembly mode" is kicking on.

If it is truly after you open something with Quick View, then I am not familiar with the problem; ofcourse I always load lightweight, so I wouldn't notice.

  Charles, it's easy to notice. Just turn off both mentioned places.
  
  Go to look anything view only mode (Open - quick view check box). As a result of this action:
  "Performance" check box Automatically load components lightweight will go ON. The one in "assemblies" will not go ON by itself. Have it off just fine.
  
  With piping add/in can't use lightweight. Route will not update AT ALL after the change was done. BM as well will come up partly empty.

    I agree, this has been very bothersome since SP0. Maybe it'll be fixed in SP4.
    I'm actually surprised to hear that people are able to work in lightweight mode, as I have never had good results using it. There always seems to be a rebuild problems, assembly mates that don't solve correctly, and drawings not updating properly.
    Resolving components always seemed to fix these issues. I've stopped using them all together because of these anomolies.
    
    Hey wait, maybe SW can look into the root of the problem and fix lightweight mode in SP4.
