Hi Guys,
I do have an assembly (20,445 KB) which was given by the client and, it has a lot of component inside. Were when I open it in Solidworks prompts a warning saying that, due to so many components in the assembly It may affect the performance.
How do I reduce the file size without affecting the scale of the components inside.
If there are any hidden parts in the assembly you can select "Do not load hidden components" from the File > Open window.
You could also work in Large Assembly Mode or Large Design Review depending on what you need to do with the assembly.
Another option may be to open the assembly, suppress the parts you don't need active all the time and then save again, so the next time you open it there will be less to load.
Finally, a hardware upgrade may be in order - what are your computer specs?
