I am modeling an acoustic guitar and i have the top, sides,
and back as separate parts in the assembly - but the fretboard is a
part that contains all of the frets (20) bodies in one part.
If i hide the fretboard that contains all the frets as bodies i can work on the assembly.
but if i try to work on the frets everything comes to a stand still.
Should the frets each be their own separate parts? Or a sub assembly?
Thanks
Im willing to try and attach the file if anyone wants to have a look

I've never seen the body count of a part by itself drag down an assembly.
If the frets contain a lot of complex faces, then it wouldn't make much difference how they come into the assembly. Are they complex. though? I would have assumed that your frets are simple rectangular blocks, and with only twenty or so I wouldn't think they add much geometry.
If you were suppressing rather than hiding the fret part, I would suspect an awkward arrangement of mates, but that's not the case.
If you post the parts, I'll take a look. You also might want to list the specs for your PC in your signature, so others might spot a problem there.
