A week ago I noticed that all of the parts in my assemblies are loading as lightweight.I think of this as more of an annoyance than a sever problem, but I want to know if there is a menu selection that I some how activated. I do not work with large assemblies.
For the past week I have done the following to convert convert all entities from lightweight to resolved: I right-click on the the top assembly icon and select set lightweight to resolved which then resolves all of the components in the assembly.
Welcome to SolidWorks forums Maxwell.
Tools > Options > Performance and uncheck Automatically load components lightweight under Assemblies.
