Hello,

Do not use Light Grapics, u need to use Envelope parts.

We have some ASM with more then 10000 parts, this is one Envelope-Part.

Hello,

You don't know what you are doing with LG Reps.

What i do

  • Make a ASM
    • With skeletons, parts
    • Make a default envelope of this ASM
    • Make a REP (name), with all default envelope rep & keep the skeletons in master rep
  • Place this ASM in a upperlevel ASM
    • placing with/on the skeleton
    • then make in this ASM a rep where u set default masterrep, but for the ASM above u use the REP(name)

Do not assemble the envelope part, but use rep!

This is a good way to handle large models.
