Assembly Open As page (Solid Edge Options dialog box, Assembly environment)

The Assembly Open As tab defines the criteria for selecting how an assembly opens based on the number of unique components.

The criteria for determining assembly size based on the number of unique components can be defined. Small Assemblies are defined by being less than the amount entered. Large Assemblies are defined by being more than the amount entered. Medium Assemblies are defined by a range between the small and large values.

Note:

The number of unique components is defined as the number of unique parts plus unique subassemblies.

Settings are based on small, medium and large assemblies and can be set independently for each by the user.
