Stop rebuilding configurations?

Hello

I have parts with a large number of configurations, for example a pipe elbow with several ø and different thickness.

Every time I save the model or assembly or use the model it rebuilds all the possible configurations. It takes a long time for no benefit.

Can we block these rebuilds before saving by limiting it to the active configuration?

 

Thank you

Julian

Hello;

If they are mainly library components (elbows, piping elements, bolts, etc.), switch their files to read-only, then uncheck the "Do not save documents as read-only" box.
Tools > Options > System Options > External References and select Do not require to save referenced documents as read-only.


Kind regards

It allows you to save with each addition or not if enabled, deactivated
