You have the option to select to open the latest version of user-defined
or large reference trees while you open a parent non-CAD file.
To open a parent file without referenced files:
-
In the Administration tool, expand File
Types and double-click a file type.
-
In the File Type Properties dialog box, select
View file command does not need referenced
files.
SOLIDWORKS PDM does not cache reference files and the parent file opens
faster.
