What is the difference between Partial and Fully load options?

Solution

From the documentation:

Partial loading usage recommendations

You should use partial loading for all moderate to large assemblies in order to improve load performance and reduce memory requirements. Partial loading minimizes the amount of data that needs to be loaded from each component. It loads just enough to display the geometry that is included in the active reference set.

NX will sometimes fully load components as needed, or you can load them explicitly at any time. Making a part the work part, for example, will immediately fully load the component.

When you reposition a component that is mated to a partially loaded one, the software will ask you to confirm the operation first before fully loading the component.

Note:

You can see the loading status of files in the Load State column of the Assembly Navigator. If the column has a blank row for a component, the component is unloaded. If the column has an icon, the icon or its tooltip tells you whether the component is partially loaded or fully loaded.
