There are cases where some of the components included in the assembly are broken links.
When opening that assembly, it seems to take slightly longer than usual to find the broken component.
Is there a setting to speed up the opening of the assembly in such cases?
Solution
The LinkMgmt.txt file is used to resolve links on opening an assembly file.
Find All Linked Documents uses the same ASCII text file for resolving links as Solid Edge. LinkMgmt.txt contains information for specifying the search order and a search algorithm that defines the folders to search when resolving the link. The location for LinkMgmt.txt is defined on the File Locations tab of the Solid Edge Options dialog box.
Additional information regarding LinkMgmt.txt is available in the Solid Edge help file Opening and saving managed documents.
As default the LinkMgmt.txt contains below sequence.
---------------------------------------
CONTAINER
RELATIVE
ABSOLUTE
BEGIN SEARCH PATH
?
END SEARCH PATH
---------------------------------------------------------
Where it searches files in the below order –
Container – Searches for files in the folder of the opened assembly file location.
Relative – Searches for files in folders inside the assembly file folder location.
Absolute – Searches for files with the last saved absolute path of the file.
Search Paths – Search for files in the paths listed between "BEGIN SEARCH PATH" and "END SEARCH PATH"
