What determines how NX loads the component parts into an assembly?

Assembly load options determine how NX loads the component parts into an assembly because they define settings that control the loading behavior of components in various scenarios. These options allow users to choose whether to load all components, only the components needed for visualization, or specific configurations required for a particular task. This capability supports efficient management of large assemblies by allowing users to minimize load times and optimize performance based on their current needs, such as editing, analyzing, or visualizing the assembly.

In contrast, reference set configurations focus on the way in which different sets of part data can be used, allowing for variations of a part to be loaded depending on specific requirements. Part family templates relate to the creation of multiple parts from a single design intent and do not directly affect how parts are loaded into an assembly. Component visibility settings control the visibility of components once they are loaded but do not determine the loading process itself.
