    Saving only changed files

    Would "bottom-up" design cause resaves to occur? Are we wrong to have a component as the "subassembly"? Such that, widget --thingamagig ----whatchamacallit, would cause "widget" to file often? Whereas, subassembly_widget widget --thingamagig ----whatchamacallit, would limit how often widget...

    Save in NX5 without generate preview image.

    Is there a way to disable the generation of a preview image upon saving an assembly? It takes several seconds every time I do a save. I may wish to invoke it later after the assembly is developed, so that others can benefit from a good preview, but for now I can do without. Regards, Bob
