Hello everybody!
When I open an assembly - every time all the parts are also open. If I close the assembly - freecad asks me to close every part. How these things are working: can I for example open only the assembly and open only the necessary part when I need?
But also I can't understand why some parts or sub-assemblies are not active sometimes and I need to reload them?
Thanks!

Re: Asm4: how part files loading, when an assembly is opened?
There is an option in the Preferences (General > Document) called "Disable partial loading of externally linked objects ", you can try to play with that.

Thanks, @Zolko!
Yes, when I changed the option you suggested - every part becomes active after loading the main assembly.
Do you plan to make some option like hidden loading or something similar? Because when an assembly has more then 20 unique parts for example - it becomes time consuming to close the main assembly and after to close every part of 20. My way today to close the main assembly - to close freecad totally and choose an option (to save or not) for all files. May be this could be option: when we close the main assembly - all the rest closes automatically...
Big thanks for answer & for you time!
