In an assembly containing lightweight parts:
• You can share but not copy a lightweight part.
• You can copy the assembly as long as you share all lightweight parts in the assembly; for example, in a one-level copy (all children elements will be shared).
• An error message appears if you try to create a deep copy of an assembly (all components are copied), which has a lightweight part.
5. Type a Basename. Each part or assembly name is automatically generated by adding the endings .1, .2, .3, and so on to the base name.
