Controlling Assembly Family Table Instance Retrieval
Use the retrieve_instance_dependencies configuration option to determine what set of objects are loaded into session when retrieving Family Table instances. By default, the configuration option value is set to instance_req_generic. In this case family table instances are retrieved with any generic models that are required for regeneration. This option maintains instance stability while saving system resources and improving performance.
