I am working on very big project where is a lot of changes. When I run my visual (after update source code) I can not work because VAssistX have to rebuild symbols database.
Is it possibility to rebuild symbols database from *.bat file? Is it any command line to do it?
VA Options -> Performance -> Parse all files when opening a project
turned On or Off? If this is turned on then VA should parse all of your code when you load the solution, so there should be no need to rebuild the symbol database.
I do not want to parse my code project when solution is loaded. I would like run some bat file (i.e. during night run VassistXParseAllFiles.bat) and have symbols database up-to-date.

Yes I have this options turned on. And after every running my visual I have to wait few minutes because VassistX reparse files.
VA can only rebuild its symbol database when the IDE is running. VA needs you to load the solution, so it knows what solution you are working on, and so that it can find the files in the solution in order to parse them.
If you want this to happen over night you could try deleting VA's symbol database and then running the IDE and loading your main solution. I do not know if this will work as expected or not, but it might.
The symbol database is stored under Windows 2000 and Windows XP in: C:\\Documents and Settings\\<USERNAME>\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\VisualAssist\ and under Windows Vista in: C:\\Users\\<USERNAME>\\AppData\\Local\\VisualAssist\
