SolidWorks Sub-Assembly Selection and Opening

SolidWorks Sub-Assembly Selection and Opening

Before creating new components in the context of an assembly, you can specify the default behavior for saving the new components either as separate external part files or as virtual components within the assembly file. See Saving New In-Context Components.

In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click either the top-level assembly icon or the icon for an existing sub-assembly, and select Insert New Sub-assembly.Click New Assembly (Assembly toolbar) or Insert, Component, New Assembly.

In the FeatureManager design tree, an empty subassembly is inserted as the last component of the selected assembly. Virtual subassemblies appear with a name in the form [Assem n ^ assembly_name ]. Externally saved subassemblies appear with a name in the form Assem n.

Add components to the sub-assembly:

To move a component that is already in the assembly into the sub-assembly, see Dragging Components to Edit the Assembly Structure or Assembly Structure Editing.

To add an existing, saved component to the sub-assembly, right-click the sub-assembly icon in the FeatureManager design tree, and select Edit Sub-assembly. Then insert components using any of the methods in Adding Components to an Assembly.

To insert a new component into a sub-assembly, you must edit the sub-assembly in its own window. You cannot insert a new component into a sub-assembly while you are editing the top-level assembly. Also, you cannot insert a new component while you are editing the sub-assembly in the context of a higher level assembly. Right-click the sub-assembly icon in the FeatureManager design tree, and select Open Assembly to open the sub-assembly in its own window. Then add a new component.

solve Reference Problem in SolidWorks

solve Reference Problem in SolidWorks

We are all designers, well some of us are CAD draftsmen, but whoever you are, you will need to keep iterations of your CAD Models. Often you might want to make a change to an assembly whilst still keeping the original copy as a reference. Other people/businesses have a file naming convention and when the project reaches the next stage they need to rename all their parts and assemblies to resemble the next stage of the project. For example, during the concept stage parts are called 'concept#.clientname.partname.sldprt' or something along those lines, and then when a prototype is made the file is called 'prototype#.clientname.partname.sldprt'. Also what if you want to send a client, a supplier, or a colleague a Solidworks assembly in a way that you have absolute confidence that when your associate opens the zip folder everything will work and be linked correctly?

There is a simply solution! Use the 'Pack and Go' feature! If you are familiar with Adobe Indesigns 'package' tool, you will notice it serves the exact same purpose as the 'Pack and Go' feature.

 

Have your assembly open that you want to duplicate or rename and go to 'file' and then 'pack and go'. The above dialog box will come up which lists a few options. You will see a main dialong box that lists all your parts and assemblies and shows the parent/child relationships. If you want export the drawing please ensure you tick the 'include drawings' box and likewise with simulation results. If you want to rename parts or replace certain name file conventions of your files, for example you want to replace 'concept1′ within your file names to 'prototype1′ click on the 'Select/Replace' button. At the bottom you can choose whether you want to save the assembly in a sub folder or as a zip folder for email purposes. And even further below you can add a prefix or suffix to your fole names as well if you want!

solidworks Change Drawing reference

solidworks Change Drawing reference

Models and Drawings generated through DriveWorks Administrator, User or Autopilot can execute a SolidWorks macro after all of the captured parameters have been driven. There are two methods available to allow this:
Run a SolidWorks macro on all models or drawings.
Run a SolidWorks macro on a single model or drawing.
The Macro
The macro must contain a module called DriveWorks, all code within a sub-routine called Main in this module will be executed by DriveWorks.
1. Run a SolidWorks macro on all models or drawings
The macro must be located in a sub-folder of the Group Content folder called Macros. They must have the names as listed below.
There are four types of macro that can be executed:
Model.swp - will be run on all models before any individual macros have been executed
ModelAfterMacro.swp - will be run on all models after any individual macros have been executed
Drawing.swp - will be run on all drawings before any individual macros have been executed
DrawingAfterMacro.swp - will be run on all drawings after any individual macros have been executed
Information on locating the Group Content Folder can be found in General Settings
The Macros that are to be used globally must be stored in a folder called "Macros", for example, if the Group content folder is found at "C:\DriveWorks\My Project\" then the global macros folder should be found at "C:\DriveWorks\My Project\Macros"
2. Run a SolidWorks macro on a single model or drawing
The macro must be located in the same location as the master model or drawing.
The name of the macro must be the same as the master model it is to be run on, as drawings can have the same name as a model a macro to be run on a drawing must have Draw appended to the file name.
For example the SolidWorks documents:
MyAssembly.sldasm will have a macro named MyAssembly.swp
MyPart.sldprt will have a macro named MyPart.swp
MyDrawing.slddrw will have a macro named MyDrawingDraw.swp
Example
This example requires a custom property in the SolidWorks model the macro will be run on called SaveLocation. This custom property can be captured and the model will be saved to the location, with the file name and extension driven into the custom property value.
For example if the custom property SaveLocation results in the value C:\DriveWorks\Images\Project1005.jpg the model will be saved to C:\DriveWorks\Images as a .jpg image file.
