Solidworks Assemblies Leverage In Context References

Managing External References In Solidworks Assemblies Goengineer There are some special considerations when you save an assembly with in context features. parts that have features defined in the context of an assembly must maintain the association with the parent assembly in order to update correctly, both inside and outside of the assembly context. Use the reference manager in visual studio to add and manage references to components that you, microsoft, or another company developed.

Managing External References In Solidworks Assemblies Goengineer The external references dialog box lists all components or features in the part, subassembly, or assembly that contain external references. you can break, unlock, or lock individual references for features and sketches, sort references by status, and isolate selected components. An assembly gets designed in context. the part and assembly drawings then get moved to various places using operating system tools. when the assembly gets opened, it prompts to find the component parts, and all seems well. Learn how to create sketches in context in solidworks assemblies to aid in editing components. this will assist in speeding up the time it would take to figure out how and where to place. When i do a save as in the sw assembly, i get the following message: there are parts that have features defined in the context of directory to my assembly file if you select okay to continue this operation these features will not update in the context of the newly saved assembly.

Problem: "this part has features defined in the context of another assembly. . you can edit the part, but cannot create any external references to the components of the current assembly." 1) if you want to free the parts from old assy then go to individual parts & edit them to remove all the external reference ( to another assy). You create an external reference when one document is dependent on another document for its solution. if the referenced document changes, the dependent document changes also. in an assembly, you can create an in context feature on one component that references the geometry of another component. Basically, you connected a constraint in your part with a feature in another part assembly. while this is useful for designing (essential for a top down approach), it can lead to problems like the one you are describing. normally the procedure is to : remove the external reference. I have no idea how to identify and repair in context features created in another assembly. my first indication of a problem was from pack and go. note the last line in the file listing below: this assembly had been converted from sw premium 2014 sp5.0 to sw premium 2015 sp2.1 and then had its parts and assembly renamed in sw explorer 2015.

Saving without in context references breaks the in context links so the part with the assembly context won't update if the in context assembly parameters are changed, and vis a versa. typically, saving without is if you need to modify in context models without updates being propagated to the referenced files.
