Drive a part or assembly design using a layout. In an assembly, create an assembly layout sketch to verify that your components are positioned properly. Add parts to an assembly. Create a new assembly from an existing part or assembly, then add components to the assembly. You can also...
When you make changes to the subassembly and again save it as a multibody part, you can replace the old multibody part with the new one, without having to recreate the mates. Only the active configuration of the assembly is saved in the multibody part. Configuration-specific properties from ...

Check out the example in the video below—it’s a bit old, but it’s still great for showing what a large project looks like. Notice how the user can easily navigate the viewport and part model through the large assembly. Rendering a project of this size might take around 5-10 minutes...

Typical questions that will be answered using this study type are: Legs of my vessel are strong enough not to fail in yielding; but are they strong enough not to collapse due to loss of stability? Can my design be modified to ensure stability of the thin components in my assembly?
Move files to another location while maintaining references Replace a part or assembly document while maintaining references Perform a Pack & GoAlthough PDM is a great tool to help manage and organize data, users can sometimes get by in other ways. In this case, SOLIDWORKS File Explorer is ...
Double-click on a cell under ‘New Filename’ column to change individual filenames If there is a consistent naming convention, such as a project number, the Select/Replace option allows you to search and replace text Toolbox components are stored in a standardized location. The default is ...
I am trying to import a complex Solidworks CAD assembly into Simscape Multibody using the Link addon. The CAD model contains several Solidworks weldments (a single part file containing several bodies comprising the welded pieces) in addition to other Solidworks parts and subassemblies. ...
