It is also possible to control dependencies directly from a file. As would the SOLIDWORKS function ''Search for references''. The difference of the utility ''.DependenciesThe reason for this is that the file is not open in SOLIDWORKS.

For this we use the tab ''.See the dependenciesYou can drag and drop SOLIDWORKS files to see their dependencies.

So that the window of the utility ''.DependenciesIf the '' icon does not disappear, press the.

 


  • Example 1:

We want to analyze the ''layout''.AssemblyBoard.SLDDRW''.


 


By pressing we visualize the dependencies of each file whether it is a drawing, an assembly or a part. We can thus control the location of each component. We can see here, after processing, that the new location has been taken into account.


 


By right-clicking on the drawing it is possible to ''.Copy the location of the selected file'' or of ''Copy the list'', in the paper press, of the identified dependencies. This last functionality is found in the SOLIDWORKS function ''.Search for references...The file must be opened in SOLIDWORKS in this function.


 


  • Example 2:

Optimization of the analysis of the not found dependencies. for that we uncheck the option :

 

Here we analyze the dependencies of the file "Lighter.sldasm".

All the references are well found.


 


Now we move the "PartsThis is a "container" containing all the parts contained in the assemblies.

If we run the dependency analysis again in the "See the dependencies"A message indicates that references have not been found and invites us to resolve this anomaly (here 23 unresolved references).


 

By spreading "YES"At the invitation all references will be solved.


 


We can see that "Dependencies"changed the path of the new directory".Parts"that had been moved.
