Operation possible on assemblies.

This operation allows you to create a "single-configuration" document for each configuration used in an assembly and to replace the relevant components in the assemblies.

The naming convention:

 

This operation does not open the documents in SOLIDWORKS unless the variants do not already exist.

Components with the "IsFastener=1" property are not taken into account.

Components that are part of a library folder (see Options) are also ignored.

Example:

Let's consider the case of an " ASM1 " assembly. It consists of " Square " and " Round " components, each used in different configurations: " 1-hole " and " 2-hole."

 

  • Step 1: I define the condition "If the assembly contains a specific component" in the specified folder "E:\...\RPE\BIB," which contains components that use multiple configurations.

 

  • Step 2: I set up a task to save each component with the specified name. In this example, the files will be saved with the "Name" followed by the "Configuration Name."

 

Important: the directory defined in the condition must be identical to the location of the documents to be replaced.

As soon as the process is complete, I can see that the files have been successfully created and replaced in the assembly, while retaining all associated references and constraints.

 

A report on the processing performed can be displayed, specifying which operations were successful and which failed.
