Operation possible on assemblies.

In an assembly, this operation creates a "mono-configuration" document for each configuration used. and replace the components in question in the assemblies.

The naming rule :

 

The operation does not open the documents in SOLIDWORKS unless the declinations do not exist beforehand.

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

Components belonging to a library folder (see Options) are not taken into account either.

Example :

Let's take the case of a "ASM1". It includes "Carre"and "Round"each used in different configurations1 hole"and "2 holes".

 

  • Step 1: I define the condition "If the assembly contains a particular component" in the specified folder "E:\...\RPE\BIB" containing components using multiple configurations.

 

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

 

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

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

 

A processing report can be displayed, specifying successful and unsuccessful operations.
