Operation possible on drawings.

This operation enables :

• Decline a new document (layout) by configuration in a specified directory.
• Then replace the referenced documents with the new ''mono-configuration'' documents created by the '' operation.Create configuration variants and replace components''.

The naming rule :

The operation opens documents in SOLIDWORKS only when the required configuration variants do not already exist..

Example :

I complete the same example covered in chapter ''.Create configuration variants and replace componentsby adding the condition and operation to process the drawings. I add the drawings to be processed to the file selection.

These layouts are given explicit names (1-hole square, 2-hole square, etc.). However, the reference points to the "multi-configurations" file, and it is in the view properties that the configuration used is declared.

• Step 1: I define the condition "If the plan references 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 referenced documents.

As soon as processing is complete, I can see that the references now point to the "mono-configuration" files renamed with the renaming rule defined.

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