Operation possible on parts or assemblies.

This operation allows you to generate a new document for each configuration (for a part or an assembly).

We use the field concatenation tool to retrieve values from SOLIDWORKS variables, Windows, etc.


Select the destination directory by clicking on .

The names of the new files will be generated based on the option selected under " New Name."

The third piece of information is important in determining whether or not to remove inactive configurations from the newly generated document.


Example: All variations will be saved in the " D:\Samples myCADtools " directory. The generated name will consist of the file name followed by the configuration name. If the option is set to “Yes,” all inactive configurations will be removed from the new document (so in this case, there will be only one configuration). If the option is set to “No,” the generated document will still include all the initial configurations, and only the named configuration will be active.


 


If the destination directory is not specified, declinations will be saved in the directory of the document being processed.


This operation also processes drawing part numbers in the assembly part number update operation, along with the part configuration variations.
