How do you modify SOLIDWORKS file configurations and update the assemblies and drawings that reference them?
In Integration, all you need to do is:
- Create an action
- Add a condition—“If the assembly contains a specific component or a component included in a folder”—with the path to the folder containing the files to be derived as the location.
- Add an assembly operation—“Generate configurations and replace components”—with the new directory of generated components as the directory for generated components, and the original library component directory as the location for the files to be replaced.
To process the drawings, you must repeat these steps using a drawing operation (the files that have already been generated will simply be replaced in the corresponding drawings).
You can download the files used in this example (SOLIDWORKS 2020) as well as a sample file for an Integration action (Integration 2020).
Here is an animation showing the steps to follow:
