How do you configure SOLIDWORKS files and update the assemblies and drawings that reference them?


In Integration, simply :

  • Create an action
  • Add a condition - "If the assembly contains a particular component or a component included in a folder" with the folder path of the files to be declined as the location.
  • Add an assembly operation - "Decline configurations and replace components" with the new declined component directory as the declined component directory and the original library component directory as the location of the files to be replaced.


To process drawings, repeat these steps with a drawing operation (files already declined will just be replaced in the corresponding drawings).


You can download files used for this example (Version SOLIDWORKS 2020) and an example file of an Integration action (Version Integration 2020).
