Managing Files in SOLIDWORKS
If you’re not familiar with the proper procedures for moving, renaming, replacing, and performing common file management tasks, managing SOLIDWORKS files can be challenging. Most users learn about the relationships between part, assembly, and drawing files when they first begin using SOLIDWORKS. They also understand that assemblies and drawings have built-in pointers. These built-in pointers allow documents to find their relevant parts. When not found, assembly and drawing files become useless.
To avoid file management problems, SOLIDWORKS users need to preserve the integrity of the built-in pointers. Whether you’re renaming a file, copying a file, or creating a revision of a file, your assemblies and drawings must be able to find their correct parts by utilizing the correct methods.
