Face and Edge Identifiers During Import

When you import CAD files from other platforms, SOLIDWORKS now keeps face and edge identifiers (IDs) consistent through the entire release cycle. This improvement helps maintain stable references and ensures that downstream features remain valid, even when you reimport updated versions of the same file.

This update applies to imported files from:

·         Autodesk® Inventor®

·         CATIA® V5

·         PTC Creo®

·         SLDXML

·         Solid Edge®

·         Unigraphics®/NX™

During the import process, SOLIDWORKS reads the face and edge IDs from the source CAD file and uses them when creating new SOLIDWORKS features. If the source file is later updated and reimported, SOLIDWORKS reuses the same identifiers, so all downstream features regenerate correctly.

This functionality reduces feature loss or rebuild errors that could occur when external geometry changes. The stable identifiers are maintained throughout the current full release cycle (for example, SOLIDWORKS 2025).


Benefit:
You can now work confidently with imported CAD models, knowing that changes or updates to the source file will not break related SOLIDWORKS features — improving reliability and reducing time spent fixing rebuild errors.

This enhancement makes working with multi-CAD data smoother and ensures better consistency when managing imported designs across software versions.

SOLIDWOKRS TECH TIP - SOLIDWORKS PROPERTY TAB BUILDER

-
Image
The Property Tab Builder is a stand-alone utility that you use to create a customized interface for entering properties into SOLIDWORKS files. Traditionally, designer's use to modify the drawing template to insert custom property such as Description, Part No, Material, it’s a manual method. so, designers have to modify the custom property or metadata on each time, simultaneously BOM creation is also manual which increases a run time and errors in BOM table. It's also delayed the release of entire project. Three ways to create a customized interface for property template. In the SOLIDWORKS software, on the Custom Properties tab in the Task Pane, click Create now. In the SOLIDWORKS software, on the SOLIDWORKS Resources tab of the Task Pane, click Property Tab Builder From the Windows Start menu, click All Programs > SOLIDWORKS version > SOLIDWORKS Tools > Property Tab Builder version. To create the property tab, you will need to first create a new fil...

Confused With Wire/Cable Harnessing? - Harnessing Technology By SolidWorks Electrical

-
Image
SolidWorks Electrical is an intuitive and powerful tool which takes care of wire and cable harness design and create the flattened view with automatic updated BOM/Cut. Engineers need to put more thought into thinks like wire length, bending radius and routing. As wiring harness become increasingly complex and an important part of design we are in need of a powerful tool to ease our design process, this is where SolidWorks Electrical comes into play. Today in Automotive sector there are many more computers and Electronic Control Units used in vehicles today. These ECU are used to control the transmission, and other major devices of the vehicle and they have to be connected via wire harness in order for the system to work What is Wire Harness? The wire harness is compactly bundled wire which plays as the conduit for transmission of control and power signals acting as the “Central Nervous System of a vehicle”. When designing a new product, engineers focus mainly on f...
