View Full Version : Importing Solidworks parts with configurations.

I get a lot of Solidworks models that have multiple configurations.
When I import one into Bobcad I have no opportunity to select the configuration I want to work with (or even know that it has multiple configs).
All the configurations are merged into one solid (very messy).

Luckily, this was obvious on the first multi-config model I was working with. If the configuration differences were small or not obvious, I would have had some dirty words to say in the not to distant future.:D

My workaround for now is to save them out of SW as a Parasolid in the configuration I want to work with.

Is there something in Bobcad that allows importing specific configurations?

Thanks,
moldmker

Had the same problems. There does not seem to be a workaround for this. It happens in other Cad systems too.
