Adding Components
from Internet Explorer
You can add a part from a hyperlink
to an assembly. You can also drag
and drop assemblies and .zip
files from hyperlinks, but they open in their own window rather than as
components of the assembly.
To add a part from a hyperlink in Internet
Explorer:
In Internet Explorer, navigate to a location that
contains hyperlinks to SolidWorks part files.
-
Drag a hyperlink from the Internet Explorer window.
A preview of the component
appears.
Drop it in the graphics area of the assembly window.
The Save As dialog box appears.
-
Browse to the folder where you want to save the part, enter a new
name if desired, and click Save.
The part document is saved to the specified folder.
If the part has multiple
configurations, the Select a configuration
dialog box appears. Select the configuration you want to insert, and click
OK. The part is added to the assembly.
