Models

With CircuitWorks, you can build SOLIDWORKS models from circuit boards and their components, showing outlines, keep-outs regions, annotations, and other features in the assembly. You can also import models from SOLIDWORKS.

  • Importing SOLIDWORKS Models

    You can import SOLIDWORKS model into CircuitWorks to take advantage of specialized printed circuit board functionality. You can import models that originated in CircuitWorks or models that were created in SOLIDWORKS.

  • Building Component Models

    You can build a SOLIDWORKS part model for an individual component. CircuitWorks stores component models in the Component Library.

  • Building SOLIDWORKS Assemblies from ECAD Files

    You can build a SOLIDWORKS assembly that represents the board, components, and other features in your ECAD data.

  • Updating Assemblies

    You can update an assembly that is open in SOLIDWORKS to reflect minor changes from CircuitWorks. Updating an assembly is faster than rebuilding and retains SOLIDWORKS changes such as new mates.

  • Update of Existing CircuitWorks Boards

    CircuitWorks evaluates changes you make to boards and determines whether to create a new PCB (Printed Circuit Board) or update the existing PCB.
