CircuitWorks shows build progress in a pane at the bottom of the
CircuitWorks application.
CircuitWorks performs the following when building an assembly:
- Builds and saves models for any components not already in the Component
Library.
- Models outlines or keep-out models required in the assembly if
you enable
the option to build these items as component models rather than board
features.
- Builds a model for the board.
By default, CircuitWorks
saves the part representing the board as boardname.sldprt in the Outlines folder, where boardname is the name of the board in the ECAD data file. The
assembly is named boardname.sldasm, but is not saved automatically. You can
configure how CircuitWorks names models and where they are saved.
- Builds an assembly and insert all the outlines and components in the
correct positions.
The
SOLIDWORKS icon in the Windows task bar
indicates
the progress of the build with a green
fill.
To save the progress messages to a text file for easier review,
