Assembly Visualization provides different ways to display and sort an
assembly's components in a list and in the graphics area.
You can sort the list by one property at a time or create more complex
sorting scenarios involving several different properties. Basic calculated numerical
data such as component mass, density, and volume are available in the tool.
Additionally, you can create customized criteria which are dependent on several
numerical values. If you defined noncalculated properties such as Vendor or Status
in the component files, you can access those properties for modification and sorting.
Properties from SOLIDWORKS Sustainability
are also available.
In the graphics area, the software applies colors to the components based
on the value of the property you are sorting by. The colors help you to visualize the
relative value of the property for each component.
You can edit component materials and other non-numeric properties directly
from the list.
You can save the list information in a separate file such as a Microsoft®
Excel® spreadsheet or a text file.
