Consider the following when deleting SOLIDWORKS configurations saved in
the 3DEXPERIENCE
platform:
Deleting Physical Products
When you delete physical products in SOLIDWORKS, they are also deleted
from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. You can delete products not
referenced in any assembly by checking and removing their references using the
Relations app in a top-down approach.
Deleting SOLIDWORKS CAD Families
You can delete a CAD Family from
the
Collaborative
Lifecycle or Bookmark Editor. When you delete a CAD Family, all the corresponding
physical products are also deleted. To delete a CAD family, ensure that the physical
products associated with it are not referenced in any assembly.
Deleting Configurations
When you delete configurations, the software
guides
you on what to do. In offline mode, if a configuration has a reference,
you
can
save
changes by creating a new revision or breaking the
reference.
For configurations linked to a physical product on the
3DEXPERIENCE platform:
- If there are no references, the configuration is
deleted.
- If there are references to other components, use the
Relations app to edit
them.
