Assign Display States

When you import a SOLIDWORKS model that has multiple display states, the model's active display state is assigned to the physical product. When you insert a component into an assembly, the component uses the display state assigned to the physical product.

You can view the display states for a physical product on the ConfigurationManager: CAD Family tab.

The following table explains the behavior when you import a SOLIDWORKS model to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
Scenario Behavior
Import a part with one configuration Assigns the active display state to the Physical Product.
Import a part with multiple configurations

For linked display states, assigns the active display state linked to each configuration to the Physical Product or Representation.

For unlinked display states, assigns the active display state for each configuration to the Physical Product or Representation.

Import assembly with one or more configurations The behavior is similar to parts. For the referenced component's display states, assigns the display state referenced by the parent assembly to the Physical Product.
