Make From

From relationship to a physical product or its
subtypes.
Benefits:
You can review the materials assigned to a SOLIDWORKS product and if the materials
are not assigned, assign them before releasing the document.
The Make From
tab shows the name and quantity of objects needed to
make the physical product. For an object when you select a 3D part, other physical
products, raw materials, and their sub-types using the Make From
option, a make from relationship is established between the two. This relationship is
visible in the Relations
tab of the
Information panel.
To access Make From
, from the View tab of action bar, click
Display Side Panel. The Make From
tab displays the details of the object that is added
as a material from which the object is made. Using the Make From
command on this tab, you can link the objects.
