Data File

SOLIDWORKS Electrical lets you manage any file type (such as PDF or Excel files). The only restriction is that you need to have a program installed that can open the file type. SOLIDWORKS Electrical automatically uses Windows associations to open these files.

To access the Data Files, do one of the following:
  • Click Electrical project > New > Data files .
  • Right-click a book or a folder and click New > Data files .

SOLIDWORKS Electrical makes a copy of the original file and places it in the electrical project directory. The content of this file is included when you archive the electrical project.

When the data file is added to the electrical project, double-click to open it with the associated application.
