SOLIDWORKS 3D parts folder |
Click [...] and select the
directories that contain the SOLIDWORKS files. |
Copy 3D parts to project |
When this option is
active, all 3D models (those within SOLIDWORKS Electrical
and those downloaded) are automatically copied to the
electrical project directory. |
Rename components in component tree |
When
this option is selected, SOLIDWORKS components are renamed
according to the mark of the Electrical component associated
with them. This
option does not rename the file name on the disk. It
renames the component in the SOLIDWORKS FeatureManager
design
tree.
The new SOLIDWORKS Component name
uses
this
format:
Component Mark | Object IDFor example, a SOLIDWORKS
component
might be renamed to X1|910, where X1 represents the
component mark and
910
is the object ID of the SOLIDWORKS Electrical
manufacturer ID in the SQL database.
To ensure this option
functions correctly,
verify
the following prerequisites:
- In , make sure the
“Update component names when
documents are
replaced”
option is
cleared.
- In , ensure the “Allow component
files to be renamed from Feature Manager
tree” option is checked.

Remove temporary routing files |
During
the routing of wires and cables, SOLIDWORKS Electrical
creates temporary
.xml
files, such as
CableLibrary.xml
and
ComponentLibrary.xml
to store routing information. These files are saved in the
XMLFromTo
folder
within the electrical project directory. When selected, this
option automatically deletes these temporary files after the
routing process is completed. |
Exclude linked SOLIDWORKS assembly shortcut while
duplicating a project |
Removes the link of the
SOLIDWORKS assembly in a duplicated project to its original
path. Clear the option to retain the link to the original
path. |
Update configuration properties during part/assembly
insertion and association |
When associating an
electrical part with a 3D model, SOLIDWORKS Electrical
automatically adds metadata to the configuration properties
of the model.
You
do not have the option to select which metadata is added.
This setting ensures that the configuration properties of
the 3D model are updated with relevant information from the
electrical part association. |
Reconnect sketch route automatically after moving a 3D
part (may impact performance) |
SOLIDWORKS
Electrical automatically reconnects the sketch route to the
corresponding 3D part after the part has been moved to a new
location. While this ensures that the sketch route remains
properly aligned with the 3D model, keeping this option
checked may impact performance, especially with large or
complex assemblies. |
