When you
rebuild
a model that has frozen features with
out-of-date
external
references,
SOLIDWORKS
prompts
you to lock the
external
references.
You
can lock the external references or
manage
the external references as locked
for
the current session. SOLIDWORKS does not update
locked
external
references
during a rebuild. As a result,
the
model is not marked
out-of-date.
Previously,
the model
was
marked
out of date
because
the
external references
were
not updated.
To lock external references in frozen features during a rebuild:
- Open a model that has external references in a frozen
feature.
- Edit the feature referenced in the external reference.
- Rebuild the model.
A message opens prompting
you to lock the references.
- Choose an option:
- Lock the external
reference
The external references of
the frozen features are locked.
- Manage the external
references as locked for this session
The external references of the frozen features are managed as
locked only for this SOLIDWORKS session.
After the external references are locked, the rebuild
finishes and the model is not marked out-of-date.
