Activating SOLIDWORKS Routing

To begin, activate the SOLIDWORKS Routing add-in.

  1. Click Tools > Add-Ins.
  2. In the Active Add-ins column, select SOLIDWORKS Routing to activate it for this session.
    In addition, you can select it in the Start Up column to automatically activate Routing every time you start the SOLIDWORKS application. This is useful if you work with Routing often.
  3. Click OK.
    SOLIDWORKS Routing is added in.
    You can find additional information about SOLIDWORKS Routing in the SOLIDWORKS Connected Help. Click Help > Help. On the Contents tab, expand SOLIDWORKS Routing.

    After you add in SOLIDWORKS Routing, the software generates a default routing template, which uses the same settings as the standard assembly template, but also contains special routing-related model data. You cannot access the routing-related model data.
