Sharing Files Using Export as Package (2025 FD01)

3DEXPERIENCE users can use the Export as Package option in the Share dialog box to share assemblies saved on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. You can share the package with external teams who can modify the files in SOLIDWORKS. You can then merge the returned files back to the platform.

Benefits: The Export as Package option gathers all referenced files that the Pack and Go option may not include, such as drawings that are not in the cache.

To use the Export as Package option:

  1. In SOLIDWORKS, open an assembly that is saved on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
  2. Click File > Share.
  3. In the dialog box:
    1. Click Share File.
    2. Enter a File name and in File type, select SOLIDWORKS Assembly.
    3. Click Export as Package.
    4. Click Continue.

    The Export as Package command opens in the 3DEXPERIENCE tab of the Task Pane.

    For more information about this command, see Exporting and Importing SOLIDWORKS Data.

  4. Specify the options and click Export.

    The software exports the package with the .sldpkg extension.
