In this case, I browsed to the desktop and created a new folder to save all the components of this assembly. Next, browse to a location/directory where you want to save the files.Shift select or control select the components that you wish to save with the desired references.We will accomplish this in the following steps: Note: The references of the child components have not changed yet. *Remember to click the “References” button to open additional saving options. Also, notice the references are the same as “Save As”. If you are going to make changes to a model, but are unsure if the rebuild will be as desired, then Save as Copy, so you have a backup (a snapshot) just in case. Think of this as a precautionary measure when modeling. To edit the copied version, you must browse to the file, open, and then edit. However, the save is completed in the background and the “copied file” does not auto-open in SOLIDWORKS. Note: When Save as Copy is checked, an identical copy is made and saved to the specified directory. Also notice that the newly named “Save As” file is active/open in SOLIDWORKS. All child components and subassemblies in “Save As (new name)" are still linked to the original “universal joint”. Note that only the top-level component directory has changed. (Think of saving an item in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, etc.) Before you can proceed with any other save technique, the files must first be created and saved in some directory CTRL+S is the hotkey for saving files.
File Saveįile Save is a standard save command as seen in any other program. However, not saving correctly (not understanding the saving method) can create adverse consequences. Each technique is different, but all techniques can be useful at some point in time. It is up to the user to decide what kind of save is required to accomplish the end goal. This article will show you the different techniques to save documents in SOLIDWORKS. If there isn’t a PDM system in place that safely stores previous versions, another alternative technique is to use the File Save, Save As, Save As Copy, Save As Copy with References, and Pack and Go options in SOLIDWORKS (keep in mind that a PDM system always trumps this method). Or, on the other hand, make very subtle changes, in an existing assembly with a different name. SOLIDWORKSusers often want to experiment with a part they are working on, but want to do it ‘safely’ as to not adversely change what they have already done.
