Opening Solidworks Assembly

lulumara · 7th Nov 2009, 05:03 am

Hi I was opening Assembly but keeps looking around or not finding the parts such as bolts and washer and parts in the right folder but as I know I didn't move any parts of the drawing it was only one files or folder?? So I can't even opening it , Do I missed something how to open the files without Solidworks keep on looking where the files is?

when it is looking for the folder with the bolts and washers are you pointing to the correct folder? if they are in there then I would guess it would insert them into the assembly?

When I made the assembly , I used the library for the bolts and washer , I just insert it. But when I open the assembly it was looking for the parts(bolts and washer). Then a dialog box open as solidworks should look for the bolts and washer but after clicking ok it will assume with different bolts and washer kinda big though? It does that evertime I open an assembly?

Where did it save your hardware in relation to your project? Do you have a folder for hardware?
