Solidworks Assembly External Reference Best Practices To list the external references on a part or feature, right click the part or the feature or right click the update holder , and click external references. a component cannot have an external reference to itself (a circular reference). Moving components can have their external references locked, if they need to update their geometry they can be moved back to an original position and unlocked. always save assembly before creating external references. when assemblies are first created you may notice that the name comes up as assem1.sldasm.
Solidworks Assembly External Reference Best Practices In solidworks top down assembly modeling quick tip, we discuss the difference between bottom up and top down assemblies and demonstrate how to use top down assembly techniques to create a part with external references to another in the assembly. Check out the skeleton sketch part (ssp) method where basically everything references back to the ssp. i've been 20 years on solidworks and if you work in a team on shared assemblies then i would suggest that external references in all parts are avoided. Tutorial description:1 create references between parts in the assembly using external references.2 understand the difference between in context and out of. Best practice is to have a one to one (1:1) relationship between configurations of the assembly and the configurations of the part.

Best practice is to have a one to one (1:1) relationship between configurations of the assembly and the configurations of the part. The new parts i created are "fixed" and have external references to the base frame and each other. the serving shelf sub assembly is constrained with a lock mate while containing features with external references. If a part contains external references from a multiconfiguration assembly, best practice is to have a corresponding part configuration for each assembly configuration. with a multiple to one (n:1) relationship, only the most recently updated assembly configuration is up to date. When working with an assembly that utilizes the solidworks top down assembly design approach it is good practice to lock the external references for a design that is ready for release. this will help to ensure the design does not change unless the external references are unlocked first. Solidworks contains various performance options to handle large assemblies even faster. there is an option called verification on rebuild, with this option solidworks checks every new or modified feature against all existing faces.
