Automatically replacing a part in a SolidWorks assembly

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the automatic replacement of parts in a SolidWorks assembly based on specific end conditions and application requirements. Users express uncertainty about the feasibility of this process without detailed specifications. SolidWorks, a leading CAD software, may have limitations in automating part replacements without clear parameters. Further clarification on the requirements is essential for providing a definitive solution.

PREREQUISITES
  • SolidWorks 2023 interface and functionality

Your specification is rather terse -- my immediate conjecture is no -- perhaps if you provide more information you might get a more informed answer -- I don't know SolidWorks, but I know well what machines can and cannot do.
