Automate the conversion of imported part geometry into a SOLIDWORKS feature-based, parametric model. Open an imported data file in SOLIDWORKS. Use the Import Diagnostics tool to repair imported geometry. View the FeatureWorks options. Use the Automatic feature Recognition Mode. Map the features to the part model. Guide the Automatic Recognition Mode for the best results.
Control the conversion of imported part geometry into a SOLIDWORKS feature-based parametric model by converting specific features interactively. Interactively convert feature types. Convert features types that cannot be used with automated methods. Recognize multiple similar features at the same time. Re-recognize geometry and change it to a different type. Add patterns from the list of recognized features.
Use Volume features to recognize geometry that does not match any other feature type. The volume feature can be replaced with a standard SOLIDWORKS feature. Recognize volume features. Recognize boss and cut revolve features. Use the Up To Face option with cut extrudes. Replace volume features with standard cut features. Edit the mapped features.
Convert imported sheet metal part geometry into SOLIDWORKS feature-based, sheet metal, parametric models. Recognize common sheet metal features such as Base Flanges and Sketched Bends. Flatten the result to view the flat pattern. Use a hybrid approach combining the automatic and interactive methods.
Convert imported assembly and multibody geometry into SOLIDWORKS feature-based, parametric models. Recognize imported assembly geometry as multiple parts. Use Edit Feature to recognize only selected features from the part. Use child features to recognize multiple features with a single selection.
若零件邊線太接近，以致無法正確產生圓角時，利用個別實體本體通常有助於改善問題。 將特徵切割為個別的實體本體。 套用圓角至個別本體。 使用「結合」指令，重新將本體加在一起。 套用其他圓角至零件，以完成模型。
當模型的內部除料特徵是設計中最重要的一環時，方法之一是產生實體特徵來代表零件的負空間。 完成負空間後，便可使用「結合」指令，從另一個實體主體減去體積。 使用實體幾何代表多樣性的內部空間，來產生零件的負空間。 在幾何周圍產生個別的實體本體，作為多樣性的主要本體。 使用減除操作來結合零件中的實體本體。
在 Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional 範例測驗中，更新控制零件整體形狀和大小的參數。 手動編輯個別尺寸並整體變更變數值。 重新計算模型以確保所有特徵都正確更新。
