Im using SW 2022 and recently needed to import a Step file with 100's of Solid Bodies and Surface Bodies. I needed this to then model my new assembly around it and this new assy was flexible with moving parts. SW now gives you two ways to import step files, traditional and 3D Connect. I tried both ways in order to try and use the imported bodies with my new assy but got rather confused in the process. I needed to modify some of the bodies from the step file but it seemed that Featureworks wouldn't work. It was greyed out sometimes or in other situations it said I had overlapping solid bodies and wouldn't work. If I suppressed bodies Featureworks says You have suppressed components and thus does not work.I assume there are many times you might need to import a step file made with many parts, put them in a SW assy and if necessary modify the part using SW features that have been created with Featureworks. I can't find a demo of this workflow anywhere. Am I missing something????
@@meelhouse7924 Its difficult. The original part can be imported but it had so many bodies it became resource hungry and so wasn't really useable. As I recall I used the STEP part I imported as a sudo template and its overall dimensions to remodel the part I needed in a much simpler form. Thus I had a SW Part which I could use in my Assy and I just left the original imported file there for future ref but suppressed it.
yea same for me. After some trys. U need to open other part file that u saved before as a part file . and then isolate the part than click on the body part on the list and insert in a new part.
Thank you! Ive been struggling with this. Glad I found this video!
Thanks! Great pace and video!
You're a life saver!

Did you ever find a solution to your problem?

Nice
Very helpful. Thank you!
Its tough to same the step assembly as a part if it’s too large.
Thanks bro !
Thanks man...
Dear sir small dout sir single part plat platen not idia sir assembly part please
or just click and drag over all the parts you want and save time
I haven't tried that, but I will. Thanks
Sir, is there a tutorial on how to draw a unit like the one in the video?
No!

hi i am not getting that option
Same to me, do u hv any option?
yea same for me. After some trys. U need to open other part file that u saved before as a part file . and then isolate the part than click on the body part on the list and insert in a new part.
