@Marijn, I’ve not got the virtual component message, but I usually don’t keep my part ‘virtualized’ - the virtual parts are part of that assembly, stored inside, so to speak, and the y should go along with the assembly they are part of. It may be that it wasn’t rebuilt? but I’m guessing there.

thanks for inspiring them devon! I’m looking forward to when I do all the data management on one screen. I think SolidWorks Explorer has some things that could be integrated into regular use of documents. And even if you don’t have workgroup, there’s still alot of useful features to it. One thing I really, really, really wish it would do is a batch rename. we had to right a separate program for that.

Hi Josh-

Great post. Your tips are very useful.

Now, if I could only DELETE a Custom Property in SW Explorer like I used to in the old version…

See ya!

Any idea why solidworks explorer says that virtual components are missing but that get copied anyway if you ignore that…
