Import Components (DriveWorks Documentation)

Import Components

The Import Components wizard enables you to import captured models and all captured parameters from one group, into the current group.

When opening a group created in an earlier version of DriveWorks you will be prompted to upgrade the group.

Selecting Yes will upgrade the group to the current version. This version cannot be opened in earlier versions of DriveWorks.

Selecting No will cancel the operation.

Importing components can be done from the following areas:

From the Model Rules task - See Model Rules .
From the SOLIDWORKS task pane - See Captured Models .
From the Data Management tool - See DriveWorks Tasks .

Components cannot be imported from the currently open group.

Please note the following behavior when importing component sets of the same name.

If the component being imported has the same name and location as a component in the open group, it will overwrite the existing component.
If the component being imported has the same name but different location as a component in the open group, it will be added as a new component.
