"Pourquoi vous ne devriez pas utiliser de configurations avec DriveWorks"
Issue 1
By adding configurations to your SolidWorks master model you are increasing the data stored within the file, resulting in the master assembly file getting VERY BIG, VERY QUICKLY! If you ever needed to send this to anyone, the massive file would be diffcult to move around.
DriveWorks Solution 1
DriveWorks takes a copy of your master models, the file size does not increase. As DriveWorks takes a copy of the files and works on those, the files can be easily transferred from machine to machine without having to worry about anyone else having a copy of your master data.
Issue 2
If you are working with your SolidWorks master models and all your automated design configurations are kept within one file - if anything happens to this file (e.g. it gets deleted or becomes corrupt during the creation of a new configuration) all your master model data could be lost.
DriveWorks Solution 2
DriveWorks does not do anything to your master models, other than take a copy of the files. This ensures you will never run the risk of corrupting or losing all of your master model data when creating new configurations.
Issue 3
Using configurations also limits the interaction you have with drawings.
DriveWorks Solution 3
As DriveWorks creates brand new files, it also can create brand new drawings that reference these new files, this ensures the correct models appear on the drawing. DriveWorks also gives you the tools and ability to have a high level of control of the final drawing sheet, by controlling elements such as: the scale of the drawing views, any annotations that appear on the drawing and also custom properties in the drawing.
Le but de DriveWorks est justement de dupliquer les fichiers à chaque excecution.
Ce que vous voulez faire il faut le faire dans SolidWorks directemetn avec une famille de pièce couplé au "Configuration Manager" (clic droit dans l'onglet configuration tout en haut de l'arbre).
C'est dommage, cela m'aurait permis de créer très rapidement toutes les pièces et les plans de celles-ci très rapidement.
Le principe de passer par le configuration manager est ce que je fais actuellement, mais j'ai vu que je pouvais encore augmenter la rapidité en utilisant DriveWorksXpress.
Le but pour moi de faire des configurations était de ne pas avoir à reprendre tous les modèles dès que l'un de ceux la doit changer.
Si jamais vous avez une quelconque idée de quelque chose melant DriveworksXpress et configuration, je suis preneur.
