Hi all
Here is my question, I have a part that can be used in several assemblies, how can I easily find the assemblies in which this famous part is used. FYI I tested with solidworks explorer, I click on my assembly and then I go to the "used in" tab but it takes a huge time.
Hello, without pdm I know that there is customtools that does this http://customtools.info/fr/.
May there be strength with you.
Yes I forgot to specify that I had no PDM, thanks for the OBI WAN link on the other hand I'm looking for a small free software, I don't understand why solidworks didn't develop this function of "used in" ...
of Memoir CustomTools at the time was provided to us for free (for me I am under maintenance with cadware).
but now we don't use it anymore.
may the force be with you.
Hello
In myCADtools, there is the WhereUsed tool that does this.

Hi @ vspemens
Apart from going through Exell I don't see too much
If you have your nomenclature on Excel (or copy of it)
It's easy to search for a ref on x sheet

Hello.
By following the attached link you will be able to download a utility that I am developing that could help you.
Hello
As mentioned, there is solidworks explorer, and it works but it's long... see very, very long
Kind regards
Sandrine
First of all , thank you all for your answers.
@Mick.Cordero: For "whereused" I find that it is long enough to look up the use cases
@Joel.condevaux: I'll try it and tell you what it is
Unfortunately the search for use cases can only be long (especially on a large database): you have to open almost every file you encounter (prt, asm, drw) to check which references are called and if there is the requested reference.
An improvement of SW Explorer would indeed be to be able to limit the type of search (asm only).
Depending on the organization of your file database, you have to play around with the options and limit the search area.
Yes, SolidWorks Explorer is the walkthrough solution.
Apart from that, I don't see in a simple way, without a small program.
@ vspemens
If you have copies of your bills of materials on Excel
It's up to you to get all your nomenclatures
See this link which will allow you to find the duplicates on x Excel sheets

Searches with customtools are faster or even instant because it does the searches from a SQL database.

Hello
I brought a few new features and made the process more reliable.
To be able to use the preview, you need to copy the file "Bmpextract.swp" to the same folder as "Bibotac.exe".
