SolidWorks Explorer References.
SolidWorks Explorer References.
(OP)
Does many people use SW Explorer? We here have been having problems when we use it. When we try and replce components in assys we get a "cannot replace components, will creat a circular reference error". Anyone know exactly what that means, and what causes it??? Thanx

RE: SolidWorks Explorer References.
A component cannot have an external reference to itself (a circular reference).
You cannot reference one instance of a part to create a feature on another instance of the same part, even if the instances are in different configurations.
You cannot replace a part with another part created by deriving the second part from the first. See Derive Component Part for more information.
Hope this of some help.

Jon
