Solidworks Routing

[christianroth]

So I gave Solidworks routing a try and I seem to be running into a problem.

When I create a new assembly, do I need to create a routing assembly or can I just create a normal assembly?

So then I dragged the SW example connectors into my assembly. At this point a window should open up and ask what I would like to call the routing assembly and what template I would like to use. (I have these options turned off in the options menu, so it should prompt me).

Anyway so now that the "Start Route" windows doesn't open I then try to right click on "CRoute1" point on the connector. I have it selected and then right click, but "Start Route" is not even listed.

Now I'm lost as the only way to create a Route is to import the data.

My guess, a routing assy.

A routing assembly should be created when you start the route. If the route already exists, you may have to use edit route instead.

Are you sure you have Routing turned on as a SW Addin? You might also check out the Yahoo group for piping,
