Description
Access
Force referenced
documents to save to
current version
Include slices
For assemblies and drawings that are
not saved in the current version,
selecting this option saves all referenced
documents to the current version of
SOLIDWORKS when you save the
assembly or drawing. Referenced
documents are converted even if they
are not modified in the current session.
When cleared, only modified documents
are saved in the current version. Clear
the option to reduce save times or to
allow users with earlier versions of the
software to continue using the
referenced documents.
Includes slicing information for 3D
printing when you export to a .3mf file.
