In this short video, you will discover how to make a Pack and Go of an assembly SOLIDWORKS. I often receive SOLIDWORKS assemblies through email. It struck me that most people only send the SOLIDWORKS Assembly file but are not aware that they also have to send the underlying SOLIDWORKS parts. As a result, the assembly cannot be opened.
So in this video, you will discover how to save your SOLIDWORKS assembly including all the underlying parts and sub-assemblies in one (Zip) folder. You will also learn how to include or exclude drawings, Toolbox components, suppressed components, decals, and appearances. You will also learn how to add a prefix or suffix to the part names of your assembly.
The Pack and Go feature can be found under File > Pack and Go.
In this example video, we will make a Pack and Go of an impressive Boeing 747-8 model.
Do you want to model this Boeing 747-8 yourself in SOLIDWORKS?

Can I specify a custom structure like
1. Only top level Assembly in the top folder.
2. All components (parts & sub-assemblies) in one sub-folder.
3. All drawings in another sub folder.
