bro just thank you so much you have juste saved all my work, it is still available for 2024 to 2023 !!

[@RenderLover]

yes"

[@dougberrett8094]

Using the parasolid model is very useful for what you describe. I often use it to simplify a SolidWorks part file. Sometimes, especially if you have a plurality of configurations, SW will start to fail at rebuild. I frequently save each configuration as a separate parasolid file. This is especially helpful if your part consists of a number of stages reached by subtracting one part from another with the combine function. It also frees you from the necessity of using Pack and Go if you need to send files to someone else. All the data is in the one file.

[@RenderLover]

Yes" thank you for sharing your experience with us.

the 'recognise features' option in the 'insert' dropdown menu is greyed out for me, i have enabled Feature Works in the 'Add-ins' menu but it is still grey

[@RenderLover]

maybe the part is not from solidworks. I mean the model you import is from another cad software. That's why it’s grey🥲

@@faharrizki7337 well if you take a step file (say created in sw 18) then on future version (sw 22) than it will recognise the feature history.
