Hi, I'm using Creo 11. I wish to know if it is possible to directly open a solidworks sldasm file and use the inseparable assembly/embed function so that I can keep all the data/childparts so that when I upload to windchill I only have the one assembly.

According to this article https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS352914 it is supported.

Its says it is possible. But is not working. See process I follow and the issue where embed is greyed out.

right, so.
The SW import was successful and you need to embed some components (not all?) in an inseparable seembly.

In Data Exchange, you need to judge by the file so I recommend you get in touch with our Support Desk, file a case, attach your SW file, profile and template.

If you also have SolidWorks, I wouldn't even bother with Creo lol
