Open and solidworks file and embed childparts.

[RH_10122575]

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.

[remy]

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.

Had a look to this video from the brilliant Creo Parametric channel : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOqBdz6gSVg

where is goes thourgh the process from Import to Embedding.
One notable thing is that Embed is available when Sub-components are selected.
Can you confirm this is what you select in your blurred out screenshot ?

yes components selected. i have made a basic file in solidworks still same issue. Could you try and see if same issue please.

[remy]

Right.
I replicated the issue with Creo 11.0

the behavior is different than that off an assembly created in Creo from scratch.
File a case and if not me, our team will assist you.

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