Stop Losing Time to Broken File Links
If you’ve ever opened an assembly only to be met with missing references, broken links, or files pointing to the wrong location — you’re not alone.
In this SOLIDWORKS Power Hour, we’ll uncover how file relationships truly work, from in-context parts to derived models and drawings. You’ll learn how to confidently manage references so you can prevent common errors, fix issues faster, and spend more time designing — not troubleshooting.
