I went to use the defeature tool and it's greyed out. Neither SW, Google or this forums search bring any useful information on Defeature. Any suggestions?
Trying to work with an assembly with 2200 parts and it's nearly impossible with this program. Trying to setup a dumbed down version to reference in another assembly and hitting the usual results. Saving as a part file with exterior components gives me a 350MB file which is unacceptable. Save-as part with exterior faces gives me something that looks like a picasso.
Welcome to the forum!
Am I correct to assume that you have perused the SW Help file on the Defeature tool?
What kind of parts are you working with in your assembly? Solid bodies, molds, surfaces, sheetmetal, weldments, etc.?
I've tried with solid body, multibody, sheet metal, surface parts and an assembly of those, but was unable to have the Defeature tool greyed-out.
What version of SW do you have?
Can you post a screen shot of the problem?
