Sometimes, import in Solidworks doesn't behave as expected. For example, this part, which after imported gives 3 bodies (named imported 1, 2, 3), cannot be recognized. Even if I run Import diagnostics and Check, nothing seems to be wrong. But when I attempt to use FeatureWorks, not the hole body is recognized, only a couple of features. Would you guys have any suggestions?
Hi Marco,
The step opens as an assembly, all a very long way from the origin. You can open the parts and run featureworks. However, with the sheetmetal part I wouldn't bother with feature works, you can simply convert to sheetmetal as per the attached file. Just for fun, I moved towards the origin also.
