Cadkey19 to SW2009

I have a assy. that I did years ago that I need to bring into SW2009 SP3, it imports ok but... it now is a assy. and has no mates.

What I can't figure out is how can I use Feature Works in a assy. without having to open each part (about 200) rename and then rebuild the assy. and try remember where they mate from 10 years ago from the ground up.

Is it even possible?

No. Featureworks will only work on a part file. What you could do is to FIX the parts in position but that won't let you edit very easily. If it's something you are going to use to change the design on you may want to look at remodeling up the parts. Featureworks comes up with strange ways of modeling and usually makes more work than modeling them up from scratch since it won't add dimensions to any of the sketches that get created.

  Thank you, I was afraid of that.
