SolidMap provides new and innovative ways to view the interdependencies that are created between features, parts, and files within SolidWorks.

Visualization of the feature, part, and file interdependencies dramatically reduces the time required to understand how a model is built which, in turn, enables users to much more efficiently edit models and completely eliminates the need for users to rebuild models prior to being able to edit them.

There are five types of relationships that are read and displayed by SolidMap. SolidMap reads and displays relationships between:

SolidWorks files that reference each other
SolidMap enables users to view an assembly model in the context of an interactive block diagram. The user can view “where used” and “reference” relationships that already exist between parts and subassemblies within an assembly file.

Assembly components (mate relationships)
SolidMap enables users to view mates between components in an assembly through a unique block diagram.

Part features (Parent/Child relationships)
SolidMap enables users to view existing parent/child relationships that exist within SolidWorks part and assembly files in the context of a block diagram.

Feature detail dependencies
SolidMap enables users to view and understand existing dependencies between features and/or sketches within a part through a unique block diagram.

External References
SolidMap enables users to visualize external references that exist in the context of an assembly. In addition, SolidMap will identify and display any circular references that exist within these external references.
