I wish to know if it is possible to directly open a solidworks sldasm file and use the inseparable assembly/embed function so that I can keep all the data/childparts so that when I upload to windchill I only have the one assembly.</P> Wed, 07 May 2025 07:19:15 GMT RH_10122575 2025-05-07T07:19:15Z Open and solidworks file and embed childparts. https://www.ptcusercommunity.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Open-and-solidworks-file-and-embed-childparts/m-p/1014341#M139647 <P>Hi, I'm using Creo 11.
