Importing a manufacturer part into SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic was once a tedious process that left a lot of disconnects in manufacturer part information if not set up correctly. SOLIDWORKS Electrical always has great new enhancements with each version of the software, but this time SOLIDWORKS has snuck in an amazing, timesaving feature into Electrical Schematic 2024 SP2. Join Alaa Hosn, TriMech Electrical specialist, as he discusses the new feature of importing manufacturer parts into Electrical which is covered in the 2024 What’s New guide for SOLIDWORKS Electrical.

Alaa will show the difference in how manufacturer parts were imported previously and the main benefits of the new enhancement. This includes going through the process of importing manufacturer part information using a pre-defined Excel template created in Electrical Schematic 2D. Importing manufacturer parts through the Excel template created will help users assign classifications, circuit and terminal data, and more easily manage properties.

•Key Takeaways:

1. Pull in information from an Excel sheet created through Electrical Schematic

2. Classify manufacturer parts when importing

3. Assign circuit and terminal data upon imports

4. Easier than ever to import properties of manufacturer parts
