3 different Workflows
1. Direct insert
• Allows mating into a SW assembly
• Can design around the 3rd party file
• Update geometry by overwriting source 3rd party file
2. Open as a Base/Derived file
• Add SW features to 3rd party file (Cuts, extrudes, library features etc.)
• Update geometry by overwriting source 3rd party file
3. Break link
• Turns 3rd party file into imported solid (Cannot be undone)
• Recognise features using FeatureWorks
• Edit using SW Direct Editing
