Assigning of SolidWorks Component IDs
When a Component ID is assigned during the first save to Workspace, the same Component ID is used for the same component in subsequent iterations. This provides greater consistency when assigning Component IDs.
When an assembly is edited, the Component ID remains the same as that of the existing component in the following scenarios:
• Adding a Component
• Removing a Component
• Changing the configuration of an existing component
• Replacing a SOLIDWORKS Toolbox part with a different size part
• Replacing an existing component with a new component
• Any other component editing action
