SolidWorks settings to correctly push Metadata into Composer BOMs 2<\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
Fix it!<\/h2>\n
You know, they ought to fix this so Composer says “Hey! This CAD file has Envelopes or Lightweight files that will screw up your metadata import! Do you want to load resolved?”<\/em> I mean, they’ve gone to all the trouble of rebranding Composer for the nth time to “SOLIDWORKS Composer”. It would be nice if the\u00a0two programs\u00a0had more similarities and compatibilities. But I will admit exporting *.SMG files from SW is a nice integration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I spent way too long trying to figure out why my metadata changes to CAD files
