The SOLIDWORKS Defeature tool was explicitly designed for removing intellectual property of parts and assemblies. Use Defeature to Remove Intellectual Property However, FeatureWorks will only recognize Extrudes, Drafts, Revolves, Holes, Fillets/Chamfers, Ribs, Base flanges, Hems, Edge Flanges, and Sketched Bends. FeatureWorks can be run on the imported part files to build a Feature Tree. These file types will be brought into SOLIDWORKS as imported solids.To do this, go to File > Save as, then change the Save as type to one of these universal file types.Doing this will strip the model of all SOLIDWORKS features.

The recipient of this model will not be able to use FeatureWorks to build a Feature Tree from the surfaces.Īn assembly or part can be saved as an IGES, STEP, or PARASOLID.

A part will be saved in the location of your choosing, which will be comprised of outer surfaces only. Under Geometry to save, select Exterior faces, then click Save.

To do this go to File > Save As, then change the Save as type to SOLIDWORKS Part (*.prt *.sldprt).

When saving an assembly as a part, you can direct SOLIDWORKS to save only exterior faces. If you need to protect intellectual property of an assembly model, saving it as a part is one of the easiest ways to do this.

In this article, we'll explore the few options available to remove intellectual property from SOLIDWORKS files. When sharing SOLIDWORKS models externally, it’s often important to keep your design confidential to protect your intellectual property.
