How do I create a LabVIEW project that connects to my SolidWorks assembly?
First, configure the motors in your SolidWorks motion analysis study for distance mode and confirm that the simulation is working correctly in SolidWorks. Now you can link to the assembly from LabVIEW and use NI SoftMotion function blocks to create motion profiles using any available move type. Complete the following steps to add a SolidWorks assembly to the LabVIEW Project: • With the SolidWorks assembly open, launch LabVIEW and select File»New Project to display the Project Explorer window. • Right-click My Computer and select Properties. Navigate to the Scan Engine tab and check the box for Start Scan Engine on Deploy. • Right-click My Computer and select New»SolidWorks Assembly from the shortcut menu to open the Import Axes from Assembly File dialog box. • Select the SolidWorks assembly to add to the LabVIEW project. If a SolidWorks assembly is currently open, the Import Axes from Assembly File dialog box contains the path of this assembly. Click Browse to select a different assemb
