Can I use the regular NI SoftMotion shipping examples with SolidWorks?
Yes. There are two ways to do it. 1. Adding a shipping example VI to an existing project: You can open any of the shipping examples and copy the VIs into a project you have set up to target a SolidWorks assembly. For example, you could open the Coordinate Straight Line Move example project and copy the Coordinate Straight Line Move.vi into the project you are using for digital prototyping with SolidWorks. 2. Changing a shipping example project to link to SolidWorks: Right-click My Computer to add a SolidWorks assembly to the project. Then click on the motion axis and select Bind to Different Resource to change the binding from a Simulated Axis to a SolidWorks motor. Finally, hold down shift or control to select all of the motion items in the project (including My Computer) and then right-click and Deploy. Normally, since this is your first deployment it will start the SolidWorks simulation running. In this case, you are ready to run the LabVIEW shipping example VI. If not, right-click
