Greetings everyone,

I'm working on an articulated model created in SolidWorks for an animated presentation to show off Composer's capabilities to our engineering team. The problem is that when I export the model as an .smg, all articulated connections between the parts are removed and I have to go through and manually set all the parent/child kinematic links (which is a major P.I.T.A. as I'm sure you can imagine).

Is there a way to import/export the model so that associations between parts are maintained for kinematic purposes in Composer?

For the record, I'm working with both SolidWorks 2012 and Composer 2012. I'm a beginner at SW and relatively proficient with Composer.

Thanks in advance and in case there's no way to do this, I'll also ask for a simpler way to establish kinematic links in future editions of Composer. Maybe I'm crazy (probably) but there's got to be an easier way.

Cheers!
