SOLIDWORKS Entity	DATAKIT Class	Remarks
Plane	Dtk_Body containing Dtk_PlaneSurface	• All have Dtk_Info::GetInfiniteGeometryFlag • Front, Top and Right planes have Dtk_Info::GetMandatoryFlag
Axis	Dtk_Body containing Dtk_Line	All have Dtk_Info::GetInfiniteGeometryFlag

Coordinate System	Dtk_AxisSystem
Origin	Dtk_Body containing Dtk_Point	Origin have Dtk_Info::GetMandatoryFlag

SOLIDWORKS Entity	DATAKIT Class	Remarks
Assembly	Dtk_Component	Can be activated or not : Dtk_Info::GetActivationFlag()
Assembly Feature	A set of Dtk_Body with "Dtk_BodyAttachment" attribute	Replace original body into original part Note : All bodies will have the same name. "Dtk_BodyAttachment" attribute allow to distinguish each body
Virtual Component	Dtk_Component	Extract file on disk
Configuration	Dtk_Component as a CatalogueType	List of VirtualComponent for each configuration

SOLIDWORKS configurations need to be saved to be handled by Datakit reader : How to save all SOLIDWORKS configuration

SOLIDWORKS Entity	DATAKIT Class	Remarks
Appearance	Dtk_ColorId or Dtk_Render into Dtk_Info	• Use Dtk_API::AddSearchPathForAssembly to add path of texture picture ("C:\Program Files\SolidWorks Corp\SolidWorks\data\" added by default). • From version 2014.3, we put appearances on Dtk_Component if Solidworks does. They no longer overwritten on the faces. • When there is a texture on Solidworks we put a Dtk_Render AND a Dtk_ColorId in the Datakit structure. The Dtk_ColorId is the main color of the texture.
Visibility	BlankedStatus into Dtk_Info
