In SOLIDWORKS Electrical, it is important to identify components with component marks. This mark is used to create relations to other representations of the device. When a symbol is added to a Schematic or Line Diagram, we can either define it as a component already defined in the project or create a new component with a new mark (identifier). In this article, we discuss the four ways a new symbol can get its mark.

In SOLIDWORKS Electrical, external documentation can be added to a project. It can be stored inside the project archive or added as a shortcut. Adding a data file will bring the file into the project, and no link will be created back to the original location. If the file gets updated, the update will not transfer to the file in the electrical project.
