To modify an existing part:

·                Make the part (gear, sprocket, etc) the active document in SolidWorks.

·                From the main GearTrax menu select the Tools option.

·                Select the Link to Active Part option.

·                The design information of the part is loaded into GearTrax.

·                Make the necessary changes to the GearTrax forms.

·                Modify the part by selecting Update Active Part in the GearTrax tools menu.

·                The part may also be recreated as a new part by selecting the Finish Button.

·                Changes made to the part in this fashion will require the least amount of editing to the assembly mates.

·                If manual changes have been made to the part prior to this, the results may be unpredictable.

Tip: For best results, make any manual modifications to the part by adding new features and leaving the base features unaltered.
