DBW Feature Manager options

optOFFKeep DBWorks Feature Manager synchronized with selections

If checked, maintains synchronization between DBWorks Feature Manager and SolidWorks when a selection is done in an assembly.

Please consider that this synchronization forces DBWorks to query the database at every selection

This option must be left unchecked if the dynamic selection option is set in the SolidWorks Feature Manager.

The synchronization of the DBWorks Feature Manager is currently limited to only 1st level components, but supports the Base Parts selection
