I've been working with 2020 and I cannot get featureworks to even exist, let alone to actually do its job and I just don't understand it. I've wasted countless hours having to do everything and re-do everything manually. At most there's a featureworks option in the right click menu, but all it has is "options". Other than that, I have never had it ask me to run it on a new part or anything like that. I also went into the settings and enabled it like someone said on another video I watched... so I'm really not sure what to do. I really need it, but I just can't get it to run. Ever. (Several projects now from SLT, 3M, STEP and other formats, but not once has featureworks ever popped up or did anything at all).
Hi Sean, it could be due to the '3D Interconnect' option being turned on. You can find this setting inside the Import area of your SOLIDWORKS System Options. 3D Interconnect effectively allows you to open parts in SOLIDWORKS without converting them from their native format and can be very useful when working between CAD systems. However it isn't always what you want. If you'd like to learn more about it then this 6 minute video should help - ruclips.net/video/AfhSo0Gtc6k/видео.html

did you find a solution?
Amazing
is there a setting somewhere which prevents featureworks from initializing? I can't seem to get it working

In short: Right click on the part select "Break link"
@@TriMechGroup that did the trick
@@iBlue0riginal break link didn't allow featureworks to initialize
peca simples é mais facil, item complexo é dificil
