Hello,  
Is it possible to get CAD models of robots, that could be imported in SolidWorks and retain all joint dependencies (e.g. possibility to jog robot like in RobotStudio). These models are called assemblies (.sldasm file extension). The problem is that when you import CAD models downloaded from [abb.com](http://abb.com), all robot parts have to be assembled by hand and it’s not possible to move robot.
