3. How well does this work in SolidWorks?
1. Internal blocks.
2. Hmmm, I'm not really sure. From my experience when you delete the linked spreadsheet from the part, the dimensions stay. I think you should be fine if you send the generated frame without the parameters.
3. I'm not sure how you can convert this type of project into solidworks without losing the ability to edit the parameters. Can someone tell me how?
