When I open the CAD Configuration Manager as administrator, I see that Solidworks is set to Reader. I switch it to Workbench Associative Interface and go next -&gt; configure.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/06-05-2023-1683395170-mceclip0.png\"><\/p>\n<p>It says it&#8217;s configured and I&#8217;m ready to go. However, when I import Solidworks geometry and open it in Mechanical, I can&#8217;t see the parameters, even those with DS or ANS prefix. When I open the CCM again, it&#8217;s back to Reader, and not Associative Interface like I configured it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/06-05-2023-1683395311-mceclip1.png\"><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve tried reconfiguring it for like 10 times, but it will still be switched back to reader when opening it again.
