Pack and Go Overview
Gathers all related files for a model design (parts, assemblies, drawings, references, design tables, Design Binder content, decals, appearances, and scenes, and SolidWorks Simulation results) into a folder or zip file.
To access Pack and Go:

Parent parts of derived and mirrored parts
