Can the SolidWorks model be encrypted?

SOLIDWORKS API/VBA Macros

Hey everyone,

how do we encrypt the model in SolidWorks? Do any of you have any good suggestions for the encryption method?

My usage scenario is that I have a batch of models along with my installation package, but the data has not been encrypted. How should I handle them?

There is no standard way of doing it. You could zip or encrypt your file and decrypt it before use, but your user can always save a copy of that model anyway after opening it.

The biggest question: Why would you encrypt them?
