It is also very important that this drive location not be in a Dropbox, Sync, or other cloud sharing folders, as these types of software and services do not have the capacity nor work with the SOLIDWORKS PDM database and can damage relationships and meta data between files.
For Attach type, choose who will have access to this Vault View. It is best to use the default "For all users on this computer" setting unless there is a need to have the Vault View only be accessible to a particular user such as if the computer is shared with other users.

I've tried using the LMNts script to control SolidWorks via Design Tables, but haven't been able to get the SolidWorks model to respond to changes in the table as Grasshopper updates it. By contrast, setting up an Excellink spreadsheet to drive dimensions in a SolidWorks model, then refreshing that spreadsheet with values from Grasshopper using "Excel Exporter", works like a charm!
Actually, it looks like you can bypass Excel altogether by creating a VB DotNet Script component in Grasshopper that interacts directly with SolidWorks. I've attached a simple example that adjusts a user-nominated dimension in SolidWorks via a Grasshopper slider (screenshot below).

To provide us with more tools to reverse engineer this part, I use a plugin that works natively inside SOLIDWORKS called Mesh2Surface. It has a lot of great Scan to CAD tools that work in synergy with the ones already available inside SOLIDWORKS.
Depending upon the part that needs to be made, whether it was originally made in CAD or if you are drawing this part up in CAD for the first time, it is important to get the most critical aspects of the part out of the way first. There are core details that will be important and other features that are not as important. Having an idea of what these things are will greatly help in setting up an order of operations to create a model that is accurate without wasting time going back and redoing steps over and over again.
