SOLIDWORKS automation features

Powerful SOLIDWORKS automation

Advanced SOLIDWORKS drawing automation

Save time and boost product quality by automatically creating accurate manufacturing drawings.

  • Control sheets, views, annotation text, annotation positions, layers, break lines and custom properties
  • Generation reports provide a complete audit trail of drawing values
  • Save drawings out in additional file formats, such as PDF, JPEG, DWF and DWG

Master SOLIDWORKS files

DriveWorks creates new copies of your master SOLIDWORKS files and all changes are made to these files, saved into new locations based on your rules.

  • Your master files are never modified or overwritten
  • No risk of master data becoming corrupt
  • Drawing references are always correct based on your rules

Replacement components

Automatically replace components in your SOLIDWORKS assemblies with static parts from a library or dynamic replacements pre-driven by DriveWorks.

  • Unlimited number of replacements
  • Keep master models simple
  • Add new replacement options easily

Reuse components

Use rules to control if DriveWorks creates new SOLIDWORKS files or re-uses existing ones.

  • Use intelligent file naming to build a library of components
  • Save generation time by using previously created models
  • Quickly propagate design changes

Generation tasks

Apply specific tasks to run during the creation of your new SOLIDWORKS models, assemblies and drawings for complete over control how your new model is created.

  • Toolbox of over 30 Generation Tasks
  • Granular control of SOLIDWORKS automation
  • Generative modelling with task looping

File formats & save location

You have full control over where files are saved and the folder structure of files created by DriveWorks. Automatically create any additional file format available in SOLIDWORKS.

  • You have complete control over file naming, use intelligent file naming to create a library of parts
  • Save files exactly where you want them
  • Create any additional file format available in SOLIDWORKS
