Drawing management
Create a cloud shape easily.
Cloud is a very simple tool which makes it possible to add to the annotation functionality in SolidWorks. It is a traditional method often used to highlight elements in a document. Never let important drawing features go unnoticed!
Introduce better interpretation of your drawings and prepare for exporting to DWG or DXF.
LayerManager automatically distributes the annotations and components of your assembly in different layers of a drawing. This allows you to apply color in drawings much more easily. You can also use this tool to interface better with DXF and DWG formats.
Present your assemblies more intelligently.
SmartBalloons lets you create balloons either for every component in a drawing view, or manually for each component. SmartBalloons can recover custom properties to insert in the annotations.
Optimize the chain of design with advanced trade functions.
ToleranceTable automatically modifies the dimension tolerances of a part by taking into account the extra thickness resulting from surface treatments. ToleranceTable can also create a summary table of all the tolerances of the part (including geometric tolerances).
Automate the first stage of drawing creation.
The first stage of drawing creation for assembly components is a long, repetitive, and meticulous task. Selecting the correct format, creating all the views, and inserting basic annotations is a job that is often outsourced, or done by the designers themselves. Let SmartDrawings automate this step for you, so you can spend less time making drawings, and spend more time on modeling and analysis. The numbers speak for themselves: in a project where it is necessary to detail 300 parts or sub-assemblies, if it takes 3 minutes to create and record each drawing, you potentially save 15 working hours on the project!!
Standardize your document fonts more easily.
FontConverter lets you convert the font of all annotations from one font to another in one click.
Save time and frustration every time you print.
EasyPrint makes it possible to easily print the active document by having all the relevant printing parameters in the same window. EasyPrint also enables you to save the printing options per format.
