Challenges Faced in SOLIDWORKS
To print or convert in SOLIDWORKS you have to open each file individually which can be extremely time consuming and prone to mistakes.
Solutions in CustomTools
Printing and file conversion are fully automated, as they are managed via pre-defined settings. Multiple tasks can be combined into a single operation to process all files belonging to a BOM.
