Benefits

Challenges Faced in SOLIDWORKS

Whether your…

  • …company logo changes and you need to update all your existing drawings,
  • …you need to start adding cutting profiles and bending instructions as drawing sheets, or
  • …you simply do design-first-drawings-later for a large design

 

…you will possibly have an enormous manual task at your hands.

Solutions in CustomTools

CustomTools’ Batch Processing has a many advanced rule-based tasks, such as

  • reload/change sheet format to migrate, or for converted documents without affecting the original files,
  • append cutting profile sheet and/or bending sheet to existing sheet metal drawings, and
  • create new missing drawings based on various rules to entire designs at once.

 

These features can be a life-saver when facing huge manual tasks, but they can also enable completely new processes and reduce lead times significantly.
