Challenges Faced in SOLIDWORKS
You need to be consistent in naming your files to avoid duplicate names. To guarantee this, you need to use a running number shared between designers. In addition, you need to determine the right save location.
Solutions in CustomTools
File naming can fully be automated so that sequence numbers are automatically shared between the different users and files are always saved to the right location per selected project.
