Working in SOLIDWORKS is already efficient thanks to its advanced features and user interface. But what if you could speed things up even more? That is exactly what CUSTOMTOOLS is for – a tool designed to help you automate routine tasks and boost your productivity in everyday work. In this article, we look at the main features of CUSTOMTOOLS and share practical SOLIDWORKS tips and tricks for using it effectively.
Key benefits of CUSTOMTOOLS for SOLIDWORKS
- Fast export and printing of documentation
CUSTOMTOOLS lets you batch print drawings and export files to formats such as PDF, DXF or DWG in just a few clicks. This eliminates a tedious manual process that could otherwise take hours. - Advanced management of component properties
Simple management of part and assembly properties and parameters makes it easy to standardise documentation across projects. - Automated file naming and saving
With CUSTOMTOOLS you can predefine rules for naming and saving files, which reduces the risk of errors and speeds up data organisation. - Easy creation of bills of materials (BOMs)
CUSTOMTOOLS makes it easy to generate accurate BOMs, so your documentation always matches the current design.
SOLIDWORKS tips and tricks for more efficient work
- Automatic file conversion: Set up rules to export drawings to the required formats whenever they are saved. Automatic conversion to PDF or DXF, for example, saves you time every day.
- Custom properties: Use templates to define custom properties that are applied automatically to new documents. This keeps your data consistent and well organised.
- Batch printing: Prepare multiple drawings for printing at once with minimal effort. CUSTOMTOOLS lets you set up different print templates for different types of drawings.
- Data management: Make sure all files are named correctly thanks to the rules you define in CUSTOMTOOLS. This makes them easier to find and archive.
Who benefits most from CUSTOMTOOLS?
- Small and medium-sized businesses: Companies looking for ways to streamline their processes without major investment.
- Design teams: Teams working on large projects where processes need to be standardised and errors kept to a minimum.
- Manufacturing companies: Businesses that need fast and accurate generation of drawings, BOMs and other outputs.
Conclusion
CUSTOMTOOLS is an invaluable tool for anyone who wants to work faster in SOLIDWORKS and minimise manual effort. It helps you not only save time, but also improve the quality of your outputs and simplify data management. Make the most of its potential and gain an edge over the competition.
