DriveWorks Administrator – manage your automation projects

Set up and manage your design automation and configurator project with DriveWorks Administrator and the SOLIDWORKS add-in.

Easy, powerful design automation

There are many ways to grow your business – sell more, cut costs, save time, innovate or diversify, to name just a few.
‍
DriveWorks Pro helps you achieve all of this and more by streamlining repetitive, time-consuming tasks, leaving you more time to focus on improving product quality, adding value, increasing throughput and winning more business.
‍
Add an online sales configurator and you can take your business global and reach more customers faster than ever before. Achieving these goals is not as difficult as you might think. With a relatively small initial investment of time, you can implement DriveWorks Pro across many areas of your business, capture the experience and know-how of your best people, and use that knowledge to automate your existing processes, cut costs and increase profits.
‍
DriveWorks Administrator is the core module of DriveWorks Pro, where you configure, test, run and control user access to your design automation projects. With an easy-to-use interface, a process-driven workflow and built-in templates to get you started, DriveWorks Administrator simplifies your design automation tasks and gets you up and running straight away.

Key features

Capture design knowledge and design intent

Automating the creation of 3D models and 2D drawings is simple and straightforward with the DriveWorks add-in in the Task Pane of your SOLIDWORKS® 3D CAD software, where you capture all the dimensions, features, components, custom properties and drawings you need to drive.
In DriveWorks Administrator you then build dynamic, data-driven input forms to collect the values needed to drive your designs, and create variables and design rules that control all your captured design data using the simple Excel®-style formula syntax many engineers already know – no programming skills or consultants required.

Manage workflow with Specification Flow

Not every product can be 100% automated – some may need additional engineering input, or a review and approval before final release. The Specification Flow feature in DriveWorks Administrator is perfect for these situations.

When a specific task is completed or a specific condition is met, you can set up Specification Flow to notify your engineers, email documents and quotes, or pause until the design has been reviewed and approved – helping you manage both your manual and automated processes.

Connect to other business systems

With DriveWorks Administrator you can easily share data with your existing business systems, such as CRM, ERP and PDM, and use that data to drive your design automation projects. This makes it easier to manage pricing, discounts, stock levels and delivery schedules – so you can cut costs, protect margins, and forecast and plan more accurately.
