SOLIDWORKS Toolbox covers your needs for creating holes and assembling hardware items, such as fasteners, washers, nuts, and bolts. Built by engineers, for engineers. SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD has evolved by anticipating future design requirements, understanding how you want to work and implementing user-driven enhancements over 30+ years. Turn Your Documentation Into a Conversation File sharing made easy. Share your design for review with secure links from SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD without sending a physical file and never lose control of your data. Markup in 3D. Get easy feedback from stakeholders. Models can be shared for review and marked up directly by multiple people in 3D, all in a browser. Remove friction for immediate feedback. Internal and external collaborators do not need to download any extra software or viewers to review your work—it is all done through SOLIDWORKS. 3D Part ModelingCreate robust, editable models using sketches, extrudes, revolves, sweeps, lofts, shells, ribs, patterns, and fillets in a fully parametric environment. Assembly ModelingBuild complex assemblies with top-down/bottom-up workflows, intelligent mates, configurations, exploded views, and performance tools for large designs. 2D Drawings & DocumentationGenerate associative 2D drawings from 3D models with automatic updates, full GD&T, BOMs, cut lists, and detailing for manufacturing. Surface Modeling & Hybrid SolidsModel complex free-form surfaces and seamlessly transition between solids and surfaces for aesthetic and functional geometry. Sheet-Metal DesignDesign enclosures and brackets with bends, flanges, hems, forming tools, and automatic flat-pattern generation ready for CNC or laser cutting. WeldmentsCreate welded frames quickly using structural profiles, automatic corner treatments, cut lists, and clear documentation for fabrication. Mold, Tooling & Casting SupportAccelerate core/cavity splits, draft analysis, parting lines, and tooling design to streamline mold and casting workflows. Design for ManufactureUse interference detection, collision checks, and basic DfM validations to reduce late-stage surprises and production rework. Visualization & Basic AnimationCreate exploded views and simple motion animations to communicate design intent to stakeholders and customers. CAD Data ExchangeImport/export major neutral formats (STEP, IGES, Parasolid, ACIS, STL, etc.) for collaboration with suppliers, CAM, and downstream systems. Entry-Level ValidationLeverage included Xpress tools (e.g., SimulationXpress, FloXpress) for quick part-level checks and early-stage insight. Large Assembly PerformanceWork faster with lightweight modes, SpeedPak, simplified configurations, and display states optimized for big models. DraftSight Professional Overview DraftSight Professional is the best in class 2D CAD with powerful productivity tools and an API to accelerate your design projects. Create, view, edit and convert drawings including DWG, DXF, and DGN files. Draw fundamental elements such as lines, polylines, arcs, circles, ellipses, tables, hatches, and clouds Convert raster images like floor plans and logos to vectorized entities in seconds Import, create, and manage layers, blocks, and external references, and output drawings to a plotter, printer, or file Comprehensive API to customize and automate processes using LISP, C#, C++, VB or similar programming languages Highlights Advanced 2D Design - Feature-rich 2D CAD solution. Streamline the design process, continue to use your favorite tools while increasing efficiency. Easy to get started. Productivity Tools - Robust productivity tools, including support for Dynamic Blocks, PowerTrim, DrawCompare, and automatic layer assignment. API Access - A robust API to customize and automate processes with LISP routines or your favorite programming language. Top Features Image TracerConvert raster images in .bmp, .png, and .jpg formats into accurate and editable lines and curves in DWG files. The images can range widely from floor plans to artistic logos saving massive time and tedious effort to manually retrieve and edit the image elements. Layers ManagerManage and organize layers easily and consistently. Show, freeze, lock layers, or modify layer styles at one single location to carry out changes at scale and speed up your drafting process. Dynamic Block SupportDraftSight supports viewing and manipulating AutoCAD® Dynamic Blocks. The special grips allow you to change size, shape, orientation, or even choose how a block is displayed among multiple variations carried over from your legacy drawings. Mechanical ToolboxDraftSight contains robust mechanical tools and symbols that will help you standardize your mechanical drafting practices and speed up your time to market. The Mechanical Toolbox allows you to choose which industry-standard you want to use or create your own custom standard. Visual LISPRun Visual LISP routines directly in addition to DraftSight’s existing support of AutoLISP. Draw CompareCompare drawing revisions to quickly identify and track changes. Draw Compare will graphically depict differences between drawings or show entities that have been added or removed in the color of your choice. Mouse GesturesAccess your most frequently used commands by simply holding down the right mouse button and moving the mouse in the proper direction to access commands and speed up drafting. Auto DimensionUse the AutoDimension command to dimension drawings automatically. Create baseline, continued, and ordinate dimensions for specified entries that are enclosed within a Dimension Bounding Box. PowerTrimPowerTrim cuts to the chase by assuming everything is a cutting edge from the get-go. Just start the PowerTrim command and drag your cursor over the entities you want to trim. That’s it! No more selecting cutting edges, you just start trimming. LISP AutomationDraftSight makes it easy to load and use your favorite LISP code, including AutoLISP® and Visual LISP® to automate tedious or repetitive tasks. Customize with APIsDraftSight provides extensive APIs for you to build custom capabilities to fit your specific needs. In addition to LISP based automations, you can also load Dynamic Link Libraries (.dll files) or custom scripts.
