SolidWorks Computer Aided Design Products

SolidWorks® Classic

The standard in 3D mechanical design software, SolidWorks offers unmatched 2D and 3D design capabilities, performance, and ease-of-use.

Get to market faster with SolidWorks®, the standard in 3D mechanical design software. SolidWorks offers unmatched performance and value, leadership in innovation, and the largest community of users. No other CAD system allows you to get product design work done as quickly and accurately.

If you know Microsoft® Windows®, you’re well on your way to designing with SolidWorks. Familiar Windows functions like drag-and-drop, point-and-click, and cut-and-paste allow you to become productive in hours, proficient within weeks. Create 3D models from existing 2D data with the best available transition tools. Enjoy unmatched design communication capabilities, such as the built-in eDrawings application, providing a breakthrough in sharing 2D and 3D product design information.

Vermeer

Vermeer uses SolidWorks® software to check for interferences and collisions in large assembly designs, which range from 500 to 4,000 parts.

Features and Benefits

	Gain Speed and Flexibility in Managing Large Assemblies Design and change components easily from within the assembly to ensure optimal fit. Gain unparalleled performance for designing large assemblies with tens of thousands of parts. Drag and drop parts and features into place. Speed assembly design with incomparable ease and performance.
Be Productive in Hours, Proficient in Days Become productive rapidly using familiar Windows® functions like point-and-click and cut-and-paste. If you know Windows, you’re well on your way to designing with SolidWorks 3D modeling software. Visualize Better with Heads-up Interface
Improve visualization with Heads-up User Interface, a complete set of visual display and mouse-driven control capabilities that reduce design steps, minimize the need for dialog boxes, and lessen visual clutter. All design properties and parameters are within easy reach with the PropertyManager, an intuitive design editor.
Automate Repetitive Tasks The productivity enhancing drag-and-drop and snap-to-fit functions of SolidWorks software simplify the entire design process. Save time with Smart Part Technology, an innovation that automates assembly tasks such as selecting and inserting standard bolts into holes and adding washers and nuts in the correct sequence.
Create Complete Drawings Automatically Construct production-ready detailed drawings without drawing a single line or arc. SolidWorks software does it for you, eliminating time-consuming drawing view creation, manipulation, and maintenance. Show your design from multiple angles and enlarge details of specific components easily with a few mouse clicks.
Generate Bills of Materials Automatically Speed the development of drawings for designs that contain hundreds or thousands of parts by automatically populating bills of materials (BOMs) with a description and quantity for each component. SolidWorks software minimizes the time required to create production-ready drawings, complete with up-to-date BOMs and balloons.
Unparalleled Compatibility
	Leverage Existing 2D Data Preserve the value of legacy data with the best available transition tools, including help documentation for AutoCAD® users, the ability to drag 2D drawings into SolidWorks drawings, support for reusable 2D geometry, and view folding, a tool that lets you build 3D models more easily from DWG data.
Edit Legacy DWG files with the DWGeditor™ The DWGeditor is for SolidWorks customers who use AutoCAD® to edit or maintain existing DWG files. The DWGeditor provides a low risk, low cost alternative for editing DWG files in their native format, using a familiar user interface.
