SOLIDWORKS automation with the API and macros

We write SOLIDWORKS macros and add-ins that take the repetitive clicks out of modeling, drawings and file management.

The problem

Your engineers repeat the same steps dozens of times a week: renaming files, filling properties, exporting PDFs and DXFs, updating drawings. Each task is small. Together they eat days.

What we do

  • Macros for repetitive modeling and drawing tasks
  • Custom add-ins with their own menus and task panes
  • Batch export to PDF, DXF, STEP and other formats
  • Custom property and file naming automation
  • Integration with spreadsheets and other business data
  • Source code and documentation handed over at the end

What you get

  • Working macros or add-ins, installed and tested
  • Full source code
  • A short user guide for each tool

You own the deliverables, in native files, once paid. Your engineers review and approve all work.

Good fit when…

  • The same manual steps are repeated on every job
  • You need something smaller or more specific than a full configurator
  • Existing macros break with each SOLIDWORKS release

How it works

How a project runs

The full process
  1. Step 1: Scope

    A call, then a written Statement of Work with scope, schedule and price.

  2. Step 2: Kickoff

    You share standards, templates and files. We confirm the plan.

  3. Step 3: Work overnight

    Send work at the end of your day. Review it at the start of the next.

  4. Step 4: Review weekly

    Weekly alignment against the SOW. Anything off-scope is fixed free.

Questions about SOLIDWORKS API & Macros

Do we get the source code?

Yes. Once the work is paid for, you own the code and everything we create for you.
