DriveWorks Solo automates solid parts, assemblies, and drawings in SolidWorks, enabling design automation and a sales configurator that calculates costs, with input forms and file naming and format control.
Download DriveWorks Solo from driveworks.co.uk, install it, and enter your company and reseller information. Activate the license and access online resources to begin using DriveWorks Solo.
Learn to create a drive and an assembly, build a user form, control the drawing, and generate customer documents from the UI input in DriveWorks Solo.
Create a new DriveWorks Solo project by setting up a folder, saving the primary project file, then map materials, open the model, and define controls, forms, and rules.
Capture a model for automation by selecting design scope, capturing assembly and part dimensions, naming dimensions clearly, and configuring custom properties such as DWColor to drive changes.
Design interactive forms in DriveWorks Solo using the project designer, add controls like opening height and window options, and build dynamic rules with the rule builder to drive outputs.
Master driveworks design rules to compute door width and height from opening width, wall and frame gaps, and frame thickness, using variables, constants, and the rule editor for automatic dimensions.
Explore writing design rules in SolidWorks DriveWorks Solo, wiring variables like doorHeight and doorWidth, and applying suppressible features to automate door and window dimensions.
Boost your DriveWorks Solo automation project by setting file names and relative paths using DW specification, enforcing an order number with form rules, and generating drawings and quotation documents.
Explore static replacement in DriveWorks Solo by swapping lever and bolt through an option group and rules, updating the model and previewing the result.
Navigate forms in DriveWorks Solo by conditionally showing details based on window requirements. Manage circular and rectangular options with diameter, width, and height controls.
Master dynamic placement by swapping a window and updating related components, controlling custom properties through model rules so the circular window and diameter adjust automatically via capture and project designer.
Are you tired of repeating the same tasks in SOLIDWORKS over and over again?
