SwProjectInterface

A workflow helper for Solidworks

This tool automates the process of creating new parts and assemblies in SolidWorks, entering them into project's database, and assigning them custom property (such as part name) that is also visible in the database records. It can also perform few batch operations on files in the database.

Requirements

SwProjectInterface requires .NET 3.5 Framework to run, and, obviously, SolidWorks.

The tool was developed & tested with SolidWorks 2013, but should work flawlessly also with SolidWorks 2014
