Minimize non-value-added tasks with a suite of powerful add-on tools for SOLIDWORKS—designed to support design offices throughout the entire development process.
Developed by Visiativ, myCADtools is the ultimate add-on suite for SOLIDWORKS, trusted by thousands of design teams to streamline workflows, reduce repetitive tasks, and adapt SOLIDWORKS to industrial design standards.
Visiativ myCADtools is your gateway to smarter, faster product development.
Standardize properties, create your own part numbers using project-based counters, and automatically name your new documents.
” We implemented a custom part numbering system… Part numbers are no longer assigned manually, which saves time and completely eliminates omissions and duplicates.”
myCADtools SmartProperties | SOLIDWORKS | |
Create a custom template to define properties in your SOLIDWORKS files | ||
Copy an existing part and its drawing in just two clicks | ||
Use a project-specific counter to generate part numbers | ||
Automatically name new documents based on a selected property | ||
Concatenate length properties to batch rename all weldment and sheet metal folders |
Generate multiple BOMs in a single operation, filtered by type (manufacturing, purchasing, etc.), from an assembly or a Windows folder.
“Provides finalized component formatting to ensure accurate information is delivered to production and all relevant departments”
myCADtools SmartBom | SOLIDWORKS | |
Extract weldment components directly into assembly BOMs | ||
Generate multiple BOMs in a single operation using document property filters | ||
Export drawings as PDFs including quantity information | ||
Concatenate multiple properties into a single column | ||
Export to Excel with 3D previews and using your custom template | ||
Edit properties directly from the BOM | ||
Export all properties (document and configuration) from files in a folder into a single Excel file |
Standardize file names for exports and save time.
Automatically convert a list of SOLIDWORKS documents (Parts, Assemblies, or Drawings) into all formats supported by SOLIDWORKS (DXF, TIFF, PDF, IGES, etc.).
myCADtools BatchConverter | SOLIDWORKS | |
Batch export SOLIDWORKS documents | ||
Automatically retrieve all drawings from an assembly and concatenate all generated PDF files | ||
Bulk import SOLIDWORKS documents | ||
Export a document per configuration | ||
Set naming rules based on file properties and choose destination directories | ||
Export in multiple formats simultaneously |
Perform customized batch processing on documents
Standardize your documents using predefined rules. With a library of over 50 conditions and 100 actions, make bulk changes to your documents (properties, materials, exports, zoom, configurations, sheets, etc.).
myCADtools Integration | SOLIDWORKS | |
Standardize property names, define values from an Excel table... | ||
Run a macro on SOLIDWORKS documents in bulk | ||
Generate a custom report on anomalies | ||
Manage SOLIDWORKS document options |
Save time, eliminate unnecessary tasks, and focus on design
Automatically export all flat patterns of sheet metal parts from a project into a single file.
myCADtools SheetMetal Manufacturing | SOLIDWORKS | |
Create a DWG or DXF file for each flat pattern | ||
Group flat patterns by sheet or file based on material and thickness | ||
Generate a modifiable SOLIDWORKS drawing before sending it to production | ||
Manage the naming of exported files |
Optimize your cuts and save material every year!
Save material by optimizing the cutting of welding profiles based on the assembly or SOLIDWORKS parts.
myCADtools CuttingOptimization | SOLIDWORKS | |
Import profiles in 3D or 2D | ||
Calculate and optimize profile cuttings | ||
Calculate the cost of cuttings (time, material waste percentage, etc.) | ||
Manage cutting angles | ||
Handle different profiles within the same project | ||
Calculate the optimal bar length to be procured | ||
Generate a report with cut details for each profile |
Reuse your projects for new business by recreating your item codes when duplicating
Manage property values, assign new names using counters (as in SmartProperties), and organize folder structures by properties using a tool like SOLIDWORKS Pack and Go.
myCADtools ProjectManager | SOLIDWORKS | |
Duplicate a project with all or part of its dependencies, renaming files with prefixes or suffixes | ||
Manage document properties during copying | ||
Rename documents based on user-defined filters and rules | ||
Redefine the location and structure of duplicated files based on user-defined filters and rules | ||
Locally configure search folders for referenced files and drawings |
