DriveWorks

DriveWorks LogoDriveWorks is a leading Design Automation tool for SolidWorks users.  As a SolidWorks Gold Partner Solution, DriveWorks is tightly integrated with SolidWorks, allowing users to easily automate the mechanical design of products and the creation of derivative models and drawings from within SolidWorks.

In Engineer-To-Order (ETO) and Configure-To-Order (CTO) companies, DriveWorks is often used outside engineering by groups like sales or customer service to respond to customer inquiries and requests.  In these environments it can also be used by outside distributors or customers, over the web, to configure their own orders and receive the associated quotes themselves.  The DriveWorks product line is developed by DriveWorks Ltd and sold through select SolidWorks resellers worldwide.

The DriveWorks offerings consist primarily of three progressively more functionally capable products.  DriveWorksXpress is an easy to use, basic design automation tool for SolidWorks engineers that is built into every license of SolidWorks.  DriveWorks Solo is a SolidWorks add-in that expands on the functionality in DriveWorksExpress.  It allows the creation of more complex interactive user interfaces, wider control over SolidWorks models and drawings, support for tabular data lookups, and the ability to generate output documents from provided templates.

The flagship product, DriveWorks Pro expands capabilities to the enterprise, supporting a permission-based team environment and workflow-style processes. DriveWorks Pro projects can be shared across the organization, by SolidWorks and non-SolidWorks users simultaneously.   It adds further control over user interfaces and adds support for SolidWorks macro and DriveWorks API programming extensions.
