A major challenge for electrical, electronics, and mechanical design teams has been the inability to transfer data efficiently between electrical and mechanical tools. SOLIDWORKS® 2017 has bridged that gap with solutions that brings Electromechanical Design together into a single, cohesive environment. The new capabilities take advantage of a unified environment for schematic and layout tools that combines the electronics design expertise of Altium® with the ease of use of SOLIDWORKS.

See how the combination of SOLIDWORKS and Altium allows you to seamlessly synchronize electromechanical design with our on-demand webinar below:
