Maintain SOLIDWORKS Standards Compliance with SOLIDWORKS Design Checker

Many companies that have a drafting department often also have a checking or quality department to maintain SOLIDWORKS standard compliance. The design checker in this department usually have to review each drawing to ensure they conform to company standards. This can involve checking fonts, decimal spaces, title block information and much more.

This process can be very tedious, prone to error, manual, and details can easily be overlooked.

If you are an owner of SOLIDWORKS Professional or Premium software, you may not be aware of the SOLIDWORKS Design Checker included with your license. It is a hidden gem that can save you hours of mundane work.

The standards compliance tool is integrated into the SOLIDWORKS software interface, making it easy for you to spot and fix potential errors before releasing your designs.
