Automating Drawings with DriveWorks

March 10, 2025

Creating and managing detailed engineering drawings can be time-consuming, especially when dealing with repetitive tasks. DriveWorks offers powerful automation tools that streamline drawing creation, ensuring accuracy and efficiency while reducing manual input.

 

In this webinar, we will explore two key aspects of automating drawings in SOLIDWORKS: driving general tables and working with drawing blocks. We will start by demonstrating how to insert and automate values in general tables, covering best practices for setup and configuration. Then, we well dive into drawing blocks, explaining their purpose, how to set them up, and how DriveWorks can dynamically control their placement, scaling, and visibility.

 

Join TriMech Solutions Consultant, Applications, Aleksandar Tepsic, as he provides a hands-on walkthrough of these automation techniques, showcasing practical use cases for design and manufacturing teams looking to improve their drawing workflows.

 

Key Takeaways:

  1. Learn how to insert, configure, and drive values in general tables using DriveWorks.

  2. Discover how to create and manage drawing blocks for reusable elements in engineering drawings.

  3. See how DriveWorks can control block positioning, scaling, and visibility based on design parameters.

  4. Explore real-world applications where automating tables and drawing blocks saves time and reduces errors.
