This video shows how SOLIDWORKS Inspection can create a bill of characteristics from neutral file formats like PDF or DWG. It demonstrates starting a new project, using templates, and applying OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract key details such as part name, document number, and dimensions from a PDF drawing. Auto-extract and manual extract options capture dimensions, tolerances, and hole callouts, even at angles. Once extracted, characteristics are ballooned and added to the inspection report, where inspection methods can be assigned. In minutes, users can convert any PDF into a fully usable inspection project with ballooned drawings.
