Why SolidWorks is the best choice for AutoCAD users?
SolidWorks software allows you to test and revise product designs easily, so you can get design work done 20-30% faster. Not only is SolidWorks easy to learn and use, it offers unmatched compatibility with AutoCAD software and other CAD systems.
Going from 2D to 3D is easy:
Design sketches and assembly layouts may represent the first step of a consumer product or machine design; and if they exist in AutoCAD, SolidWorks can use them as the foundation for 3D geometry. For instance, the aforementioned DWG/DXF Import wizard also allows such a file to be imported directly into the SolidWorks sketcher – from there, it can easily be turned into a 3D model. If there are any problems inherent in the drawing or caused by the translation, the SolidWorks Repair tool will automatically fix these problems in the sketcher. In addition, if the drawing contains multiple views, SolidWorks tools will semiautomatically project that 2D geometry into the third dimension.
SolidWorks software includes several tools to simplify the building of assembly layouts. First, SolidWorks deals with imported geometry as separate entities. This makes it easy, for instance, to delete AutoCAD geometry that’s not necessary in building the desired model. It’s also simple to select only the entities that you need, and then use the ability with SolidWorks to automatically copy them into a separate sketch in just two clicks. SolidWorks also simplifies the selection of certain elements via its advanced Selection Filters.
