DriveWorks – Some more stuff

One of the perks of writing this blog is being able to see things that aren’t released to the general public and then telling the general public about what I’ve seen. For example, I received an email yesterday, from my DriveWorks contact, with a link to a demo for their resellers. (For those of you unfamiliar with DriveWorks, they are a SolidWorks Certified Gold Partner, specializing in rules-based design automation.) The demo showed the full-blown version of DriveWorks, not the free DriveWorksXpress. I have to say that the various results that can be produced in one fell swoop with DriveWorks is pretty impressive. Models, drawings, reports, BOMs, invoices can all be produced with just a few mouse clicks and are all stored in a customer specific folder. Granted, one would have had to do some intensive front-end work, but for companies that produce customized products from base models (i.e. the gantry that DriveWorks uses for their examples), DriveWorks would be most beneficial. Go to the Driveworks website for more information on their line of products. Remember, too, that DriveWorksXpress will be available in SolidWorks 2008. SolidWorks 2007 users can download DriveWorksXpress for free by clicking here.

About Jeff's Tool Shed

While most of what I write will be about SolidWorks, or partner products, from time to time I've been known to go off on random rants about whatever crosses my mind.

Legal B.S.: The thoughts, opinions and commentary posted on Jeff's Tool Shed are mine and mine only. I speak only for myself and no other person(s) or entities, real or imagined.

To satisfy (I hope) FTC disclosure rules: I am provided with non-commercially licensed software and hardware for review by many companies, including Dassault Systemes. (Duh, this is a review blog) While reviewing said software and hardware, I am in contact with employees of the companies providing products involved and, occasionally, asked for feedback (again, it is a review blog). I am not compensated for any of this. DS SolidWorks Corporation has paid for my travel, accommodations, and some meals for various user group events including SolidWorks World.

Questions, comments or complaints can be posted in the 'comments' section of each post or you can email me directly. Thanks for reading!
