Why to do work hard when you can automate **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jagrut J. | Mechanical Design Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 07, 2021 **What do you like best about DriveWorks?** DriveWorks is the best helping hand for users for SolidWorks using company whose customer wants each product customised by their own requirment. Nest things i like is we can use this DriveWorks as a e-commerce site for a respected company also. Where customers can login, add product as per their want, pay and next 2 minutes drawing are ready with auto email functions. Also i like is DriveWorks email support team they are very fast to resolve any issues and help any time to their customers. **What do you dislike about DriveWorks?** DriveWorks 18 is far more improved from last 3-4 version. Each versions they are updating and resolving all the bugs. What i dislike is before 2-3 days i want to rotate the textbox by 90° for UI requirment, that i can't do right now.ay be i hope they will update this also in next version. **Recommendations to others considering DriveWorks:** If you have a customized product as per customer wants and you want to move forward to industry 4.0 and if you want vanish this tons to hours of repeating work. The. DriveWorks is best for you. Its not necessary you are using SolidWorks or not although its a golden software for SolidWorks but we can use this only as CPQ with a very very easy manner. **What problems is DriveWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have completed many projects till yet in DriveWorks. We also solved that we can use Microsoft Access database for company and can ise that database in to DriveWorks through connector and can generate drawings & sent emails through autopilot. Although we can use SQL but specific client only want to use Microsoft access database, but DriveWorks is eligible to solve that also. I'm also working on new things are to add 3d dimensions in DriveWorks 3d preview. Currently there is no specific function to add 3d dimensions in UI in 3D preview but by use of a blank node and "3d Text" entity we can give it witha nicer way. We solved that 3D dimensions issue by ghat way and client is very happy with that also. Benefits i have realised is, error messages system is prevent any customer to add non feasible data as input which is very good also emails are working very fast and fine. ### 7. Doesn't have to be from IT background. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ankit D. | Design Automation Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 29, 2020 **What do you like best about DriveWorks?** Easy to automate, Structured approach and flow, easily integrated with other systems. The latest 3D update is really good. **What do you dislike about DriveWorks?** It only integrated with Solidworks can't think of anything else. The SDK of DW is a bit out of my understanding. This is not about DriveWorks but myself. My colleagues have made good use of API too. **What problems is DriveWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being a Mechanical background, Driveworks has given me the power to give smooth entry into the automation world. With DriveWorks, we are automating not only the client's design but also their workflow. The interactive UI with 3D functionality has given the power to the client's sales team to outperform and generate quotations in real-time. The model, drawing generation, and QC time got reduced significantly. We are also using DW as a central system to manage the flow and track the data. It is also integrated with the ERP system. We have implemented the flow where the data is filled in with a single click and all the process has been taken care of using an Autopilot. Also, the DW support team has provided good support in whichever manner possible. ### 8.

Easily the leader in their field **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David M. | Product Development Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 07, 2021 **What do you like best about DriveWorks?** My absolute favorite thing about DriveWorks is how deeply you can integrate it into your repetitive processes. DriveWorks was originally designed to help automate the creation of configurations of SOLIDWORKS CAD data, but has since expanded to a very wide variety of output formats: Word and Excel files, SQL and other external databases, .txt and .csv files, and more. You can integrate directly with a PDM system, or initiate specifications from .xml data dumped into an internal folder. Your forms can be basic and filled out by engineering or sales, or they can be dynamic and visual and filled out by distributors or end customers. No matter how great or small you want your DriveWorks system to be, it can be tailored to those needs. I've personally interacted with DriveWorks in a variety of capacities throughout my career. From ownership on down, I've never once had a negative experience with them. The co-founders have a shared passion for what they have created, and they also have a rare gift for finding and maturing the young talent they bring onto their team. The result is a product that has been a leader in its field: ERP-based systems rarely provide the breadth of documentation or ability to customize an implementation, and DriveWorks' direct competitors (at least the two that I've evaluated) have always had something missing in comparison. **What do you dislike about DriveWorks?** The biggest difficulties with DriveWorks have little to do with the company, or it's product. As an administrator, your greatest challenge is defining the rules, logic and limitations of your process... and that's an INTERNAL problem. If your procedures (or product) are highly complex or detailed, the effort it takes to automate (and troubleshoot any errors) increases in kind. Anyone getting involved with DriveWorks (or similar platform) would be wise to understand this prior to beginning their evaluation. As with any automation system, you can make your DriveWorks implementation as simple or complex as you want it, as it is customized and designed by you (or a consulting partner, if you choose that route). But that is a double-edged sword: a simple implementation may be easy to put in place but not save as much overhead, and a complex one can require a long and involved project to put in place before reaping benefits from a further reduced cycle time. I would happily contend that complex/deep implementations are well worth the added initial overhead, but that does require you to manage your expectations with company leadership. **Recommendations to others considering DriveWorks:** My first and foremost recommendation for a company evaluating DriveWorks is to audit your own process. One cannot automate a product/process that you do not understand. Check around with your sales or engineering teams, make sure that you understand and document the rules that govern these processes. Equally important is to document the cost of your existing system. Document how much time your engineers spend to create custom CAD/Drawings/data entry (or, if implementing with your sales/distributor team, how much time is spent by sales or customer care to manage incoming sales details). Keep documenting this after you've implemented DriveWorks, and you will have a detailed record of how much money you've saved from automating your processes. This can go a long way towards pleasing Company Leadership as they evaluate the return on investment of the resources and capital that goes into an implementation. **What problems is DriveWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ostensibly, you buy DriveWorks because you want to automate the creation of new documents (such as SOLIDWORKS CAD drawings), although you can further automate a host of other output document formats (Word, Excel, exports to SQL or other database engines). DriveWorks helps you document all of the rules that it takes to go from "order input form" to "custom configured output". However, there is a second problem you are solving with DriveWorks: In order to implement DriveWorks into your company system, you need to audit, document and make repeatable all of the little rules and logic that govern your process. Making your processes DOCUMENTED and REPEATABLE is a major asset to your organization. The most recent DriveWorks implementation that I did was at a company that did well to track how much time went into their process for creating custom drawings. We also tracked the overhead that went into DriveWorks implementation (capital resources for software, my burden rate for time spent on the project). The payback period was under a year, and we saw a decrease of over 50% of our Engineering team's time spent on drawing creation. The return on investment with DriveWorks is very, very real. ### 11. A Tool Which Having Capabilities To Change Business Process **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ankit Pachnanda C. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2020 **What do you like best about DriveWorks?** Driveworks Pro is actually having the capabilities which can change the complete business strategies of any manufacturing companies. I used the Driveworks Pro for one of my customers to do the automate process from Product Designing to Manufacturing according to different manufacturing sites and operations. It helps the companies to spent more time in Research and Development instead of doing regular operation also help to increase productivity. **What do you dislike about DriveWorks?** Every software need time to mature. So there is no dislikes. **Recommendations to others considering DriveWorks:** It will help companies to spend time and money in new Research and Development but initially you have to be give time to understand and run the business. **What problems is DriveWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using different manufacturing processes to manufacture same product in different manufacturing sites in our global presence. Due to global presence our manufacturing drawing also carrying different unit systems. With the Drive works, we are not bothered about unit system, material and manufacturing process. We need to select only manufacturing site location and Drive Works handled everything. ### 12. DriveWorks is excellent software to speed up making your 3d models. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 04, 2020 **What do you like best about DriveWorks?** You can control complete assembly for a model that contains a lot of variants with only one 3d models and a lot of background rules typed in DriveWorks. You can generate each variant you need any time after you set your model with the rules. Your end result can be with few clicks to have the wanted model and the needed drawings for production. **What do you dislike about DriveWorks?** There are some bugs with the balloons for the drawings. Using the settings in DriveWorks will not give you accurate results for complicated drawings. You should dig deeper to make it possible, I have my own way :) **Recommendations to others considering DriveWorks:** If you have product that is almost the same, but have a lot of variants in size and some extra features to be or not to be, or some parts that have variants, than DriveWorks will be perfect choice for your company. **What problems is DriveWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have several projects in DriveWorks for the current company that I'm working. The benefits are good, I don't have each time when we want new variant of some sub-assembly to make everything from scratch, I just set the parameters in the DriveWorks form and generate the needed variant directly in the PDM. ### 13. "Powerful Design Automation and Configurator Software" **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Anand N. | Associate Mechanical Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2020 **What do you like best about DriveWorks?** 1. Easy and best to use Design Automation software. 2. Reduces the repetitive tasks. 3. Faster and better performance with SolidWorks It can do much more by creating configurations for each parts, drawings and assemblies very fast.

Also DriveWorks has provided different packages which suits for their industries. It can be easily integrated with SolidWorks. It delivers customer product faster and with greater accuracy. DriveWorks solo is very similar to Design table which is already their in SolidWorks platform. Top features of DriveWorks are 1. Automatically controls the dimensions, features,custom properties and switch configurations. 2. Design easy to use input forms that limit inputs. 3. Automatically generates all parts and models 4. Generates product drawings 5. Reduces the repetitive engineering tasks. **What do you dislike about DriveWorks?** No dislikes about this software. I will happily recommend this to every designers. I am happy to use this software which makes my work easier and faster with greater accuracy. And also it consumes very less time compare to manual designing of the parts again. Cost wise it seems to be Okay compare to other Automation softwares. DriveWorks single license can be used by one person at a time. It would be better if it had floating license so that more than one people can make use of that. DriveWorks does not support for iPad or cannot be installed in Mac. **What problems is DriveWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?** It saves lot of timings to create n number of part configurations and generation of drawings related to the parts. Only correct dimensional inputs need to be given to this software to get desired results or output. I would like to recommend this software to all designers to increase productivity with greater accuracy. It is very helpful for repetitive tasks which reduces the time, Work and human efforts as well. Best in class software which I experienced personally. Final product can be delivered to the customer very fast and on time so that customer satisfaction can also be achieved. Design can be done very fast and also less time consuming. ### 14. DriveWorks tool changes the defination of Automatic design & leading industries to the next level. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Poonam D. | Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 05, 2021 **What do you like best about DriveWorks?** firstly, it is a fully automatic tool which reduces our time taking jobs and the repetitive tasks, in this which we can build libraries either overnight and overtime. Moreover, it Identifies system and pricing models that may be incorrect. Secondly, the automated form creation is what I liked the most in Driveworks. **What do you dislike about DriveWorks?** There is a limitation here we can configure and automate similar designs only. **What problems is DriveWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?** In the past scenario, we were making a lot of design configurations & revisions it is time to take the job but now, we are using Drive Works, and many concern what from ourself and customer side has been resolved. ### 15. A great automation software for creating new models quick **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Industrial Automation | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 02, 2020 **What do you like best about DriveWorks?** It works similar to design tables in SolidWorks, but it can do much more and can create new parts and assemblies in seconds or minutes once all is set. It's also nice how all of it can be controlled by a simple user friendly form. The form on DriveWorks is connected and synced to a SolidWorks part models and Assembly models through formulas on a master model. Instead of creating a configuration as a design table would do, DriveWorks will pull numbers and create new models and assemblies to avoid large file sizes and complications obtained with design tables and configurations that can cause problems in a PDM system. **What do you dislike about DriveWorks?** This software might benefit some companies more than others pending on what they manufacture, and it does take time to create a form for it's function. The time is also well made up for once it is working and much faster than a person creating new parts and assemblies. **What problems is DriveWorks solving and how is that benefiting you?** One solved problem is that it saves lots of engineering time on parts and assemblies that are similar outside of only a handful of dimensions that might change while creating a similar part or assembly. This is also a benefit of this software, but also many other benefits too, even if you are quickly adjusting parts to see if it allows better performance to a design through animation. ### 16.
