Inventor or SolidWorks for your move to 3D?
If you have found us, you are possibly an AutoCAD user some way through the process of taking the step from 2D to 3D.
Looking to move from 2D to 3D?
For most customers the move from 2D to 3D is a big and sometimes daunting decision.
Because that decision is important to your business it needs to be the right one, so to maximise the benefit from investment and miminise the risk, you need to consider all of the options.
The guide "Going 3D" will help you with this, by discussing the issues and benefits, and provides essential information to guide you through the transition.
Unrivalled DWG Interoperability
One of the common concerns we find customers have moving to 3D is the potential loss of access to all their AutoCAD data.
"SolidWorks supports AutoCAD data easier and more accurately than any other 3D tool, including AutoDesk’s Inventor!"
To protect your valuable 2D asset, SolidWorks provides DWG Series. A set of tools which are specifically designed to support your AutoCAD data.
- DWG Gateway: FREE utility to Open and Save DWG files created by any version of AutoCAD software.
- DWG Viewer: FREE tool to view native DWG and DXF files.
- DWG Navigator: FREE simple to use AutoCAD file management utility.
- DWG Editor: Editing tool which lets you maintain DWG data without expensive AutoCAD software upgrades.
The DWG Series tools are quick and easy to download, the file size is small and there are no lengthy forms to fill out.
Try them out and see that you don't need to lose anything.
So what 3D design system should I choose?
Our reputation is everything, and having experience of all the CAD tools out there, we know SolidWorks is the best in class Mechanical Design product available.
"SolidWorks is so easy to use that I end up working at least twice as fast as I did in Inventor."
John Hawkes, Product Designer for Dauphin
It has been proven time and again, that companies who are serious about 3D product design will always choose SolidWorks.
