Setting Up Models

Contents

• Capturing Dimensions and Features
  

  To use DriveWorksXpress, you first add a SolidWorks model to the DriveWorksXpress database and then identify the parameters to control when generating variations.

• Assigning Custom Properties
  

  You can assign properties to the model to populate drawing borders or automate annotations in SolidWorks drawings. For your DriveWorksXpress project, you can add new properties or use properties already set up in SolidWorks.

• Adding a Drawing to a Model
  

  You can associate a master drawing with your model to generate updated drawings automatically when you generate new models.
