The SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler lets you set up tasks to perform at a future time.
If you need to perform a resource-intensive task such as rebuilding a
large assembly, you can use the SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler to perform the job at off-peak
hours. You can schedule a task to be performed only once or on a daily, weekly, or
monthly basis. The SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler runs separately from SOLIDWORKS.
You can use the SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler with any SOLIDWORKS license to
convert documents to the latest SOLIDWORKS version and to dissect documents. To schedule
most other tasks
or to schedule distributed file
conversion, you must have a SOLIDWORKS Professional, SOLIDWORKS Premium, or
SOLIDWORKS Office license.
The Convert Files task of the SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler
replaces the Conversion Wizard.
