SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler

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 run 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.

To open the SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler:

For SOLIDWORKS, choose between two methods:
  • From the Windows Start menu, go to SOLIDWORKS Tools version > SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler version.
  • In SOLIDWORKS, go to Tools > SOLIDWORKS Applications > SOLIDWORKS Task Scheduler
