SOLIDWORKS Design & Help

One of the most rewarding parts of my work as a CAD Operator is finding ways to make design processes faster and more efficient. Recently, I developed a SolidWorks VBA macro that goes beyond simple DXF export by:

✅ Automatically exporting sheet metal flat patterns as DXF files

✅ Organizing them into folders based on material thickness

✅ Renaming DXF files instantly using the part name

What makes this tool different is how it combines these steps into a fully automated, production-ready workflow. Instead of just exporting, it delivers files that are already sorted, named, and ready for manufacturing, saving hours of manual work and reducing costly errors.

It’s not just about solving design challenges; it’s about improving processes end-to-end. Small innovations like this can transform repetitive tasks into seamless workflows, freeing up more time for creativity and problem-solving.

Always excited to keep learning, improving, and sharing solutions that make design work smarter. 💡
