Frequently asked questions
How does Drew integrate with SOLIDWORKS?
Drew is an add-in for SOLIDWORKS 2018 and newer. A new tab will appear on the right side of your screen after installation.
Which features are active during a trial?
You can use all features during a trial. We only limit the trial time and nothing else. After purchase of one or multiple licenses, you will receive a single license code that is identical for all users.
How do I set up Drew?
You can request a trial directly from the software or purchase Drew to receive a code via email. After that, we will guide you through a short wizard to set up your Blueprints / templates.
How do you save my preferences?
Drew stores your Blueprints in a local text file. You can share this file with your colleagues in a few clicks.
Which items can Drew add to a new drawing?
With one click, you start a new drawing containing:
- Drawing template
- Sheet format
- 3D view
- 2D view(s)
- Three outer dimensions
- A flat pattern view
- Notes and blocks
- A BOM for assemblies
- A cut list for weldments
After that you can add or delete views with another single click. Drew then fits all items on the sheet perfectly again. We store all of your preferences in the Blueprints.
How does Drew handle weldments and sheet metal?
Drew adds a sheet per unique body with a 3D view, multiple 2D views outer dimensions, a balloon and a note or block. All views are then scaled, fitted nicely on the sheet and rotated when necessary. This also works for each subweldment.
For each sheet metal body, Drew adds a sheet (without background) and a 1:1 flat pattern. You can also add a scaled flat pattern to a normal sheet, even including outer dimensions and a bounding box.
This even works for existing drawings. It only takes one click to add missing body sheets after you have changed the model.
