Batch import models

Drew can import ten files with one click. First, close all files, then click Create drawings for a folder in the Drew task pane:

You need to select a folder, after which Drew finds all SOLIDWORKS models and other files that can be imported by SOLIDWORKS.

With the buttons next to the filenames, you can:

Import a single file

 Start a new drawing

View an existing drawing in Quick View (way faster than opening a drawing in edit mode)

Edit an existing drawing

Batch import SOLIDWORKS files

Drew skips the importable files that already have a SOLIDWORKS part or assembly with the same name. See Top.STEP in the screenshot above.
