DesignCheck
Catch mistakes before they reach the shop floor.
DesignCheck checks your SOLIDWORKS files against your company's design rules: missing required properties, unassigned materials, naming violations, broken references, dangling dimensions and unsolved mates are all reported. Advanced Save fills in properties, runs checks and generates PDF/DXF output automatically whenever you save.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about DesignCheck.
Can I define my own rules?
Yes. Enable checks from the rule library and set their parameters (such as the required property list or naming pattern) in the UI — no coding needed.
Does Advanced Save run on every save?
Only the tasks you enable run, and only for the file types you choose. For example, you can turn on PDF output for drawings only and switch it off at any time.
Can I try it for free?
Yes. SW+ runs free with every product for 15 days after installation; no credit card required. When the trial ends, enter your license key and continue where you left off.
Which SOLIDWORKS versions are supported?
SOLIDWORKS 2021 and every later release (64-bit, Windows 10/11). A single installer works with all supported versions.
How does licensing work? Do I need an internet connection?
Licenses are annual subscriptions per user (computer), including updates and technical support. After activating your key online once, the add-in works offline. When you change computers, you can remove the activation in the Customer Portal.
Do I need to reinstall to add products later?
No. SW+ is a single SOLIDWORKS add-in, and the products you buy appear as tabs based on your license. When you buy a new product, simply update your license.
