DrawPress
Put drawing output on autopilot.
DrawPress converts every drawing and model in an assembly to PDF, DXF, DWG, STEP and other formats in one go. It groups drawings by a property such as manufacturing routing and merges them into a single bookmarked PDF, swaps title blocks and templates in bulk, and places the part number on the drawing as a QR code. In the SW+ Premium bundle, views, BOM tables and dimensions are created automatically.

Common questions about DrawPress.
Which formats can I export to?
PDF, DXF, DWG, STEP, IGES, Parasolid, STL, 3MF, 3D PDF, eDrawings and JPG. File names and target folders can be built from file properties.
How are PDFs merged?
By a property you choose, such as manufacturing routing. Drawings are grouped by that value and merged into a single PDF with bookmarks and a table of contents. Required title block fields are checked as well.
Which bundle includes automatic drawings?
Automatic drawings are included in the SW+ Premium bundle. The standalone DrawPress license and the Standard and Professional bundles include every other DrawPress module.
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.
