SheetPro
Sheet metal and profile manufacturing data in one click.
SheetPro exports DXF/DWG flat patterns for every sheet metal part in an assembly or folder, organized into folders by thickness and material. It manages sheet metal parameters from a table, exports sheet metal and structural cut lists to Excel with thumbnails, and plans profile cuts with minimum waste. In the SW+ Premium bundle, flat patterns are nested onto sheets automatically.

Common questions about SheetPro.
Which formats are flat patterns exported to?
DXF and DWG. Bend lines and layers are configurable; files are organized into folders by thickness and material, with quantities in the file name.
Which bundle includes nesting?
Nesting is included in the SW+ Premium bundle. The standalone SheetPro license and the Standard and Professional bundles include every other SheetPro module.
How does structural cut optimization work?
It builds the cut list for the profiles in a weldment, calculates the cutting plan with the least waste for the stock lengths you define and exports it to Excel.
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.
