DriveWorks Data Management is a component of DriveWorks Pro that allows control over the data stored in a DriveWorks shared or individual group. With Data Management, users can directly control project files, CAD files, specifications, etc., which are being accessed by the other DriveWorks applications such as Administrator, Live, Autopilot, and User.
3DEXPERIENCE World 2025 is heading to Houston, TX, from February 23-26, and we are excited to be a part of it! As always, GoEngineer will host a Customer Appreciation Night and offer a variety of technical sessions led by our outstanding technical team. There will be many opportunities to learn, network, and have a great time. This guide will provide a brief preview of this year's event and give you a glimpse of what to expect.
When running the Release Models task in a Specification Flow, all rules associated with the Model Rules and Generation Tasks are evaluated; the models to be generated are placed in a queue. The generation is completed either through the DriveWorks Pro add-in inside of SOLIDWORKS or by DriveWorks Autopilot. Both methods read the model generation queue, and the DriveWorks add-in inside SOLIDWORKS allows users to select which top-level model they wish to generate. Autopilot will simply pick the next model in the list.
The wait is over, DriveWorks 22 is officially available! Let’s dive into some great new features in DriveWorks 22 including user interface improvements, new controls, and much more.
In this guide, we compare each level of DriveWorks and give a general overview of the interface and operation to help determine what level of DriveWorks is best for you. This comparison is demonstrated below by showing the same simple model transitioned from DriveWorksXpress through DriveWorks Pro.
When introduced to DriveWorks, the context usually revolves around CAD automation. Classic demo examples include configuring folding doors, semi-truck trailers, scissor lifts, etc. Many of us see a huge benefit in being able to automate our CAD generation (along with other documents) so we do not have to configure roughly the same model for every single quote.
In DriveWorks, there are several ways to create a specification. When running a specification from DriveWorks Administrator, there is an additional option to run the specification in Test Mode. Test Mode allows you to run your file generation using Generate (On Demand) or Generate (Queued using Model Insight), making it a great way to troubleshoot a project. This article will help clarify the difference between On Demand and Queued using Model Insight to help you better understand when to choose each option.
Communication between departments can be challenging, whether due to struggling to communicate in a timely matter or difficulty conveying design requirements. That’s why many organizations are adopting CPQ solutions.
DriveWorks Live Integration Theme is a theme used by DriveWorks Live that hosts the DriveWorks Live Web API. It allows DriveWorks to integrate directly into a new or existing website, giving you the ability to customize the website itself to your liking, instead of having to use the pre-made DriveWorks forms through an iFrame.
