In this SOLIDWORKS tips and tricks video we delve into two essential tools that can revolutionize your design documentation process: Format Painter and Parametric Notes. SOLIDWORKS is a versatile and powerful CAD software, but sometimes, the details in your designs matter just as much as the designs themselves. That’s where Format Painter and Parametric Notes come into play. They offer you the means to not only create polished and consistent documentation but also to ensure that your documentation stays up to date with your evolving designs. Format Painter allows the copying and pasting of visual properties from one dimension or annotation to another from within the same document or another. Parametric Notes allows the injection of dimensions and annotations from your design into notes that parametrically update as your design changes.  Both Format Painter and Parametric notes will save you time and prevent errors by allowing you to use data that is already stored in your design or drawing and give you the ability to reuse that data. If your design changes so will your documentation update with it.
