ToolXperts is a suite of automation tools built for SOLIDWORKS users who want to speed up design workflows and reduce repetitive tasks. You’re already familiar with SOLIDWORKS, the industry-standard CAD software used globally to design, model, and document innovative products. Like many engineers and designers, you may already be using it to its full potential. Yet, repetitive tasks can still slow you down.
That’s where ToolXperts comes in. Designed by CAD specialists and developed by the Solidxperts team, these tools help you save valuable time by automating your most tedious daily operations: DXF file generation, drawing creation, BOM calculations, linear nesting, and much more.
Why Automate in SOLIDWORKS with ToolXperts?
Do you spend hours creating technical documentation? Are you still manually exporting sheet metal parts to DXF? Managing cut lengths for structural members in Excel?
These repetitive tasks cost you time and increase the risk of human errors that can become costly. In today’s landscape of skilled labor shortages, tight deadlines, and constant pressure on profitability, every minute matters.
What you need are tools that work for you: fewer clicks, fewer errors, more time for design.
ToolXperts: Custom Solutions from SOLIDWORKS Experts
ToolXperts are not generic macros. They are the result of more than 25 years of CAD experience and real-world feedback from industrial design professionals.
Developed by the Solidxperts team, these tools are seamlessly integrated into SOLIDWORKS, respecting your workflows and standards while eliminating unnecessary steps.
Each tool was born from real-world use cases, driven by clients who needed better efficiency, faster ROI, and smoother processes.
Even if only one tool fits your need, it can pay for itself quickly by saving you time every single day.
Popular ToolXperts Features for SOLIDWORKS
Automatic DXF Export for Sheet Metal or Plates (CutXperts)
Gone are the days of opening each part, flattening the model, and launching a manual export. CutXperts by Solidxperts:
- Automatically detects sheet metal parts or those with a custom property
- Flattens them
- Exports clean DXF files in one click
Ideal for fabrication shops or fast-paced subcontractors.
Automated Drawing Generation
This smart module helps you generate part or assembly drawings using:
- Your custom templates
- Your predefined views
- Your preferred scales
- Your standard annotations
Perfect for standardizing deliverables and saving hours on drawing tasks.
Weldment Tool and Linear BOM (BeamcutXperts)
If you work with tubes, bars, or profiles, this tool:
- Generates a dedicated bill of materials
- Calculates raw lengths with tolerances
- Performs optimized linear nesting to minimize material waste
Useful for reducing raw material purchasing costs.
More SOLIDWORKS Automation Features from ToolXperts
- Automatic file conversion
- Cleanup of unnecessary custom properties
- Smart file duplication
- Automated file naming and archiving
Every click saved is time reclaimed for design.
A User Interface Designed for Designers
Built by SOLIDWORKS users for SOLIDWORKS users, ToolXperts features a user-friendly interface that requires no programming knowledge.
- Clean, intuitive, integrated interface
- No steep learning curve
- Complete documentation
- Training and support available
Most importantly, you’re not alone. The Solidxperts team is available to help you integrate the tools into your workflow and even customize them to your unique needs.
Time Savings and ROI with ToolXperts for SOLIDWORKS
Picture this: You’re working on a project with dozens of sheet metal parts. Without CutXperts, you must open each part, create a flat pattern, generate the DXF, name it properly, and repeat the process for every update. With CutXperts, one click and your entire DXF package is ready for the cutting shop.
Example ROI Calculation:
- 5 minutes saved per part
- 50 parts per project
- 10 projects per year
That’s over 40 hours saved annually with just one tool.
And that’s just one example.
What You Gain with ToolXperts
- Time – Each tool is designed to eliminate repetition and free up your design hours
- Consistency – All your deliverables follow the same standards
- Profitability – Less waste, fewer errors, more productivity
- Peace of Mind – You work with reliable, supported, and regularly updated tools
