Your SOLIDWORKS file admin done in minutes, not hours

#Task batch-processes your parts, drawings and assemblies. Export PDFs and DWGs, fix missing references and floating components, and update properties across hundreds of files in a single run, on your own workstation.

  • Works with every version of SOLIDWORKS, including PDM
  • Runs locally on Windows. No cloud, your files never leave your machine
  • Seven new built-in macros in v2.6, plus plugins for your own macros

Scott's team saved 500+ hours on one project!

"#Task is integral to our modelling, drafting and design process."

“We would have to have more drafters to do the same job if we weren’t using it. You couldn’t be as competitive, and you couldn’t punch out drawings as quickly.”

Scott Cox, Director of Ignite Engineering

Why #Task?

Your best engineer should not be acting as a batch processor. #Task takes the repetitive file admin off the desk and runs it as one job.

Without #Task:

  • Open. Update. Save. Export. Repeat.
  • Risky macros from online forums
  • Missing file references
  • Unanchored components in assemblies
  • Time-consuming PDF exports
  • Licence chaos

With #Task:

  • Automated macros save hours
  • Trusted, supported plugins
  • Find and report with a click
  • Auto-fix floating parts
  • Batch PDF with naming and zoom controls
  • Web portal with admin control

Before you install

The questions engineers ask before requesting the trial.

Which versions of SOLIDWORKS does #Task support?

#Task v2.6 is compatible with all current versions of SOLIDWORKS, including the latest parts, drawings and assemblies. Tell us your version when you request the trial and we confirm before you install.

Does it work with SOLIDWORKS PDM?

Yes. #Task automates batch exports, file fixes and administrative tasks across SOLIDWORKS PDM workflows.

What do I need to run it?

A Windows 10 or 11 workstation with SOLIDWORKS installed. #Task is a desktop application and does not run on macOS or mobile devices, which is why we email the link rather than downloading it here.

How is the licence managed?

Through a secure web-based licence portal. Admins add and remove users and control permissions without spreadsheets or manual key handling.

Can I write my own macros?

Yes. #Task supports plugins for advanced control, so custom macros run inside the same batch process as the built-in ones.
