SOLIDWORKS MBD

Annotates models with datums, datum targets, basic dimensions, toleranced dimensions, polar dimensions, geometric tolerances, surface finishes, weld symbols, draft symbols, balloons, BOMs, notes, coordinate systems, reference geometries, intersection geometries, continuous features, compound features, and other Product Manufacturing Information (PMI)

Defines feature-based annotations (DimXpert) for parts and assemblies

Provides a predefined library of manufacturing features to align the definitions with manufacturing practices such as pockets, slots, notches, cones, counterbore holes, countersink holes, patterns, chamfers, and fillets

Reuses DimXpert annotations from parts to assemblies

Automates the annotation definition by the model type, tolerance type, pattern dimensioning, reference features, and scope

Defines software-readable general profile tolerances in notes or tables

Customises annotation text display scales

Copies DimXpert from a source configuration to other configurations to save time and maintain consistencies

Recognises manufacturing features automatically on native or imported solid bodies

Flags the Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) violations automatically against the ASME Y14.5-2009 standards or ISO 1101-2012 standards

Analyses, shows, and hides tolerance status to monitor the definition progress and catch potential oversights

Pairs tolerances automatically from a source model to a mating model according to the fixed or floating fasteners formulas

Imports 3D annotations from non-SOLIDWORKS formats such as Creo®, NX, CATIA®, and STEP 242

Customises tolerance tables in accordance to the ISO 2768-2012 standard

Provides MBD workflow-friendly part and assembly templates
