Hard to believe that its been three years since the SOLIDWORKS community gathered together in person. In that time, CADSharp has grown over four-fold, from five full-time contractors to over twenty. We’re more excited than ever to talk to SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS PDM customers about their automation needs. You can find us at booth 747. I’ll also be presenting on Monday at 11:15 AM on the topic, “Macros vs Addins vs Stand-Alones”, where I’ll be covering the pros and cons of each program type you can use with the SOLIDWORKS API.

See you in Nashville!
