SOLIDWORKS dimensions are great for the designer but can be difficult for the manufacturer to read. SOLIDWORKS has a built-in tool called DimXpert to make sure you create manufacturing-ready dimensions for your machinists.

DimXpert is a tool that allows designers to create dimensions that are suited for manufacturing drawings as opposed to using dimensions used while designing. When a designer creates a part model and builds its features the information used is not always significant to how the part should be manufactured.

That is where the DimXpert tool comes into play. DimXpert is a quick and intuitive tool to add appropriate datums, plus and minus tolerances, geometric tolerances, location dimensions, size dimensions and more. Streamline your design process by using the DimXpert command to record your dimensions and tolerances and then import those that data into your manufacturing drawings with a few clicks.
