Con­tour­Trace sim­pli­fies the con­ver­si­on of ras­ter images such as BMP and JPEG to vec­tor for­mats such as DXF and SVG. The soft­ware excels at extrac­ting pre­cise object con­tours, making it ide­al for mea­su­re­ment, inspec­tion, design and manu­fac­tu­ring app­li­ca­ti­ons. It is par­ti­cu­lar­ly effec­ti­ve in the pro­duc­tion of foam inserts and shadow boards as it stream­li­nes the pro­cess from image to finis­hed contour.

Cus­tom Tool­bar is a free add-in for SOLIDWORKS CAD. It adds up to 5 addi­tio­nal tool­bars to the SOLIDWORKS user envi­ron­ment. The­se tool­bars, as well as all other SOLIDWORKS tool­bars, can be free­ly cus­to­mi­zed. Thus, stan­dard com­man­ds of SOLIDWORKS as well as macro but­tons can be pla­ced in the­se toolbars.

Macros in SOLIDWORKS allow you to auto­ma­te pro­ces­ses that are per­for­med by the user, for examp­le, through the user inter­face using the mou­se and key­board. Recur­ring tasks can be stored in a macro and exe­cu­t­ed with a sin­gle mou­se click. This saves a lot of time for ever­y­day tasks. In this sec­tion you will find some examp­les of macros, free of charge!
