Automatic exploded view of the assembly.

Collapse the exploded view.

Parts list: item, part, configuration, quantity, material, mass (optionally a CSV file).

Faces (plane/cylinder/...) and edges (line/circle) with geometry and a pick_point for other tools.

Images of the model from standard views (compare with a drawing, check the result).

Measure like the Measure tool: distance / angle between two entities, or length / area / diameter of one.

Check the model against requirements; returns pass/fail per check and the measured values.

3D-print check: overhang area (needs supports), bed contact, best of six orientations, build-volume fit.

Linear static stress analysis (SolidWorks Simulation): max von Mises stress, displacement, safety factor.

Set the material first (sw_set_material). Loads use faces picked by model points.

A complete wing in one call: blended airfoil sections with taper, sweep, dihedral and twist, lofted and mirrored. Returns area, aspect ratio, MAC and neutral point. Span runs along +X, flight direction +Z.

A propeller: twisted blades with pitch angle atan(P / 2 pi r), hub, shaft bore. Axis Y, thrust +Y.

A fuselage / pod / nacelle lofted through ellipse, circle or rounded-rectangle frames (0 size = point).

A metric fastener part (ISO 4762 / 4017 / 4032 / 7089) with cosmetic thread, in a new document.

A typical part in a new document from a few parameters (all have sensible defaults).

SolidWorks installed/running, release, open documents, and a warning if the geometry kernel looks broken.

Call this first.

Check that SolidWorks answers and its geometry kernel works (zero-volume bodies mean: restart it).

Connect to SolidWorks, starting it if needed - only with the user's permission.

Create a new, empty part, assembly or drawing from the default template and make it active.

Open an existing SolidWorks document and make it active.

Close a document. Refuses if it has unsaved changes unless discard_changes=true (the user is asked).

Create a 2D sketch: lines, polylines (rounded corners), rectangles, circles, ellipses, arcs, polygons, slots, splines, points, centerlines and airfoils (NACA 4/5-digit or .dat).

Entities may carry a pattern (grid / bolt circle), mirror_about, and dimension (driving dimensions, optionally named, so the model can later be changed with sw_set_dimension or equations).

3D sketch of lines, polylines (with bend_radius), splines and 3-point arcs in model mm: sweep paths for tubes, cable routes, frame layouts for sw_structural_member.

Segments, closed contours, dimensions and definition state of a sketch - check a profile before using it.

Extrude a sketch into a solid (boss). With thin_thickness, open sketches become walls.

Remove material by extruding a sketch (pockets, slots, plain holes).

Revolve a profile around its centerline (shafts, discs, bottles, grooves).

Reference plane: parallel at an offset, or rotated about an axis lying in the base plane.

Reference axis along X/Y/Z or through a cylindrical face, for patterns, angled planes and mates.

Round edges with a constant-radius fillet.

Bevel edges with an angle-distance chamfer (prints better than fillets on downward edges).

Hollow out the part, leaving walls of the given thickness.

Mirror features (or bodies) about a plane: build one half of a symmetric part, mirror the rest.

Stiffening rib from an open sketch line inside a pocket or along a wall.

Add draft to faces (moulding, casting, easier 3D-print removal).

Loft through profiles on different planes: wings, fuselages, blades, duct transitions.

Sweep along a path: tubes and pipes, frame rails, wiring, handles, springs.

Helix curve (path for springs, coils, augers, threads).

Coil spring in one call (circle -> helix -> swept wire).

Flat surface bounded by a closed sketch (thicken it into a plate).

Turn a surface into a solid of given thickness (thin skins, shells from surface lofts).

Boolean between bodies of a multibody part: union, subtract, intersect.

Move/rotate a body, or copy it.

Scale all solid bodies (e.g. shrinkage compensation).

Remove a body with a Delete/Keep Body feature (reversible: delete that feature).

Solid and surface bodies with bounding boxes and a pick point for each.

Repeat features in a row or grid (ribs, holes, slots, frame members).

Repeat features around an axis (bolt circles, blades, arms, spokes).

Copy features to every point of a sketch (irregular hole layouts).

Copies along a curve (rivets along an edge, vents along an arc).

Plain holes of any diameter (use sw_hole_wizard for standard fastener holes and threads).

Standard Hole Wizard holes: threaded (tapped), counterbore / countersink for screws, clearance holes.

A real modelled helical thread (printable bolts, nuts, caps) using the SolidWorks Thread feature.

Cosmetic thread (lightweight, shows in drawings) on a shaft or hole edge.

Colour / transparency for the whole document, features, components or faces.

Remove the document-level appearance so the material colour shows again.

Assign a material (affects mass, Simulation).

Suppress or unsuppress a feature.

Delete a feature this server created in this session (others can only be suppressed).

Undo the last operation(s).

Save as a native SolidWorks file (.sldprt / .sldasm / .slddrw).

Export a copy (STEP, IGES, STL, Parasolid, 3MF, PDF, DXF/DWG, PNG/JPG).

Export every matching file in a folder (opened read-only, never saved) to /batch/.

The journal of model-changing operations in this session (file path and the last entries).

Rebuild a model by replaying a journal of operations.

A drawing of a saved part/assembly: three standard views, isometric, dimensions, BOM.

Fill the title block with sw_set_properties on the model first; export with sw_export (pdf/dwg/dxf).

Add one more model view to the active drawing.

Set custom properties (they fill the drawing title block and the BOM).

Read custom properties.

Sheet-metal part from a sketch: closed profile = flat plate, open profile (L/U/Z/hat) = bent part with bends at every corner. Then sw_export_flat_pattern gives the DXF for laser cutting.

Show the sheet-metal part flat (true) or folded (false).

Flat pattern as DXF/DWG for laser / waterjet cutting.

Weldment profile library: standards, profile types and sizes.

Frame members from standard profiles along sketch segments, mitred at the corners (weldment).

Weldment cut list: member groups with quantities, lengths and profiles.
