💡 The Aletiq Plug-in 1.2.0 for SolidWorks allows you to create CAD files from SolidWorks and save them directly in Aletiq . It also allows you to modify CAD managed in Aletiq by opening them in SolidWorks without having to download/upload a file.
⚠️ The plug-in is compatible with SolidWorks versions 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.
