This SolidWorks tool runs on a selected folder and finds all parts within the folder (excluding sub-folders) and opens them, finds there bounds, thickness, number of pierces etc… It also asks the user for the material and labour costs, quanties and works out the cost to produce the part. All the information is saved into custom properties of the part, and then a drawing created with a 1:1 flat pattern of the part and a note on a separate layer containing the information again. The program then saves the drawing as a SolidWorks drawing, a DXF and a tif.
