How does it work?


myCADtools AI is based on artificial intelligence connected to a document database including :

  • Official myCADtools & myPDMtools documentation
  • User guides and tutorials
  • SOLIDWORKS best practices

AI doesn't replace technical support, but it does enable you to find an instant answer to your most frequently asked questions.



  Examples of questions you can ask


  • "How do I create a BOM with SmartBom?"
  • "How can I automate the export of all my plans?"

  • "How do I drill at an angle in SOLIDWORKS?"


You can ask technical, functional or even practical questions. AI understands the context and guides you towards the best solution.




Tip


The more precise your question, the more precise the answer. For example:


"Create a part
"How do I create a part with a simple extrusion in SOLIDWORKS?"
