SolidWorks IDF Modeler

The SolidWorks IDF Modeler is a bi-directional IDF translator. IDF is an industry standard that allows the exchange of PCB design data between ECAD and MCAD systems. You can create SolidWorks assemblies of your PCB designs. You can also modify the SolidWorks PCB assembly and send the changes back to the PCB CAD system. This is a cost competitive alternative to buying SolidWorks Premium to get CircuitWorks.
