APIs SOLIDWORKS User Group

The SOLIDWORKS API User Group is a community-driven group dedicated to helping users of all skill levels learn, share, and collaborate on SOLIDWORKS API (Application Programming Interface) development. Whether you’re a beginner exploring automation, an experienced developer building add-ins, or a company looking to streamline CAD and PDM workflows, this group is the place for you!
