Description

Kenesto is a cloud-based storage system used to manage engineering, design, construction documents. Less expensive than enterprise PDM software, Kenesto offers automatic file locking, versioning and vaulting, 2D/3D viewing and web-based design review tools that are not available in consumer-grade cloud storage solutions like Dropbox and Google Drive. The solution acts like a mounted disk in customer's office, but with a single source of truth in cloud. File locking prevents users overwriting each other's data. All files are kept in perpetuity. Windows Explorer's familiar user interface allows files and folders to be arranged in the same manner as a C Drive. Kenesto supports workflows and tasks. SolidWorks plugin is free. All files are encrypted and stored in secure AWS S3 storage.

Description

With SOLIDWORKS® Model-Based Definition (MBD), you can define and structure 3D dimensions, tolerances, datums, notes, Bills of Material (BOMs), and various annotations, while also customizing templates for manufacturing documentation like Part or Assembly Specifications, Request for Quote (RFQ), and Incoming Inspection Reports. Additionally, the software allows for publishing in popular formats such as eDrawings®, STEP 242, and 3D PDF, ensuring effective 3D communication. To facilitate the transition to model-based methodologies, SOLIDWORKS Standard incorporates several user-friendly features in every license. Users of SOLIDWORKS Standard can annotate both 3D parts and assemblies, arrange these 3D definitions with annotation views, and communicate effortlessly in eDrawings, all within a fully 3D environment. This integration not only enhances clarity but also streamlines the design and manufacturing processes, making it an invaluable tool for professionals in the field.
