Where SOLIDWORKS Inspection is Commonly Used.
SOLIDWORKS Inspection is commonly used by quality, manufacturing, and engineering teams that need to create accurate inspection reports, reduce manual data entry, manage inspection characteristics, and improve quality documentation workflows.
First Article Inspection
Used to create First Article Inspection reports by extracting dimensions, tolerances, notes, and inspection characteristics from engineering drawings and CAD files.
In-Process Quality Inspection
Helps production and quality teams record inspection measurements during manufacturing, making it easier to track whether parts remain within required tolerances.
Ballooned Drawing Creation
Useful when teams need to automatically balloon dimensions, notes, GD&T symbols, hole callouts, and other inspection characteristics instead of manually marking drawings.
AS9102 and PPAP Documentation
Supports teams that need standardized inspection reports such as AS9102 forms, PPAP documents, or custom Excel-based quality templates for customers and suppliers.
CMM and Measurement Data Workflows
Used when quality teams need to enter measured values manually, use digital measuring devices, or import Coordinate Measuring Machine results into inspection projects.
Supplier Quality Documentation
Helps manufacturers prepare clear inspection packages for suppliers, vendors, customers, and internal quality teams with controlled characteristics and report formats.
Drawing Revision Comparison
Useful when teams need to compare drawing or CAD revisions, identify changes, and update inspection projects based on the latest engineering information.
Regulated Manufacturing Quality Control
Used in industries where inspection accuracy, traceability, documentation, and quality reporting are important for compliance and customer requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions About SOLIDWORKS Inspection.
Find answers to common questions about SOLIDWORKS Inspection, including automated ballooning, OCR, inspection reports, CMM data import, supported file types, revision comparison, and quality documentation workflows.
01What is SOLIDWORKS Inspection used for?
SOLIDWORKS Inspection is used to create inspection documentation, ballooned drawings, First Article Inspection reports, in-process inspection reports, and quality control documents faster and with fewer manual errors.
02Does SOLIDWORKS Inspection automatically balloon drawings?
Yes. SOLIDWORKS Inspection can automatically extract and balloon inspection characteristics from SOLIDWORKS drawings, 2D/3D CAD files, and supported PDF documents. This helps reduce manual marking and improves documentation speed.
03What is the difference between SOLIDWORKS Inspection Standard and Professional?
SOLIDWORKS Inspection Standard focuses on creating First Article and in-process inspection documentation using the SOLIDWORKS add-in and standalone application. SOLIDWORKS Inspection Professional extends these capabilities with measurement entry, 2D/3D CAD workflows, CMM result import, and streamlined inspection data handling.
04Does SOLIDWORKS Inspection support OCR?
Yes. When working with PDF or TIFF files, SOLIDWORKS Inspection can use Optical Character Recognition to identify dimensions, tolerances, notes, hole callouts, finish symbols, and GD&T symbols. This helps reduce manual data entry and input errors.
05Can SOLIDWORKS Inspection create AS9102 or PPAP reports?
Yes. SOLIDWORKS Inspection can export inspection reports to Microsoft Excel using standard templates such as AS9102 and PPAP forms. Teams can also use customized Excel templates based on their reporting requirements.
06Can measurement values be entered inside SOLIDWORKS Inspection?
Yes. With SOLIDWORKS Inspection Professional, users can enter measured values manually, use digital measuring tools, or import CMM results into the inspection project for better measurement tracking.
07Does SOLIDWORKS Inspection show pass or fail status?
Yes. SOLIDWORKS Inspection can show graphical pass/fail status for inspection characteristics, helping teams quickly identify dimensions that are in tolerance, out of tolerance, or close to tolerance limits.
08Which file types does SOLIDWORKS Inspection support?
SOLIDWORKS Inspection supports SOLIDWORKS drawings, SOLIDWORKS parts and assemblies with PMI, PDF, TIFF, DXF, DWG, and other 2D/3D CAD file workflows for inspection report creation.
09Can SOLIDWORKS Inspection compare drawing revisions?
Yes. SOLIDWORKS Inspection can compare drawing and CAD file revisions to help teams identify changes and update quality projects more efficiently.
