2.6 Customizing with Add-Ins

Add-Ins provide additional features and capabilities to SolidWorks. Some Add-Ins cost extra
and may not be available in your version of the software. They are not part of your template, but
once they are enabled during the session they will remain active until the end of the session.
Although Add-Ins are very useful, they require additional memory. They should be kept disabled
until needed.

Step 11: Click on ToolsAdd-Ins to see
which ones are available in your version of
SolidWorks. See Figure 2.8.

 If available, verify that the following

Add-Ins have a check mark:

SolidWorksToolbox and

SolidWorksToolbox Browser.

 You can add other Add-Ins, but

remember that they use memory and

could slow your computer.
