Automate your engineering deliverables directly from SOLIDWORKS PDM. Generate PDFs, DXFs, STEP files, flat patterns, merged packages, and more using rules, workflows, and vault metadata.












Blue Byte Systems Services
We help engineering and manufacturing teams customize SOLIDWORKS, automate SOLIDWORKS PDM, migrate engineering data, connect business systems, and train teams to build better tools.
Consulting and development
From quick SOLIDWORKS macros to production-ready PDM add-ins and ERP integrations, Blue Byte Systems designs practical software around the way your engineering team already works.
Our certified partner product, PDMPublisher, extends SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional with automated document publishing, PDF merging, exports, and release package generation.
Each engagement can start small, then grow into a supported internal tool, workflow add-in, migration utility, or connected automation platform.
VBA macros, add-ins, task panes, batch tools, drawing automation, and API-driven CAD utilities that remove repetitive model and drawing work.
Connect SOLIDWORKS PDM with ERP, PLM, CRM, databases, web APIs, dashboards, and internal systems without forcing engineers into duplicate entry.
Move legacy CAD files, references, metadata, revisions, and folders into a clean SOLIDWORKS PDM vault with repeatable validation.
Online and in-person training for SOLIDWORKS automation, PDM API development, VBA, and C# add-ins, with practical examples your team can extend.
WPF desktop apps, Office plugins, web APIs, SQL tools, and Microsoft-based engineering software that connects CAD, PDM, documents, and business data.
The work is scoped around your vault, CAD standards, business systems, and team capacity so the final tool fits the environment it will run in.
Review workflows, pain points, vault structure, file types, data sources, and the business outcome the tool needs to support.
Build a focused proof of concept against representative files, variables, workflows, or system endpoints before broad rollout.
Develop the macro, add-in, migration script, connector, or application with clear configuration and deployment paths.
Train users and administrators, document the workflow, and refine the tool as production edge cases appear.


Automate repeatable drawing, metadata, export, publishing, and approval tasks that slow down release cycles.
Keep CAD, PDM, ERP, PLM, and reporting data aligned with fewer copy-paste errors and fewer hidden spreadsheets.
Deliver practical utilities with documentation, configuration, and training so internal teams can keep improving them.
Explore SOLIDWORKS PDM API courses for VBA, C#, add-ins, automation, and practical engineering workflows.
