  • As-built links + photos

How It Works

  1. 1SolidWorks publishes drawings + properties via its API or scheduled PDM export.
  2. 2Ignite Lean embeds them in work instructions and inspections.
  3. 3As-built links route back as PDM associations.

Recommended Workflows

How SolidWorks works best with Ignite Lean. These are recommended patterns: Ignite Lean fires the trigger, and how SolidWorks routes it (which work group, which device, which rule) is configured to your IT setup.

Released drawing embeds in work instructions
Trigger A drawing is released or revved in SolidWorks
  1. 1The connector pulls the released drawing + viewable.
  2. 2Ignite Lean embeds it in the work instruction at the right step.
  3. 3Operators always see the current drawing on the kiosk.
No printed drawings, no stale rev confusion.
