    “Before this course, I had never touched SolidWorks API, and to be honest, I wasn't even sure how useful it would be for me. But after just a few lessons, I realized how much time I'd been wasting on manual design processes. Vikram's approach to teaching is so practical-he doesn't just show you what to do, he explains why and how it will benefit you in the long run. By the end of the course, I had built my own automation tool that saved me days of work on a project! On top of that, the internship opportunities they offer really show how much Apixpert is Invested in their students success.”

    “Apixpert's SolidWorks API course has been a total game-changer for me. I was confident in my SolidWorks design skills, but I never realized how much the API could simplify and speed up my work. The instructor made everything so clear and easy to understand, even though I had no programming background. Tasks that used to take me hours now only take minutes, thanks to the automation techniques I learned. The best part is, the course is full of practical, real-world examples that I could apply immediately. If you're an engineer looking to boost your skills and save time, this course is a must!”

SolidWorks API course — questions

Do I need programming experience to learn the SolidWorks API?

No. The automation track starts from programming foundations written for CAD engineers and builds up to C# add-ins; you need SolidWorks design basics, which the design courses cover.

VBA macros or C#: which one does the course teach?

Both. The API course opens with SolidWorks macros in VBA and then moves to C#, the language used for standalone add-ins and batch tools — the same API object model throughout.

Is the SolidWorks course live or recorded?

Both, course by course: Recorded + trainer, Live batch. Recorded courses include trainer support and a 1-on-1 doubt-clearing session. Each course card above says which it is.

How long is the SolidWorks API course?

The SolidWorks courses run from 0.5 to 56 hours of training each; recorded courses are self-paced with access to every recording.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. Every completed ApiXpert course issues a certificate with its own number and QR code, which anyone can check on the certificate verification page.

What does the SolidWorks course cost?

Prices are on each course card above in USD; the SolidWorks courses start at $99, and the trial lesson is $3. EMI is available at checkout where the order qualifies.

Where are the classes held? I am outside Tamil Nadu / outside India.

Online, from anywhere — recorded courses play in the ApiXpert player and live batches run online. ApiXpert's training centre is in Bhavani, Erode, Tamil Nadu, India.

What work can I do after the SolidWorks API course?

Design automation for your own team, SolidWorks macro and add-in development, configurators and drawing automation, or freelance CAD automation projects. ApiXpert's Jobs pages list CAD and automation openings and internships.
