The ability to tag features within a solid model was added with the release of SolidWorks 2008. This sometimes under-utilized capability may go unnoticed by many. After all, the function to add tags is a tiny little icon in the far right corner of the status bar. SolidWorks Labs has developed an improved user interface for tagging in the form of an add-in called Tagger. Within its own task pane, it allows the user to see all of the tags used within the open SolidWorks document. Users can even select specific tags as favorites that can be easily applied to a feature at any time. To use the tags, simply click on the term in the Tagger task pane. This will highlight the the associated features within the FeatureManager. This add-in from SoildWorks Labs adds new functionality that makes tags all the more useful.

As a drafter, mechanical designer and CAD engineer, I've been in the mechanical design field since 1991.
For the first 8 years of my career, I was an AutoCAD professional. I utilized AutoLISP and many other AutoCAD customization features to streamline drafting activities for 6+ drafters and designers. I authored several custom functions, one of which was published in the March 1997 issue of Cadalyst Magazine.
Since 1998, I've been used SolidWorks non-stop. I've worked to utilize the SolidWorks' user environment to simplify drafting and design activities for 20+ engineers. I've created this website to provide current information about SolidWorks from a variety of contributors.
More recently, I am now employed by Dassault Systemes as SOLIDWORKS Sr. Product Definition Manager to improve drawing, annotation and MBD related areas.
