👋 Hi, I’m Prashant — The CAD Coder

I’m a Lead Software Developer in the IT department of a mechanical‑engineering company.
Before that, I spent 8 years as a SolidWorks design engineer, so I know exactly where real‑world CAD workflows bog down.

Since 2019 I’ve been automating those bottlenecks with C#, VBA, WPF, and the SolidWorks API (and lately the Autodesk Inventor API).
The CAD Coder exists so other engineers can skip the trial‑and‑error I went through.

💡 Why I Started The CAD Coder

Most CAD‑automation tutorials are outdated, incomplete, or ignore production realities.
This site fixes that by:

• Teaching macros that solve actual engineering problems
• Sharing production‑ready code I use at work
• Bridging the gap between CAD users and developer‑grade automation

---

🧰 What You’ll Find Here

• SolidWorks C# tutorials (WPF + MVVM)
• Reusable code snippets and full walkthrough videos
• Legacy VBA scripts where they still make sense
• Practical tips to cut hours of repetitive CAD work

---

🚀 Start Here

• 👉 Browse SolidWorks C# Tutorials
• 👉 Check out my YouTube channel
• 🎁 Download 5 Free SolidWorks Macros →

Cut hours of repetitive work with real macros I use daily —
for drawing export, renaming files, and updating properties.

If you’re tired of exporting, renaming, or updating properties by hand, you’re in the right place.
Let’s automate that work away together — and if you build something cool from what you learn here, tell me about it.
