SOLIDWORKS File Management Software
See file dependencies before you copy, move, or rename SOLIDWORKS files.
LinkLattice is a Windows desktop app for engineers and CAD administrators who need a clearer picture of SOLIDWORKS file relationships before making changes. It helps you inspect child references, check where a file is used, and run dependency-aware file operations with less guesswork.
Built for SOLIDWORKS workflows
Local-first file handling
Understand references faster
Review both child references and where-used relationships from one workspace before making file changes that can ripple through assemblies and drawings.
Run safer file operations
Use copy, move, and rename workflows with dependency awareness so file changes are planned instead of improvised.
Work locally and stay in control
LinkLattice is designed for desktop engineering work. Core file analysis and workflow data stay on your own machine.
Who it is for
- mechanical engineers working with SOLIDWORKS assemblies and drawings
- CAD administrators responsible for file structure, control, and cleanup
- teams that regularly copy, move, rename, archive, or reorganize design files
- small and mid-sized engineering groups that need more visibility before changing released data
What LinkLattice helps with
- checking what a selected file depends on before making edits
- checking where a file is used before moving or renaming it
- reducing broken references caused by rushed file-management decisions
- finding files faster through search and custom-property filtering
Key workflows
- Reference visibility: inspect child references and where-used data before touching a file.
- Copy and move workflows: transfer supported files with a clearer understanding of the dependency chain.
- Rename workflows: preview changes and validate naming before applying them.
- Search and filtering: find target files by name and narrow results with custom-property criteria.
- Index status feedback: understand what has already been indexed and what still needs attention.
- Local operation: keep the workflow practical for engineering teams that prefer desktop tools over cloud-heavy systems.
Why this matters in real engineering work
File-management mistakes in SOLIDWORKS rarely stay isolated. A single rename or move can affect assemblies, drawings, and downstream files that other people rely on. LinkLattice is designed to make those relationships easier to inspect before you act, so the workflow becomes more deliberate and less dependent on memory.
