The add-on for rules a single formula cannot carry: they look the value up in your own table — Excel, CSV, a text file — or work it out. It draws no new geometry, it drives your finished model.
The same platform as the CAD configurator, with stronger rules. A dimension's value need not be an expression of the inputs: the rule reads it from a table you already keep — an Excel sheet, a CSV, a text file, a parts list — or works it out in a way a single formula cannot. The same goes for the price in a form and on the web. The model stays your finished model and no new geometry is created anywhere; only what drives its dimensions and features changes.
Nothing else changes. It is the same configurator — the same steps, the same form, the same outputs, the same finished model. One step differs: where a rule gets its value.
A rule never touches the CAD directly. Whether a formula, a table or code sits behind it, the result is always a value — a dimension, a suppressed feature, a material. Nothing you write into a rule can break your model.
The add-on is designed and we are building it — you cannot add it to a configurator today. Tell us what the calculation behind your dimension actually is, or which table you keep it in, and we will say straight away whether formulas will do. A formula covers more than you expect — and selling you an add-on you do not need is just another invoice.
The difference is in where a rule gets its value from, not in what gets created.
A formula, like in Excel — an expression of the inputs.
A formula too. Plus a value looked up in a table, or a function that will not fit into a formula.
Also from material you already keep: an Excel sheet, a CSV, a text file, a list of materials or standards.
Also read straight from your own rate table.
Nothing new. Your finished assembly, just driven.
The same. Neither of them draws new geometry.
Still you. What changes is how far a rule may reach, not who writes it.
An add-on to a configurator you already have. Never on its own.
Speed. Order after order, over and over.
Development and standard ranges. Parts you cannot draw without calculating them or looking them up first.
All of it in spreadsheets and code, years before the platform. Logic is that work moved into rules — so you do not have to build it again, your own way.
It does not draw new geometry. Neither does the configurator. Both connect to the model, the assembly and the drawing you have already built, and drive them. Your drawing carries your dimensions, your GD&T and your conventions — generating those automatically would mean guessing.
It is not bespoke development. You get it as software and set it up yourself, exactly like a configurator: connect to your own model, define the inputs, and decide what drives the dimensions and features. We do not write it for you.
