What is Workbench
GrabCAD Workbench is Midnight Sun's file management software for mechanical documents. It's like Github but it's designed especially for CAD files. With GrabCAD Workbench, you can preview solidworks assemblies and parts in a web browser. GrabCAD Workbench also has a solidworks add-in to help with workflow.
