SwxClickUp

See your ClickUp task without letting go of the model — a task pane next to the feature tree shows what's in progress, done, or waiting for review on this assembly.

See it in action

Loop: the SolidWorks task pane lights up with a ClickUp task next to the 3D model of the assembly currently being worked on.

How it works

  1. Direct view into ClickUp

    Open the task pane

    It docks like a standard task pane next to the feature tree. Sign in once via ClickUp OAuth, and the task list then filters automatically by the open document.

  2. Bulk task assignment by property

    Click a component

    The selected component in the model is matched to a task by part name or the tag you set up in ClickUp. No manual ID copying.

  3. Linking the model and the ClickUp task

    Close the task from SolidWorks

    Status changes, comments, or reassignment can be written straight from the panel. Switching to the browser is only needed for what the task pane can't do.

Floating seats

Five purchased seats cover eight people in the office — a SwxClickUp seat frees up as soon as you close SolidWorks or go 15 minutes idle, and the next colleague gets it right away. You can see it in the add-in too: how many seats are running now and who holds them.

Rolling this out to more than one machine? IT documentation — silent install, called domains, GDPR. Step-by-step from install to troubleshooting is in the documentation (Czech only for now). See what changed in each version in the changelog.

SwxClickUp installs in a few MB as a standard SolidWorks add-in via MSI. Supports SolidWorks 2023 to 2026, 64-bit, Windows 10 and 11.

FAQ

Does it work with SolidWorks PDM?

Yes, the task pane reads the open document regardless of whether it's under PDM management. The add-in doesn't change anything in PDM.

Where is my ClickUp login stored?

The OAuth token stays only on your computer, in your Windows user profile. SwxClickUp only sends a license check to the HowItSolid server, never task content.

What happens if the company hasn't bought enough seats?

A colleague who doesn't fit gets a message in the add-in showing how many seats are taken and when one is likely to free up — SolidWorks doesn't crash, the task pane just doesn't load.
