Importing and exporting CAD data in Gravity Sketch

Bringing CAD files into Gravity Sketch unlocks true scale collaboration and faster problem‑solving around your team’s engineering data. Many Enterprise teams told us that importing heavy CAD files slowed down their workflow. To remove this barrier, we introduced Cloud Decimation Import. You can now upload large CAD files, automatically decimate them in the cloud, and bring them into your virtual studio at the quality level you choose.

In this 30‑minute session, you will see how to bring a SolidWorks file into Gravity Sketch, ideate around it at 1:1 scale, and export your work for downstream tools. The walkthrough highlights the latest decimation import capabilities for Enterprise teams, along with support for more than 40 new file formats.
