Thanks to technology, there are more ways than ever to make woodworking plans. While some hobbyists still design by hand using a pencil and graph paper, 3D CAD woodworking software can help you create more accurate plans. And when it’s time to build, it can output automatic bills of materials and cut lists that tell you what you’ll need and even how to cut each piece to length.

SOLIDWORKS for Makers is the best CAD software for woodworking. It’s collaborative, accurate, and easy to take with you on-the-go. It’s cloud-connected, so you can easily share your designs and access them anywhere, from any device. And it provides the tools you need to sketch, dimension, model, and render your designs, plus useful lists for materials and instructions for cutting.
