After installation, SOLIDWORKS automatically sets up file associations in the registry. However, these associations may get lost over time. Several symptoms indicate this has happened.
When I decided to redo my backyard, there were a few goals I wanted to accomplish: pour more concrete, replace the grass, and build a garden box. So, I started modeling my design plans in SOLIDWORKS. My initial goal was to confirm how much space there was to incorporate the new features and then determine where to place them - but I was able to use my model for much more than that!
Since SOLIDWORKS 2014 and beyond, eDrawings can animate rotated explode steps in an assembly exploded view. This blog covers the simple steps of adding a rotated step to an existing exploded view and viewing the animation in eDrawings. For this example, we have a flashlight assembly with an existing exploded view.
The Check Your System message is only supposed to pop up every 10th launch of SOLIDWORKS; however, we have seen reports saying that this happens more often and that the messages pop even though the latest supported graphics driver is installed. Our SOLIDWORKS Technical Support team is often asked, “How do I get rid of these SOLIDWORKS Resource Monitor pop-up messages? They keep coming up no matter what I do.”

Welcome to part three of our five-part series that provides guidance on optimizing your workstation purchase for different CAD workflows. This article will focus on Structural and Plastics Simulation. In each article, we discuss which components of the workstation are essential to that particular workflow and develop some sample configurations to help optimize your spending budget.
Traditional SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD software installed on a desktop is no longer the only option. You may have heard other terms, such as 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS Connected. So, what are these new options, how do they differ, and most importantly, how do you choose? We'll break it all down here.
If you want to learn SOLIDWORKS, training is essential to unlock its full potential. Between free online videos and forums, and certified professional training programs, it can be difficult to identify the best training option that fits your learning style and budget. In this blog, we compare free SOLIDWORKS training options to paid SOLIDWORKS training options with a focus on GoEngineer’s training options.
Previously, the registration process required a user to be associated with a serial number to access SOLIDWORKS sites. The number of users able to register to a site was limited to the number of licenses under subscription. In the DSxClient, access is based on a contact’s association to a site with current subscription status, and the number of users is no longer limited.
