3DEXPERIENCE World 2026 wrapped up in Houston, TX, last week. In case you missed it, here's a recap of some of the key messages and announcements heard during this year’s event.
Modern CAD projects often require seamless sharing of assemblies across organizations, whether for supplier input, customer review, or interdepartmental collaboration. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform’s Export as Package feature for SOLIDWORKS delivers a robust method to bundle and exchange complex assemblies, with powerful version and permissions controls that go far beyond conventional Pack and Go routines.
Revision control is a key reason companies adopt data management systems like PDM/PLM. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform makes it easy (sometimes too easy) to access older file revisions. A common question is, "How can I view only the latest revision without the clutter?" In this blog, we’ll explore three ways to filter search results and focus on the most current version.
The handling of large assemblies can be a huge source of frustration and slowdown for design teams. This is because many popular CAD and PLM tools simply choke on huge or complex models. But you can reclaim that lost productivity (and quality of life) by using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for cloud-based PLM and CAD management. Though based on high-performance CATIA and ENOVIA technology, these benefits are available to users of desktop SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, Inventor, Creo, NX, and more, through CAD program extensions that save your CAD to the cloud.
Here is a rundown of some of the SOLIDWORKS 2026 enhancements in the area of collaboration and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Working with large assemblies can be challenging. Oftentimes, the only way to have the total context of a design is to open all the parts you don’t need to work on, just the parts you do need.
This article explains how to add and use non-CAD documents on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, covering everything from adding files to Collaborative Spaces to converting those files upon release. Let’s get file-ing in 3DEXPERIENCE!
This article outlines how to add 3DEXPERIENCE platform information to a drawing title block, covering everything from property creation to saving the drawing template.
Network drives are a common solution for engineering teams to collaborate. They can be a convenient solution for organizations attempting to centralize their data. Operating from a network drive, however, is about the worst way to access SOLIDWORKS data, and teams using network drives are leaving performance on the table.
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform offers a powerful way to set up a company-specific dashboard with analytics tools that will bring your engineering, design, and business data together in one place. This blog will walk you through creating a dashboard in 3DEXPERIENCE and integrating analytics, so you can start making data-backed decisions without leaving your collaborative workspace.
