August 20

3DEXPERIENCE is a cloud-based solution and updates and fixes are pushed to it from time to time, it is important to keep your 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS or 3DEXPERIENCE CAD updated so you get access to the newest features and bug fixes.

 

As a SOLIDWORKS user, you will most likely receive information from new updates to the platform when launching SOLIDWORKS, a message box will display your current version and the version of the newest available update:

When you click on the “Get Update”-button, SOLIDWORKS will redirect you to the platform, but it will NOT start automatically updating itself. As user, you need to activate the update by yourself from the platform.

  1. Navigate to your SOLIDWORKS-role on the compass on the platform
