It\u2019s time for SOLIDWORKS 2016 and all of the exciting new features and enhancements that come with it. Most years\u00a0users typically have to wait until the website launches and the new release goes live in order to get a first glimpse at some of the new features. \u00a0Then, sometime later in the fall, they can attend a local SOLIDWORKS Reseller Launch Event to see all of the new features demonstrated live.<\/p>\n<p>That changed some last year when a new tradition was born here on the Blogs. You guessed it! We\u2019re bringing back the Sneak Peeks! Over the next few weeks, we\u2019ll be taking a Sneak Peek at 15 exciting new features here on the SOLIDWORKS Blog. Then, when SOLIDWORKS 2016 is launched,\u00a0we\u2019ll discuss those 15 features in short, detailed Deep Dives\u00a0over on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SOLIDWORKS Tech Blog<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to prepare you for your local Reseller Launch Event. I will be updating this post as we move through our Sneak Peeks and Deep Dives\u00a0so that you\u00a0can bookmark and use this post\u00a0as a reference guide.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m very excited to be bringing back this series &#8211; stay tuned. And in the meantime, if you\u2019re like me and can\u2019t wait until Launch Day?
