Nothing creates more excitement among our passionate users than the annual release of our flagship SOLIDWORKS software, and this year will certainly be no different. That is because SOLIDWORKS 2023 offers new features and enhancements that will help our users work smarter, faster and together. You can learn all about this exciting new release here<\/a> but we asked SOLIDWORKS CEO Manish Kumar to break it down and focus on the new enhancements he thinks will generate the most excitement among our users.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Q: What are you most excited about in SOLIDWORKS 2023 release?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: The more I talk to users, the more I get the importance of performance related to large assemblies. We have always focused on this area, but by giving choices to the users, we have made life a bit more complicated than it should be.<\/p>\n

In SOLIDWORKS 2023, we have provided to our users with an option named as \u201cAutomatically optimize resolved mode, hide lightweight mode.\u201d By selecting this option, users do not have to decide between resolved and lightweight mode anymore. We make our user\u2019s life simple by getting rid of one more decision from their life. By using this option, every assembly user opens will open very fast and we will take care of loading the right data.<\/p>\n

Q: How will this release make life easier for users?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A: Like every other release, SOLIDWORKS 2023 offers many enhancements that will help our users on a daily basis and will make their life easier. Let me pick the top three enhancements in my view:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fast Mate Repair<\/strong> – Repair of missing mate references has been greatly improved with quick access and quick interaction to repair missing mate references. This was a big hit with users during Beta events.\"\"<\/li>\n
  2. BOM Filter in Drawings<\/strong> \u2013 Similar to Excel, our BOM tables now have \u201cfilters\u201d at the top of each column.\"\"<\/li>\n
  3. Transparency in Drawing Views<\/strong> \u2013 We now allow you to see-through a transparent component or body in HLV and HLR display states in drawings.
    \n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Q: SOLIDWORKS built its reputation around making CAD accessible. How does SOLIDWORKS 2023 continue this legacy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A: Early on, SOLIDWORKS had made a promise to put CAD on every engineer\u2019s desktop. At this point, our goal is to expand the reach of CAD and make it accessible to everyone interested in it, whether you are a maker, a student or a life-long learner trying to develop new skills. After all, you don’t have to be an engineer anymore to create.<\/p>\n

    Another goal is to make it available on any device, from anywhere. To help on these fronts we have done multiple things.<\/p>\n

    Complete functionality of SOLIDWORKS, augmented with the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Platform and a best-in-class CAM solution from DELMIA (NC Shop-Floor Programmer) is available to any maker, hobbyist or life-long learner at an extremely affordable price point of $10\/month. This offer also includes 3D Creator<\/a> and 3D Sculptor<\/a>, with which CAD is now accessible from anywhere, and from any device. If you have not already done so, I urge you all to check out 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for Makers offer<\/a> at our website.<\/p>\n

    For students we offer two packages<\/a> and they get both at an extremely affordable price of $60\/year ($5 per month). These include:<\/p>\n
