SOLIDWORKS World What\u2019s New<\/h2>\n

One of the most anticipated events at every SOLIDWORKS World is the sneak peak of the next release of SOLIDWORKS. \u00a0Each year, the Portfolio\u00a0Introduction Team at SOLIDWORKS puts together both a highly informative and, I must say humorous skit to show the audience some of their favorite new features in this technology preview.<\/p>\n

The important thing to note here, is this IS\u00a0<\/strong>a technology preview. \u00a0In year\u2019s past, we\u2019ve limited any recap information at SOLIDWORKS because sometimes features might take a little longer than anticipated to get out there. \u00a0A great example of this was Feature Freeze a few years ago. \u00a0So, please, enjoy the content, but keep in mind, many more features will be added by fall of 2015, some will go away, and some will change drastically.<\/p>\n
