The answer is Collaborative Designer for&nbsp;SOLIDWORKS. It happens when you connect your existing&nbsp;SOLIDWORKS&nbsp;desktop license to the&nbsp;<strong>3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Platform.

Everything you need is integrated in the&nbsp;SOLIDWORKS&nbsp;Task Pane, so you don\u2019t have to leave your familiar&nbsp;SOLIDWORKS&nbsp;environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A bulk upload tool is even included to help you automate migrating your data to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/solidworksblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/fig201.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Pushing new revisions and managing lifecycle operations is a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/solidworksblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/fig202.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>All users have visibility into what other team members are working on and can communicate through apps built into the platform.

There\u2019s nothing to install.&nbsp;You can choose either quarterly or annual subscription terms. Support is included and updates are automatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing about your current&nbsp;SOLIDWORKS&nbsp;licensing has to change. In fact, you don\u2019t even have to be running the current version. Cloud data management is supported on the current plus two prior&nbsp;SOLIDWORKS&nbsp;versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike traditional data management software, there\u2019s minimal admin or IT overhead. Any settings you want to adjust are accessible from any browser, but most users can be successful right away with the out-of-the-box setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/solidworksblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/fig205.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What next?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For whatever reason, you haven\u2019t yet found your ideal data management solution for&nbsp;SOLIDWORKS.
