When 3DEXPERIENCE users face connection issues while launching Design with SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS Connected, it is often due to a connection issue with the collaborative space. Common signs include blank login dialogs, blank MySession task pane, and specific error messages such as, ‘Unable to connect to 3DEXPERIENCE’ or ‘Failed to establish connection with 3DEXPERIENCE server.’ This article covers a few possible ways to resolve these connection issues.
There are some great new quality and performance enhancements to SOLIDWORKS Visualize 2025. First, Visualize Boost now offers a more user-friendly interface that allows you to use multiple machines for your rendering tasks. With greater stability and machine discovery that has been made easier, you will now be able to set up an impressive rendering farm in no time at all.
Now, with the CircuitWorks add-in available in all levels of SOLIDWORKS (Premium, Professional, and Standard), anyone can open eCAD files. CircuitWorks has a completely overhauled user interface with 2025, including a new look and better scaling to 4K. With just this IDX file, CircuitWorks can build an entire 3D model. The assembly uses volume representations of components, keep-outs, cuts, and more.
Whether you're using drawings or Model Based Definition, SOLIDWORKS 2025 can help you document your designs faster than ever.
SOLIDWORKS PDM 2025 has gotten a lot of attention this year. You'll notice the first update during the PDM client install, where the option to install the SOLIDWORKS Electrical Connector is now available.
There are some great new enhancements to SOLIDWORKS Electrical 2D 2025. Let's get started by opening a few of the drawings from the Proteus Motion V2 project.
For Sheet Metal users, the new features in SOLIDWORKS 2025 are sure to excite. In addition to never-before-seen bend notches, the list of enhancements to existing features is long, so let's dive in.
Automated scanning can be a great benefit to inspection and reverse engineering workflows. The less operator intervention required to complete a proper scan, the better. The Artec Micro II is an accurate, automated, turntable-style scanner, and Artec Studio 18 software pairs brilliantly with it.
New in SOLIDWORKS 2025 is the ability to select a Y-up or Z-up orientation when creating both parts and assemblies from templates. This is great for manufacturing or for vendors who want a Z-up orientation. With SOLIDWORKS 2025, you'll also see huge performance improvement in components with a large number of cosmetic threads.
