The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform sees many updates and enhancements throughout the year - typically every two months with a "Function Delivery" (FD) release. One of these, 2024 FD3.0, happened in early July, and it added a great new feature for SOLIDWORKS users who are taking advantage of the cloud data management benefits of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.
There used to be a misconception about using 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, suggesting that you must be connected to the internet at all times to use your seat of SOLIDWORKS. However, since 2022, users can work offline with Offline Mode. Offline Mode allows users to continue their work in 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS when there is no internet connection available.
In a previous blog, we discussed how to access the history of a file in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform using the Collaboration & Approvals app. Until the April 2024 FD2.0 update, this was the only way to see this information on a file. It's now even easier to view these details (and with a lot more information) with the new History tab in the information window.
Creating User Groups on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform can help save time when assigning roles, sharing dashboards, sharing files, and more.
