SOLIDWORKS Design release R2026x FD01 is now available. Enhancements include AI features that you can try today, including:
- Install Multiple Versions of SOLIDWORKS Design: Collaborate more efficiently with others who use a different version. Quickly and easily create shortcuts and modify existing installations.
- AI-powered Drawing Generation Through Prompts (Beta): Tell your AI design virtual companion exactly what you need before the drawing is created. Set your template/standards and primary view, refine the preview with prompts, then generate and save the drawing to your chosen file path.
- AI-powered What’s Wrong Analysis (Beta): Fix part model errors faster with AI-guided root-cause analysis. Cut through cascading warnings to find what actually broke, and get clear guidance on how to resolve errors by interacting with your AI virtual companion.
- AI Assembly Structure Generator (Beta): Ask your AI virtual companion to generate an assembly structure from a prompt. Start with a ready-made baseline, iterate with prompts (remove/replace components, change hierarchy), then generate SOLIDWORKS assembly and part files.
