SolidWorks is one of today’s most popular CAD programs that helps users create 3D structural models through a component-based approach. We are currently on 2021 which has some nice enchantments but from my experience it is MUCH slower than 2018. I would only add that for me 20 were worst (slowest and most buggy) versions.Ģ018 was so good, stable and fast. Save defeatured models as configurations, change between full and simplified versions (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), and mimic other configurationsĪlso: If you make harnesses electrical 2021 is a no brainer (according to my co worker) because of this: Use multiple wires or cables to pass through and arrange through clips geometry in LDR (HUGE, I think)Īdjust patterns in LDR (if they improve on that - namely make pattern driven creation available it'll fix all our fastener issues)
Hopefully we can keep using these older versions (that still work great!) for a long time to come!!ĭon't get me wrong there are some really cool things added to the new builds - but there's also something to be said for just opening your files (quickly) and knowing everything will workĢ018 is a safe choice because of the following features:īounding box, mirror sketches around planes, tab & slot, three bend corner reliefsĢ018 did not introduce too many new features & was fast & stable.īut there are features from almost every version that I REALLY do not want to miss:Ĭreate mates to ref. And I'm with you regarding the nostalgia! I've always had a place in my heart for 2015, and I'm still rocking that build on a windows 10 machine. Thanks Damo you bring up some great stuff here. That and if solidworks remotely sabotages it will likely be the only reasons I will have to discontinue use of 2014. We have a perpetual license and all the offline install files, inc SP5.Ģ014 still works in Win 10, but this may change with future WIndows updates and SW Lack of support for newer OS's. I will continue to use my 2014 vers as long as is possible. But I still revel in the happiness of opening my old files that I have been able to avoid updating form 2014 and they still work perfectly fine.
I've tried: 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021 and now I also have 2022 and I haven't been as happy with any of them. And my happiness and expectations have lowered exponentially since. Not to mention the makework of new templates, etc. Nostalgia perhaps, but every cool experience and powerful new ability it gave me for our business was from 2014.Įvery update along the way since has seemed to only bring new issues, fresh bugs and unnecessary changes in everything from icon locations and colours to workflows.
I learnt to use SW with this and worked quite happily for a few years. I am actually surprised mine hasn't been mentioned yet.Ģ014 was my first experience with SW.
