About this tag
SolidWorks is a 3D CAD design software that can encounter compatibility issues with Windows updates, as seen when the April 2018 Windows 10 upgrade disrupted SolidWorks functionality. Users have reported permission problems on Windows 10 Pro that affect SolidWorks configuration file writing, requiring a reboot to resolve. SolidWorks also creates temporary backup files (tilde files) in the same directory as originals, cluttering folders. On the hardware side, Microsoft Surface devices are used to run SolidWorks for advanced 3D design workflows, such as reimagining classic cars. Additionally, reverse engineering software plug-ins for SolidWorks have been optimized for 64-bit Windows 7 systems to improve scanning tasks.
