The wait is finally over and SolidWorks 2011 has been launched. The launch was done at the SolidWorks headquarters in Concord, MA. As I mentioned in the post SolidWorks 2011 is coming…..!!!!, following fellow bloggers (better to call them friends) were at SolidWorks headquarters getting a close look at the new features and functionality of SolidWorks 2011. Read More details here: Welcome SolidWorks 2011
I'll be interested to hear how people get on with the new version, but like with SW2010, there's no way I'm touching SW2011 it for at least a couple of service packs!!!!
Solidworks 2011 looks like a pretty good addition to the Solidworks family. Of course, like everyone else here, I think I'll be waiting a while before I upgrade my Solidworks version. I have SW2010 and so far, it's been serving me quite well. I have no real need to complain. However, like NikSerer, I'm interested in knowing if plastic parks and molding design have been improved in this version.
