The fountain of knowledge that was the SOLIDWORKS Forum looks a little different these days.
The SOLIDWORKS Forum has been connected to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
You can access the SOLIDWORKS Forum User Community here.
How it used to be: the old SOLIDWORKS Forums. As a resource, at its core nothing has changed.
When you search for answers to your SOLIDWORKS-related questions, you’ll still find a host of useful answers amongst a friendly and knowledgeable community of professionals, students, and makers.
All of the questions that have been raised over the years have been migrated to the SOLIDWORKS User Forum on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
When you Google your question, you may find yourself directed to the landing page in what appears to be the old SOLIDWORKS Forum. However, the links to view or reply to the post will take you straight to the thread within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
This platform is hosted by Dassault Systèmes, and is accessible via your 3DEXPERIENCE ID. You do not need to have purchased a license to access this part of the platform.
There you can engage with a wider network of experienced and studious SOLIDWORKS users to expand your knowledge and grow your connections as you develop your skills and navigate your career path.
