What’s New in Browser-Based Design for 2025?

The SOLIDWORKS xApps are redefining how, where, and what you can design. Here are just a few of the latest enhancements that are changing the game:

• 2D Authoring & Dimensioning: Easily switch between 2D and 3D workflows with enhanced drawing tools.

• Auto-Generate 3D Annotations & Views: Cut down time and eliminate errors in your model documentation.

• "S" Key Command Search: Find and execute commands faster with a contextual search tool available across xApps.

• DFM Helper: Identify manufacturability issues before they become production problems.

• Picture to Sketch: Convert hand-drawn or image-based ideas into editable parametric sketches.

• Subdivision Modelling in xShape: Sculpt with finesse using tools like crease commands, mirror geometry, and dynamic mesh inspection.

• Assembly Enhancements: Use Smart Mates, improved search, and zoom-in tools to streamline large assemblies.

• Connected Documentation: Automatically capture PMI, flatten sheet metal views, and generate bend tables in xDrawing.

• xStudio for Rendering: Seamlessly integrate your CAD model into rendering and marketing content creation.

Why Go Browser-Based?

Your team’s productivity shouldn’t be tied to a single device. Browser-based design means you can:

• Access your tools from any device

• Collaborate in real-time

• Stay agile in remote or hybrid work environments

• Avoid software installation and updates

• Scale your tools as your projects grow

With all your design tools in a digital toolbox powered by 3DEXPERIENCE Works, your workflow stays uninterrupted, and your creativity never has to wait.
