The SOLIDWORKS Enhancement Ideas Community ( https://www.solidworks.com/enhancements ) gives SOLIDWORKS users the ability to submit and vote for their enhancement ideas for SOLIDWORKS products. The community is moderated by the SOLIDWORKS Product Definition team and is an element of their annual research. The goal of this research is to understand which enhancements to SOLIDWORKS products are most important to our users.

To demonstrate the impact of submitting an Enhancement Idea, let us review a small subset of the many enhancements that are new in SOLIDWORKS 2024. Each of these enhancements in SOLIDWORKS 2024 were originally submitted as enhancement ideas to the SOLIDWORKS Enhancement Ideas Community. Click on each enhancement to see a quick video demonstrating the new SOLIDWORKS 2024 functionality:
