SOLIDWORKS Packaging and Naming Updates - 2025x FD03

 

Browser-based Role Updates - Chris Pagliarini

More Value, Same Power, Simplified Packaging

We’re excited to announce a major step forward in how we deliver value to our customers and partners with a new browser-based role, SOLIDWORKS xDesign (X0W-OC). This new role will replace the existing SOLIDWORKS Cloud Package (SWO-OC) with an all-in-one role that brings clarity, consistency, streamlined packaging, and added functionality at no additional cost.

 

What's Changing

We're moving from a multi-role package to a single, powerful xDesign role that includes everything you already use, plus more.

SOLIDWORKS xDesign includes the following apps:

  • xDesign - Cloud-native parametric CAD
  • xShape - Subdivision modeling for organic shapes
  • xDrawing - 2D and 3D documentation
  • xFrame - Structure and weldment design
  • xSheetMetal - Purpose-built sheet metal design tools
  • xMold (Value Add) - Mold design tools previously not included in the SOLIDWORKS Cloud Package
  • xStudio - Rendering and visualization
    • Credit Pack - Access to compute credits and services included with the xStudio

 

What this means to you

  • No loss of functionality - Everything you rely on in the SOLIDWORKS Cloud Package is included in the new role
  • More value - Get access to xMold, a new addition for SOLIDWORKS Cloud Package customers, free of charge
  • Simplified experience - One role, one license, all your tools in one place
  • Simplified messaging and marketing - One name and one identity for our core browser-based solutions

 

What to know for Sales and Partners

  • The SOLIDWORKS xDesign role (X0W-OC) and SOLIDWORKS xDesign offer (XWZO-OC) will be the primary focus for all browser-based solution sales, renewals, and marketing communications. 
  • The SOLIDWORKS xDesign Offer (XWZO-OC) will be updated to include this new role. There will be no change in pricing.
  • The SOLIDWORKS Cloud Package (SWO-OC) will be moved to controlled availability (CA), effective R2025x FD03.
  • All customer transitions at the time of renewal should follow the guided migration plan, ensuring smooth renewals and continuity.
