I've never seen such a bad paid interface in my entire life! I could tolerate it if it were free, but no, I'm paying! I don't understand why they made such a terrible interface, because SolidWorks has immense capabilities. The customer service is just as bad as the interface... I recommend it if you're looking for good CAD software, but you have to be able to keep your cool for several hours...

Bought a one year licence. Needs update to launch. Being denied access, I can only conclude one thing. Total shite! Now using Autodesk Inventor without any issues.

Solidworks, like other ££££ CAD software is capable, very capable however Dassault Systemes have made the user experience extremely complicated from download to design. The overall experience is so infuriating that I am warning prospective users to choose another provider. I can not express this clearly enough: DO NOT USE Dassault Systemes products if you just want to design things quickly and easily without too much complication. The HotFix for patch releases does not work very well at all. The offline version of Solidworks requires a login to 3D Experience for some unknown reason and the 3D Creator navigation is a mess for web app based CAD. It is so bad.

I have purchased a one year subscription of Solidworks. However, the usability of the software is very poor. The whole SolidWorks environment is very messy and it appears like patch after patch has been added. So I requested a refund which I am entitled to as promised by Solidworks. This refund still hasn't been paid to me. This is after more than 10 days and several requests. I only get automatic replies. The customer support is not existent to the point that it ends up being like a scam. Stay away. There are much better solutions on the market, especially if you are not invested in this product yet. Don't waste your time learning it.

Hanno un furbissimo sistema commerciale truffaldino, omettono informazioni importanti sulla frequenza dei pagamenti, sul fatto che i pagamenti sono anticipati anche se per tutta la fase di contrattazione sono sempre espressi annualmente. Difficile credere che sia un caso, è un sistema collaudato che da più di un decennio ci riserva sorprese OGNI volta che abbiamo a che fare con loro. Le offerte vengono mandate via testo mail e le info più delicate vengono comunicate telefonicamente, in modo che non ci sia nessuna documentazione ufficiale e che possano disattendere la parola data. I contratti inviati lasciano spazio a libere interpretazioni quindi la delusione è assicurata! Sul loro sito non c'è modo di mandare una recensione e la chat permette solo di aprire ticket! In tutto questo il software ha molti bugs e va in conflitto con la maggior parte degli altri software, richiedendo l'utilizzo di una macchina dedicata! Una macchina per soldi niente male!! Consiglio di tornare al tecnigrafo

Unfassbar schlechtes Programm nicht nur von der Bedienung her schlecht, es stürzt auch noch die ganze Zeit ab.

Tot nu toe geen negatieve ervaringen met downtime en dergelijke gehad maar ik gebruik dit pas net een maandje. En in die korte tijd ben ik helemaal gewend geraakt. Dit programma is ontzettend krachtig, zelfs voor hobbyisten en voor thuisgebruik betaalbaar. De versie voor professionals is onbetaalbaar, maar DS heeft hier duidelijk rekening gehouden met niet-commerciële gebruikers. Dat is geweldig. De software voelt, als je een paar dagen de tijd neemt om het te leren, echt ontzettend intuïtief. Het werkt hetzelfde als vroeger op een tekentafel met een potlood, een lineaal en een passer. Lijntjes trekken op papier en daar afmetingen bij zetten. Deze software kan werkelijk alles dat een beetje technisch is in 3D maken. En je kunt de afmetingen heel exact met hoge precisie definiëren, bijvoorbeeld voor de 3D printer met 0.1mm tolerantie. Hopelijk blijft dit voorlopig goed werken want ik ben helemaal tevreden op dit moment!

Bonjour, J’espère que ce message sera lu par quelqu’un chez Dassault Systèmes. C’est tout simplement lamentable. Dans un premier temps, on vous impose la version "cloud", avec des mises à jour toutes les trois semaines. Résultat : perte des liens, disparition des pièces personnalisées, ou alors nécessité de désinstaller et réinstaller le logiciel en entier. Après des mois de demandes, vous finissez par nous repasser en version locale… mais ce n’est pas mieux. Le logiciel plante sur de simples esquisses 3D, rate des sauvegardes et devient totalement instable. Franchement, certains logiciels gratuits font mieux, c’est aberrant. Et que dire des versions Standard / Pro / Premium ? Même en Premium, censé offrir des outils avancés, on se retrouve avec un module piping qui perd sa bibliothèque de composants… totalement inutilisable. Mon expérience avec SolidWorks ne fait que se dégrader au fil du temps.
