SolidWorksReviews of solidworks.com

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.

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

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.

If you're a hobbyist, or trying to learn the program before purchasing the full license, go somewhere else. The entire platform has quit working and, as everyone else has stated, their customer service is absolute trash. They are thieves who steal the money for the maker license, and then refuse to provide a product.

Been using it f15 years - whith 3Dexperience it has become close to unusable - Crashes constantly!

I was told...when we considered buying this permanent licence for Solidworks that I could sell it if i ever so wished. Apparently that was wrong. Im stuck with it. The deal was done with Central Innovations, Auckland NZL who are now refusing to answer any questions on the matter. They were happy to make the sale. Fortunate I'd say. I did do some basic training as suggested and then realised what a monster I had bought - far exceeding my probable usage. Should have bought Autocad Fusion.

This site crashes more than a drunk driver, and its slow on a normal business PC. The interface is mid and overall it's a POS software, rather build the stuff with legos or draw what I need than use this stupid goofy software. DO NOT use this software, it's hammered dog crap. This is my warning!

Sistema di trasferimento licende penoso. Licenza Draftsight installata su più di un PC, ma per non essere mai utilizzata in contemporanea. Per trasferire la licenza da una macchina all'altra occorre disattivarla e attivarla sull'altra. Se ci si dimentica la disattivazione sulla prima, non c'è modo di attivarla anche se ci si trova a distanza e la prima non è accessibile! Disastro!!
