SOLIDWORKS Design & Help

Currently, there is no support for SW 2018 on Workbench. Meaning, any integration with Solidworks has basically stopped at the 2017 version. You won't be able to view your models with the browser based viewer and there is no plugin to access your files/assemblies and edit them within that context. All there really is right now is the ability to store files on the GrabCad servers and have access to the version history.

I spoke with a support rep and they mentioned that their resources are allocated elsewhere ATM and that Workbench will continue to be apart of their product lineup. There is just no set date or inclination to get Workbench updated to integrate with SW 2018 or for SW 2019 which is just around the corner.

If you use workbench or want to use Workbench with SW, I would suggest reaching out to support and letting them know you would like the support as well. And, hopefully we can see an update sooner than later.

Thanks for reading,
