General Information
SolidWorks supports Windows XP Professional x64 Edition (64-bit) for SolidWorks 2005 SP4.0 and later. For the latest information on system requirements, see http://www.solidworks.com/pages/services/SystemRequirements.html
Installation
If you apply an early visibility service pack, you can select Do not remove the existing installation of SolidWorks. When selected, the early visibility version is installed as a separate installation from your current SolidWorks software. You will have two SolidWorks software installations; the original version is not overwritten. Early visibility versions are indicated by an "ev" in the service pack name (for example, sw2005-3.0-4.0ev-i.msp).
Fundamentals
Both Ctrl+C and Ctrl+X copy files and folders within the SolidWorks File Explorer. Previously, both actions cut items.
Drawings
When you right-click a drawing view and select Properties, you can select Show Envelope. This displays assembly envelope components in the drawing view.
Detailing
Balloons
A new option, Leader justification snapping, is available in Tools, Options, Document Properties, Notes. This option allows the leader in a balloon to snap to one side of the balloon.

Documents in the JIS standard now have Groove Angle and Root Opening options for weld symbols. |
