Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

solidworks-2009-sp1 It’s not everyday, you get to download an upgrade to a new version of software you use almost everyday… actually, you could download this everyday if you wanted to. Maybe wrap it in a croissant, share it with some friends and talk about the good ol’ days when you had to install software off a floppy disk.

You can get the tasty nugget of bug-depleted installation at your local SolidWorks Salon and Candy portal.

For many, you’ve been waiting for SP1.0 to come out to upgrade from the bane of your 2008 experience. Are you going for it? huh, huh are ya?

Glad to report that for the first time in maybe years, the installation manager. It did threaten me to download an extra 1.7 GB if I did another subscription post, but I think it's just an empty threat, I got by with a mere 500 MB download!

Not that the interface will be a little more familiar, it should be a little easier to adjust. we went from 07 to 09 where I work and I've had good response about all of it.

I did the admin Image update and had to do the whole 1.7GB – it's updating now though, so no problems so far.
