The upgrade is SolidWorks Premium for the price of Standard. Here’s the SolidWorks comparison. To give you a better idea of what you’re getting and somethings to think about take a look at this.
Some things you may care about that are included in Premium are the following:
- eDrawings (full version) for collaboration
- PhotoView360 for rendering
- Feature Recognition (not too shabby for simple stuff)
- SolidWorks Toolbox for massive hardware library
- CircuitWorks for PCB Design
- SolidWorks Routing for Piping/Tubing
- Revision Control
- Assembly/Mechanism Simulation
Of course, you have ‘no additional cost’… which means you have to go on subscription, if you’re not already.
A couple other things to note:
If you’re on a network license, you can add a seat to that. This would allow anybody to use the Premium level features on a first come, first serve basis. Your reseller probably has some other strings they can pull. It’s the last couple months of the year, so hit them up about other options. Unfortunately, if you just spent all summer selling puppies and bought 20 Standard seats in August, you’re probably out of luck on this promo, but I’d check to see if they can retro-activate you. pormo aaaway, young solidworks user.
Call them up or find out more via SolidWorks.
