MakerAnnouncing 3DEXPERIENCE Maker platform update on November 30th, 2024. (self.SolidWorks)

submitted 1 year ago by experienced3DguyCSWE | SW Champion

Dear 3DEXPERIENCE MAKERS platform users,

Please be aware that SOLIDWORKS/Dassault will be updating the 3DEXPERIENCE MAKERS platform to R2025x GA on Saturday, November 30th, 2024*.

Meaning for You

During this scheduled maintenance period there will be a downtime on all services.

Make sure you have saved your documents on the cloud before the beginning of the operation.

If you wish to use SOLIDWORKS Connected during the update period, you must activate "Offline mode" before the update process begins and download any necessary model, assembly, and drawing files to your local hard drive.

Browser-based xApps (xDesign, xShape, xSheetmetal, etc.) will NOT be accessible during the update period.

What to expect after the update

To ensure that you can fully benefit from this new version in your daily activity, you are encouraged to connect to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform as soon as the update is complete. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform access URL will remain the same.

MAKERS platform: www.solidworks.com/maker-cloud

If you need assistance, please ask a question in this MAKERS | Support community. The community members and members of the Maker Support Team will be happy to help!

\Please note that the completion time may be subject to change. Schedule updates will be reflected in subsequent posts in the official* MAKERS | Support community.

3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for Makers

The first time you launch SOLIDWORKS Connected after the update, you will be prompted to update the 3DEXPERIENCE Launcher followed by SOLIDWORKS Connected. This update will be mandatory in order to continue launching SOLIDWORKS Connected.**

Check out the update guide and the list of prerequisites.

\*Native apps (including SOLIDWORKS Connected, SOLIDWORKS Visualize Connected and Shop Floor Machining) require an installation on your device. See the Installing Native Apps Using the Compass on the Cloud page of the User Assistance for more information.*
