SOLIDWORKS Design 2026 introduces smarter routing tools that bring real-world manufacturing needs directly into your design process.

Whether you're working with hydraulic hoses or electrical harnesses, new features help you model protective layers, organize cables, and streamline documentation—without slowing you down.

Coverings can now be layered, saved, and reused across projects, while electrical routing benefits from sketch-guided automation that simplifies path creation and reduces errors. These updates make it easier to design for durability, weather resistance, and installation efficiency.

Even drawing sheets adapt more flexibly, with automatic formatting that preserves layout and clarity across different sizes.
