With 2026 XFD01. You can now manage and publish SOLIDWORKS material libraries as 3D experience platform managed objects directly from within SOLIDWORKS using Material Definition application. This enables centralized material management on the 3D experience platform, supporting controlled material definitions and downstream platform applications. 2026 XFD01 helps improve standards consistency and reduce 3D experience connected disruptions by allowing administrators to manage bookmark based file locations directly in the Settings Administrator tool without editing. In SOLIDWORKS, design. Also, users now have a dedicated option to disable automatic bookmark driven location updates when background syncing may conflict with other connector operations. 2026. FD01 Allows users to simplify content discovery and management with the brand new Content Explorer application. Content explorer gives SOLIDWORKS users a familiar Windows Explorer like experience to quickly find, organize, and share platform content with a minimal learning curve. You can easily filter your content to show SOLIDWORKS parts, assemblies, or drawings, as well as quickly search objects based on keywords. In the 2026 FD01 Configuration Manager for physical products or representations. 3D experience users can now use the Display Data Mark menu command to add or remove display data marks on configurations. The display data marks that you specify persist after you update models for 3D experience compatibility. This gives you clearer control over configuration display states, and improves performance and preview accuracy when using large design review. SOLIDWORKS Visualize and eDrawings. 3D experience. Administrators who manage multiple user licenses now receive an email reminder in the SOLIDWORKS marketplace. Add in the reminder prompts them to activate their licenses if they missed the original activation email. This help SOLIDWORKS admin users complete tenant activation promptly, enabling access to platform services for their teams. The reminder also includes a link to a help topic that explains how to activate the platform. Using 2026 FD01, users can improve traceability and enforce standardization by assigning enterprise item numbers or EINs When users create new parts or assemblies within SOLIDWORKS, the new EIN tab in the new Part dialog allows an EIN number to be created upfront when the object is created on the 3D experience platform. Users can benefit from reduced downstream rework and help maintain consistent item identification across teams and systems. In 2026 FD01 3D experience users can now set an option to enable the always keep previous iteration option in the save to 3D experience dialog box. This means you no longer need to manually select keep Previous iteration each time to create the new iteration. This helps prevent accidental overwrites and protect design history. With updates to 2026 FD01 3D experience. Users can link Bill of materials columns to PLM attributes directly from the platform. The PLM attributes can be both default attributes and custom attributes. These attributes update when you connect to the platform. This helps ensure accuracy and consistency and powering reliable product decisions. With 2026 FD01 3D experience, users can now open a document in SOLIDWORKS design with the latest revision of its first level. References automatically. The app ensures that parts assemblies drawings always use the most current in-work data from the 3D experience platform. This ensures you always work with the current in-work data, the saving time, reducing errors and keeping designs aligned with team updates while preserving control over released and frozen revisions. With 2026 FD01 3D experience, users can now apply a single unified data format across SOLIDWORKS design and 3D experience apps from the preferences in the platform. When you select ISO 8601, all PLM date properties in SOLIDWORKS design display in the same format. Applying the ISO 8601 format ensures that dates appear consistently across all users and regions. This standardized format removes regional differences, improves communication across global teams, and keeps data consistent.
