### Pros

"Overall Experience positive, particularly in drawing creation,where it provides powerful tools for generating accurate 2d drawing from 3d models.in terms of collaboration it enable teams to share design, track changes,and coordinate projects effectively through cloud connected tools."

"It is the benchmark for all CAD systems, for all its quirks and the cost, SolidWorks remains the software all CAD systems compare themselves to."

"The Simulation for FEA is invaluable for analyzing the strength of assemblies. "

### Cons

"Their certified hardware program and website data feel like a joke, and navigating the site as a paid licensee is a mess."

"Frequent crashes—even on SolidWorks-certified hardware—have forced far too many support calls and lost files."

"After over 10 years of using SolidWorks and paying their expensive annual subscription, I've seen almost no meaningful innovation year over year."
