We Know How Frustrating SolidWorks Problems Can Be

When your business depends on SolidWorks, downtime isn't just annoying — it's costly.

Crashes and Graphics Glitches

SolidWorks crashes opening assemblies, graphics display incorrectly, or RealView won't enable. Your engineers lose work and waste time.

Large Assemblies Take Forever

Opening, rotating, or rebuilding large assemblies is painfully slow. Engineers wait minutes for the simplest operations.

PDM Vault Problems

Can't check files in or out, vault connection drops, or database errors prevent access to your design files.

License Server Failures

Users can't get licenses, floating licenses won't release, or the license server crashes. Work stops while you troubleshoot.

SolidWorks Support FAQ

No — we provide IT infrastructure support, not CAD training. We keep your licenses, vault, and workstations running. For SolidWorks training, work with your VAR (value-added reseller) or a certified training provider.
We support the IT infrastructure for PDM — SQL Server database, vault server, archive server, and client deployment. For workflow configuration and data card design, work with your SolidWorks VAR.
We recommend SolidWorks-certified NVIDIA Quadro or AMD Radeon Pro cards. The right card depends on your model complexity — we can help spec appropriate hardware for your workload.
Yes. We help with license server migration, PDM vault moves, and workstation deployment including proper driver installation and configuration.
For cloud-based SolidWorks, we support the local infrastructure requirements — network optimization, browser configuration, and ensuring reliable cloud connectivity.
