SOLIDWORKS users are passionate. We love that about you.

SOLIDWORKS employees are also passionate about the product we deliver. We take pride in SOLIDWORKS, and in our relationship with you and responding to your feedback. We want you to love SOLIDWORKS.

We know that some of you are not happy with the SOLIDWORKS 2016 user interface. We are listening, we are working on it, and we will share more about our plans in the coming weeks.

On behalf of the entire SOLIDWORKS User Experience and R&D team,

--Tom Spine
