SOLIDWORKS 2016 Demo and Launch Event Proceedings

A big thank you to all our customers that tuned in for the Canadian SOLIDWORKS 2016 Launch Broadcast in October. We were able to run a live SOLIDWORKS 2016 demo and show the updated user interface, new tools, and process enhancements to help designers get their work done faster and easier than ever before.
