Promote Enhancement Request

There has been the big drive on the other site for the top 10 for enhancement request. They always say that the include the standard enhancement request into the top 10 and I have seen a few post here that are kind of specific to a users request. I thought having just a topic where we could just add our request and link them to the other site would be a great way to get some good ones implemented.

Make SolidWorks desktop version usable on other Operating Systems besides Windows.

This should probably be moved to the SW enhancement request category.

Not to rain on your ER, but the desktop verison is so tied to the hip with Windows I can’t see this happening without a total rewrite of the desktop software which isn’t likely to happen. Would be a huge and expensive project for so few users. They will just say, use the xDesign cloudworks version which runs in a browser on any OS.

That said, I bet their cloudworks version records some metrics about which OS their users are using so it would be interesting to see how many people are on a MAC or Linux.

I think that is what I saw even the cloud versions are requiring win 11
This was just a neat request that I saw. I like it. just wanted to promote it and I could not find how to move this post to the enhancement area. I can find it but not how to move the post there.

I think it’s worth mentioning just so they know the interest.

I move the post.
