Updated to 2023 SP0.1 and two days in it’s been so far so good.
Because everything linked to everything and can’t be split up.
Google took a while to split up Android so they can update what needed update and not the whole OS.
It’ll take much longer while for other software companies to catch up, if they are going to.
Don’t need to “update” 2022 to 2023.
Both can run on same computer, at the same time (I had 4).
Just keep files in different folders (SW2022, SW2023).
2023 SP1 EV has been released yesterday .. so you should see the full release in a few weeks.
345 SPR’s were fixed for this release.
Figured I’d post this here for those interested. A video comparative of opening files in 2022 vs 2023.

My apologies, forgot to link the article as well.
Like many others, I’ll wait until at least SP2.0.
I’m definitely not an early adopter.
I’ll wait till at least SP5.1
I just shift to 2023 1.0 from 2022 5.0 and feel blown away with graphic performance. It feels so much faster in large assembly.
That’s really good to know. Thanks for sharing that. How is the rest of it running?
I upgraded to 2023 SP1.0.
Opened an existing part, started a new drawing of that part. The first circular cutout I selected with the smart dimension tool placed the text “” instead of the diameter symbol (circle with a slash through it).
Thanks for the link.
I remember this same issue a few releases back and note that the date on the blog is 2015.
I uninstalled 2023 and went back to 2022 SP5.0. Didn’t have the desire to start troubleshooting this issue and I expect other issues will appear. At least I’m familiar with the quirks of the 2022 release.
Thanks. Mine was doing the same thing…
Why not just fix the path, it’s fairly simple?
This seem to result from “Upgrading” a version instead of uninstall and install. Seems like it leaves the old path locations in place in some cases. We’ve moved most of the default file locations to a central location that doesn’t change or contain a version number, so don’t really have this issue.
I did do an upgrade. If I reinstall 2023 at some later date I’ll check that path.
Moving default file locations to my server sounds like a good idea.
Even if you keep it local, I would add them to a different single folder local. SolidWorks like them scattered to the winds…some in the c:\Program data, some under c:\program files\SolidWorks corp\ in various sub folders.
Oh man this.
We’re in a corporate networked environment without the benefit of a PDM. I’ve been trying to develop a folder structure for data to reside on the network and then have all the users pull from the same data.
What an amazing pain in the backside.
I built an Excel VBA macro that sets all the various folder locations to the ones on the network.
Unfortunately, my “friends” at SolidWorks feel the need to change/add the data folders at upgrades, so I’ve had the luxury of refactoring the tool twice now.
Luckily, I’m retiring in April and this will be someone else’s problem…

Since our config name equals P/N this is a nice to have option in 2023
