SolidWorks World 2014 Top Ten List is now open for Idea submissions
From the SolidWorks Forums:
It is the time of the year to start preparing for SolidWorks World 2014. To start things off we are looking for your input in creating the SolidWorks World Top Ten List. This is a list of your ideas for enhancements to future versions of SolidWorks. The top rated ideas are reviewed at the SolidWorks World 2014 General Session on Wednesday 1/29/2014. These ideas provide guidance for future developments in SolidWorks. You can see a majority of the ideas from former SolidWorks World Top Ten lists implemented now in the SolidWorks product. You do not have to be an attendee of SolidWorks World 2014 to submit your ideas.
Starting on Wednesday, October 31 2013; the list will be open for idea generations and discussion only. To participate in the SolidWorks World 2014 Top Ten list access the SolidWorks World 2014 section of the discussion forum and click the “Ideas” tab or click the “SolidWorks Top Ten List” button (you have to be logged into the Forums). During this period any customer can submit ideas and comment on existing ideas, but you will not yet be able to cast any votes. Since we will receive so many responses, please be sure to search through existing ideas to see if someone has already submitted the same idea. In this case, please comment on the existing idea rather than creating a duplicate idea.
Starting Monday, December 16, 2013 the webpage will be closed to new idea generation and will be opened up for voting. When voting, you are allowed to up or down vote as many ideas as you like. Voting will close on Wednesday, January 15, 2014.
Whether or not you are attending SolidWorks World 2014 in San Diego, this is an easy way to tell us how you use SolidWorks and how we can improve it to meet your needs. So please start thinking of what new functionality you would like to see, participate in the SolidWorks World 2014 Top Ten List and we will hopefully see you at SolidWorks World 2014 in San Diego.

SolidWorks World 2013 Top Ten Enhancement Request
There seems to be a nearly a whole new list of items in the SolidWorks World 2013 Top Ten list this year. A pure performance request made the top of the list this year. Plus, users are asking for more version interoperability. A couple of items are already on the list for SolidWorks 2014, according the the sneak peak. Here’s the list
- Make rebuild time faster
- Full backward compatibility
- Slot mate (announced in the SolidWorks 2014 sneak peek)
- Cylindrical mates lock rotation
- eDrawings mobile app on Android(announced during Nvidia’s presentation)
- Equal spacing on linear patterns
- Default concentric mate on axis to cylindrical surface
- External thread wizard for all thread types
- Draw a line segment starting from the midpoint
- Create auxiliary line for adding angle dimensions

SolidWorks World 2012 Top Ten Voting is in full swing!
The annual vote for the top ten requested enhancements for SolidWorks World 2012 is in full swing right now. The format for this year’s Top Ten changed from previous years. Last year, some ideas didn’t get noticed if they were submitted late in the process. As a result, they received fewer votes, not because they weren’t desired, but because they didn’t have as long as other ideas to gather votes.
For SolidWorks World 2012, the system is more fair. All ideas where submitted prior to voting. On January 3, 2012, voting was opened. So far, the response has been great, with some surprizes. If you haven’t done so since the 3rd and you have an active subscription, check out this year’s Top Ten list, and place your thumbs-up or thumps-down for new functions that you’d like to see added to SolidWorks. It doesn’t take too long to go through the list, so I would actually encourage anyone to vote on as many items as is practical.
