AI-Powered Drawing Automation — Auto-Generate Drawings & Smart Detailing

SOLIDWORKS 2026 adds AI-driven drawing automation that auto-generates drawing sheets, views, hole callouts and suggested dimensions, dramatically cutting the time spent on repetitive detailing.

It intelligently places views, scales sheets and proposes annotations so engineers can focus on design decisions instead of manual drafting.

AI-Assisted Component Recognition & Fastener Automation

The 2026 release includes AI that recognises fasteners and common components and can auto-assemble or suggest replacements, speeding up assembly tasks and improving accuracy in BOMs and cut-lists. The enhancement reduces manual placement and repetitive mate work.

Major Performance Gains for Large Assemblies & Background Imports

SOLIDWORKS 2026 focuses heavily on performance: background processing for heavy imports, improved large-assembly settings, and general speed/stability improvements so teams can open large STEP/assembly files without locking up workstations. It’s a practical productivity win for companies handling complex products.
