2026.10.70

Applies to the SOLIDWORKS Add-in

Odoo connector 1.0.19.0 supports syncing existing product variants by Internal Reference. SOLIDWORKS configuration names do not determine variant matching.

Shared-field changes show an (i) indicator explaining that all variants are affected. Conflicting values from selected sibling variants are rejected. Thumbnails and BOM updates target the matched variant.

Build, connector regression tests, and UI indicator checks passed. Install the add-in before updating the connector.

2026.10.69

Applies to the SOLIDWORKS Add-in

ERP Sync saves confirmed Odoo-generated product links inside SOLIDWORKS documents. Clear ERP link in the row context menu resets selected associations without deleting part-number properties or ERP products.

Weldment cut-list items use their own part numbers instead of inheriting the parent model's number.

Odoo connector 1.0.18.0 supports document-stored links and selected recovery resets. Update the add-in before the connector.

Build, automated ERP checks, and a live SOLIDWORKS save and reopen test passed.

2026.10.66

Applies to the SOLIDWORKS Add-in

BOM Manager's column editor now offers Save As to create a named copy with the selected columns and their order. The original template is preserved, and the saved copy becomes the selected template. Duplicate names are rejected.

Buttons without a recognized action now display text without a fallback icon.

Build and automated checks passed for template persistence, column order, duplicate names, cancellation, and button icons.

2026.10.62

Applies to the SOLIDWORKS Add-in

• Regular drawing views fit the sheet using their measured bounds, with a common scale, margins, and spacing. Predefined views and custom macros retain their layout settings.
• QR placement accounts for the image size to match the annotation preview.
• QR insertion removes newly created construction geometry while preserving existing sheet-format geometry. Cleanup continues to verify the exact temporary QR picture before deleting it.

Build and automated checks passed. Live SOLIDWORKS validation of view fitting, QR construction-line cleanup, and the reported first-PDF logo loss remains pending.

2026.10.49

Applies to the SOLIDWORKS Add-in

• ERP Sync Push and Pull previews match the source grid's proportions and hierarchy. Comparisons run SOLIDWORKS → ERP for Push and ERP → SOLIDWORKS for Pull, with system icons.
• Mapped ERP fields appear in headers. Unmapped columns explain that they will not sync. Invalid mapped values use red cells with (i) correction details.
• Pull defaults to both document custom and configuration-specific properties. Destination details explain changes even when the displayed values match.
• BOM changes highlight assembly rows. The Sync BOM > submenu selects the supported BOM type and stays open after selection.
• Formula chips survive evaluation and editing changes. File-property pickers include properties hidden from the grid.
• Connector settings open from the adjacent Edit button. Updates to loaded connector DLLs are staged for the next SOLIDWORKS session.
• Trial product names are recognized for the SOLIDWORKS edition.
• Updated the Odoo connector.

2026.10.23

Applies to the SOLIDWORKS Add-in

• After an update is installed and SOLIDWORKS is restarted, the updater now shows a 20-second countdown on the Close button and closes automatically when the countdown finishes. The button can still be selected to close the updater immediately.
• Fixed Upgrade legacy custom properties in Property Doctor, Save As New, and Clone Tree. Each document is now upgraded once on its own; referenced documents included in the operation are handled separately instead of being upgraded recursively.

2026.10.20

Applies to the SOLIDWORKS Add-in

• Property Doctor now asks whether to refresh after successfully applying property edits, deletions, or profile actions. Refresh updates the current grid without reopening the window and preserves unsaved SOLIDWORKS changes.
• Refresh reads only affected documents, once per document. Unchanged documents and drawings are skipped.
• Refresh progress identifies the current document and overall completion. It can be cancelled between documents without undoing changes that were already applied.
• After Apply succeeds, a property column is removed when that property no longer exists in any document, configuration, or cut-list row. A property with an empty value still counts as existing.
• The refresh prompt is not shown when Apply has no changes, Apply fails, a profile runs silently, or the window is closed with OK.

2026.10.13–2026.10.19

Applies to the SOLIDWORKS Add-in

• Maintenance releases containing bug fixes and stability improvements.

2026.10.12

Applies to the SOLIDWORKS Add-in

• Added Clone Tree right-click actions: Check All, Uncheck All, Check Selected, and Uncheck Selected. Required root documents remain checked.
• Added safe overwriting for existing destination files and ZIP archives. Clone Tree temporarily backs up existing outputs and restores them if copying fails.
• Continued to protect source documents from overwriting. Duplicate destinations, open destination documents, and read-only destinations produce errors.
• Updated Copy All, Copy Above, Copy Below, and drag-to-fill to include the ZIP archive row. Values can also be copied from the ZIP row.
• Updated copy and fill operations to follow the displayed row order and current filtering.
• Each Copy attempt now prepares a fresh SOLIDWORKS Pack and Go object, addressing failures when copying again without reopening Clone Tree. Grid settings are retained.
• Updated Clone Tree help text to explain destination overwriting.

2026.10.11

Applies to the SOLIDWORKS Add-in

• Fixed the Drawing background selector in the annotation settings so its menu opens reliably, preserves its separators, and uses the correct colors in light and dark themes.

2026.10.10

Applies to the SOLIDWORKS Add-in and shared licensing components

• Improved publishing performance and stability by reading each document's evaluated properties once per run and reusing them for its configurations and outputs.
• Drawings opened only to evaluate publishing properties now load in the background and are closed safely when the publishing run finishes.
• Added Use Selected and Discard Selected commands to the publishing review grid. Use All and Discard All now apply to the complete review list even when a search filter is active.
• Added Clone Tree commands to copy a cell's value or formula to every editable cell in the same column, or only to the cells above or below it.
• Standardized license expiry storage and comparison in UTC while continuing to display expiry dates in the user's local time.

2026.10.09

Applies to the SOLIDWORKS Add-in

• Fixed ERP connector catalog downloads by accepting the trusted legacy pdmpublisher.com upload URL through HTTPS and reporting clearer catalog errors.

2026.10.08.0

Applies to SOLIDWORKS Add-in

• Changed the horizontal and vertical gridlines in Publishing results to light gray for a softer appearance.
• Updated the DXF guidance to: “DXF is selected. This only converts drawings to DXF. To export flat patterns, enable the sheet metal flat pattern option below.”
• Released digitally signed installer version 26.10.08.

2026.10.07

Applies to SOLIDWORKS Add-in

• Redesigned the publishing review dialog to show evaluated destinations, run-specific formats, the export location, included and excluded counts, and the final selection before publishing.
• Added a new Publishing results dialog with a hierarchical file/configuration/output view, search and result filters, a detailed log, output details, and commands to open a file or folder and copy its path.
• Implemented separate flat-pattern DXF export for multi-body sheet-metal parts. Enable Export each sheet-metal body to a separate DXF in Sheet metal settings.
• Enhanced Configuration filter with searchable configuration pickers populated from all open SOLIDWORKS documents, document/configuration grouping, and bulk Add all shown and Remove all shown actions.
• Updated the Publish settings and Sheet metal settings interfaces.

2026.10.06

Applies to SOLIDWORKS Add-in

• Added a Publish to (folder and filename) column to the publishing review dialog, showing evaluated output paths for each selected format.
• Output previews update when formats change and respect per-format export locations.
• Enabled resizing of review-grid columns and reduced minimum widths.
• Fixed dark-mode colors for the review grid, column headers, selection, and output-format selector.

• Publish now reads evaluated custom-property values from live SOLIDWORKS documents, including unsaved changes, instead of Document Manager.
• Fixed linked properties such as Mass appearing as raw SW-Mass@... expressions in output filenames.
• Added fallback to file-level custom properties when a configuration does not define the requested property.
• Property Doctor now opens with Show evaluated values enabled for all columns.

2026.10.02

Applies to SOLIDWORKS Add-in

• Added the official Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central connector for reviewed item creation, mapped-property updates, and mapped-property Pull. BOM synchronization is not available because the standard Business Central API v2.0 does not expose assembly or production BOM definitions.
• Fixed Property Doctor column deletion so multiple selected property columns can be marked for deletion or restored together. Using the command on an unselected column still affects only that column.

2026.10.01

Applies to SOLIDWORKS Add-in

2026.09.28

Applies to SOLIDWORKS Add-in

• Added an ERP Sync source selector for the active SOLIDWORKS feature tree, SOLIDWORKS BOM tables, and UTF-8 CSV files.
• SOLIDWORKS BOM table sources use visible rows, columns, displayed quantities, and the table's selected configuration. Valid indented tables can also supply BOM hierarchy.
• CSV sources expose every column to the connector and can supply BOM hierarchy through recognized item-code and parent columns.

2026.09.27

Applies to SOLIDWORKS Add-in

• Fixed ERP Sync reporting so every checked Item receives a clear Success, No sync needed, or Failure result.
• Successful connectors that do not return individual Item outcomes now report the affected rows as Success with an explanatory fallback message instead of Not reported.
• Added status-based row colors, clearer failure details, status searching, and a cleaner report grid.
