What’s New in SOLIDWORKS® 2026 – Electrical Solutions
SOLIDWORKS® 2026 Electrical solutions empower engineers to streamline electrical design, enhance accuracy, and boost collaboration across teams. By integrating 2D schematics with 3D mechanical CAD and cloud-connected workflows, SOLIDWORKS Electrical reduces design errors, accelerates production, and improves overall product quality.
Top 10 Features in SOLIDWORKS 2026 Electrical
- Assign Accessory Parts to Specific Terminals or Circuits Enhance design accuracy by assigning fuses, pins, sockets, seals, and plugs directly to terminals or circuits, ensuring correct assembly and clear manufacturing steps.
- Improved Flexibility in PDF Export Customize PDF outputs with options to organize by project, book, or page, auto-adjust page orientation, and use a more intuitive interface for faster documentation.
- Streamlined Manufacturer Part and Cable Reference Import Import manufacturer parts and cable references from Excel quickly, reducing data entry errors and accelerating library creation.
- Load and Reload Feature in 3DEXPERIENCE® Libraries Simplify electrical library management with streamlined access and consolidated comments for team-wide consistency.
- Saving Local Libraries to 3DEXPERIENCE Contribute local electrical content to a central cloud library, promoting reuse and eliminating duplicate work.
- SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D Augmented Place electrical components in 3D, auto-route wires and cables, and generate accurate production documentation such as wire lengths and harness drawings.
- Route Wires Property Manager Enhancement Design harnesses efficiently by routing selected wires directly through the property manager for precise control and flexibility.
- Dynamic Connector Insertion Improvements Simplify connector insertion with direct symbol access, detailed circuit selection dialogs, and improved circuit list navigation.
- Collaborative Server Enhancement Optimize client-server connections for modern IT environments, reduce firewall complexity, and improve network reliability.
- Enhancements to ECAD-MCAD Collaboration Using IDX 3.0 Track parent-child relationships and synchronize Keep-in, Keep-out, PTH, and NPTH data to minimize errors, rework, and design cycle time.
