Web-based Documentation

Documentation is now available on the Web for SolidWorks, SolidWorks Enterprise PDM, and eDrawings®.

By default, when you access help, the Web version of the documentation is displayed in a Web-based viewer. You can still choose to use local help files (.chm) if, for example, your Internet connection is slow or unavailable.

Benefits of Web-based help include:
  • Improved search functionality, including improved relevancy ranking, spelling correction, short descriptions in search results views, and guided navigation to help you identify relevant topics.
  • Improved topic navigation, including next and previous topic buttons and breadcrumb navigation.
  • Ability to provide feedback directly to the documentation team on individual help topics.
  • Up-to-date documentation without the need to download large compiled help (.chm) files.

Select or clear Help > Use SolidWorks Web Help to switch between the local and Web-based versions of the help.
