If you use the SOLIDWORKS software with multiple machines, you can update
your settings on any of the machines and synchronize those settings across all machines that
run SOLIDWORKS 2018 and later.
Settings synchronization is a service and may be blocked by some network
configurations. To access the cloud storage service, ensure that firewall or proxy
servers allow communications to *.solidworks.com.
To synchronize
settings and options across multiple machines:
-
Log in to the SOLIDWORKS software.
-
In , click Synchronize Settings.
-
Choose a manual or automatic method:
- Synchronize Now.
Upload Settings.
Sends your settings from the current machine to the cloud storage
service. Update your settings in the cloud at any time by uploading them
again.
Download
Settings. Downloads and applies your settings from the
cloud storage service to the current machine.
- Automatic Synchronization.
Automatically synchronizes the current machines with the
cloud storage service. Your selected settings and customizations
automatically upload to the cloud storage services as they are updated,
and downloaded and applied on startup or login.
Synchronization settings can vary on different machines. For example, you
can specify one machine to automatically synchronize system options and file
locations, but not customizations. On another machine, you can specify to
manually download and upload all types of settings.
With the synchronization process, you cannot overwrite administrator
settings that are applied or locked.
