A Message Bar is a modeless bar at the top of the main SOLIDWORKS window that provides information specific to the active document.
- Redesigned Notifications
Notifications are redesigned so they are more intuitive and use a consistent layout. This includes informational, acknowledgement, warning, and error messages.
