Updates to System Maintenance Tab in SOLIDWORKS RX (2024 FD03)

Two new tasks are available in the System Maintenance tab.

Benefits: These tasks simplify the diagnosis of technical issues.

  • Clean the temporary swcef cache directory
  • Clean the 3DEXPERIENCE temporary directory
The Clean the 3DEXPERIENCE temporary directory task is only available when the Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS app or 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS is installed.

When you work with support representatives, they may ask you to run these tasks to clean temporary files as a troubleshooting or corrective step. Content in these directories is recreated as necessary during normal SOLIDWORKS use.

These new tasks replace the following tasks:
  • Clean the temporary files in SOLIDWORKS data folders
  • Run checkdisk to check for disk errors
  • Run Windows Defragmenter
