Work Offline When a Connection Is Unavailable (2025 FD03)

You can run SOLIDWORKS Connected, along with other 3DEXPERIENCE Connected apps, even if the app cannot connect to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Benefits: This enhancement ensures uninterrupted access by allowing you to keep working in the app with your local files if you experience connectivity issues.

  • Introduced R2025x FD02: If the app cannot connect to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and you have run SOLIDWORKS Connected in the last 30 days, the app prompts you to work offline.
  • Introduced R2025x FD03: If you start your session as usual but lose connection during use, the app enters temporary offline mode and prompts you to work offline during disconnection.

While running in temporary offline mode, SOLIDWORKS Connected continues checking for a connection in the background. When the connection is restored, the app prompts you to restart to reconnect fully.

SOLIDWORKS Visualize Connected, DraftSight Connected, 3DEXPERIENCE DraftSight Professional, and Electrical Schematic Designer also support temporary offline mode, allowing continued work with local files when the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is unavailable.
