Reloading Drawings

You can reload SOLIDWORKS drawings. This is useful in multi-user environments if you have read-only access and want the latest version with changes made by another user.

This enhancement was first included in SOLIDWORKS 2024 SP2 but not fully documented at that time. We include it here to promote full customer awareness of the enhancement.
Benefits: You can use reload to undo changes since the last save operation. You can reload the latest version of a document, especially if you have read-only access and another user has made changes.

To reload drawings:

  1. In a drawing, click File > Reload.
