Resolved Issues

SOLIDWORKS 2023 SP1 and SP3 introduced issues with Linear Component Pattern Updates, and Instance-Specific Driving in Assemblies with Patterns.

SOLIDWORKS have isolated and fixed the issue with Linear Component Pattern Updates for SOLIDWORKS 2023 SP4.

We have been actively investigating the issue with Instance-Specific Driving in Assemblies with Patterns, and working closely with SOLIDWORKS to pin down the cause and work on a resolution. In doing this, we have also found a different approach that solves the problem for DriveWorks and which we can adopt independently of any change to SOLIDWORKS.

This solution is incorporated in the release of DriveWorks 21 SP1 and we have also made the decision to release an additional service pack of DriveWorks 20 – DriveWorks 20 SP4. This means that this solution will also be available to customers that haven’t yet adopted DriveWorks 21.
