SolidWorks Labs allows you to find out what SolidWorks R&D is up to. You can play with not-yet-released technologies, test-drive SolidWorks functionality prototypes, and maybe even influence future product direction.

Drawings Now - Drawings Now is a web service that doesn't require you or the person you want to share your design with to download any software. It works from any browser. You can simply upload your DWG, DXF, and SolidWorks Drawings (SLDDRW) files to the Drawings Now site and then email a link to a friend, associate, or client. Drawings Now lets you pan, zoom, and print your drawing.

COSMOSXpress Now - For designers with no previous virtual simulation experience, COSMOSXpress Now guides you step-by-step through the design validation process, allowing you to explore the benefits of first-pass design checks without any cost. COSMOSXpress Now is suitable for stress analysis of simple parts, giving you the ability to simulate the effect of force or pressure loads on those parts.

ZoomIn - Ever needed to present the design you were working on? ZoomIn allows you to paint various materials onto components of your assembly. You can put your model into a variety of scenes/backgrounds. You can define a fly-through path to view your model from and pick music to play when you are presenting your design. You can print your model, and you can also save images of it for re-use later on. ZoomIn is an installable application that will read eDrawings, native SolidWorks documents (parts, assemblies, and drawings) in addition to DWG/DXF and Pro/E files.

DWGnavigator - Use DWGnavigator to help you instantly find DXF, DWG, and other data you need via search! DWGnavigator, a AutoCAD file manager that's as intuitive as Windows® Explorer, provides file management for AutoCAD files and is available at no cost. DWGnavigator allows you to save any DWG file to any version of AutoCAD ranging from AutoCAD version 2.5 to AutoCAD 2007 (the latest format of AutoCAD).

Supplier Source - A new web application that helps you find and communicate with custom manufacturers and service providers. Supplier Source is your easy-to-use, one-stop online resource for finding and communicating with new suppliers and keeping your favorite ones in the loop.

3D Content Central Search - Search 3D ContentCentral from your web browser. The 3D ContentCentral® service is the easiest way to import CAD models of commonly used off-the-shelf parts and assemblies directly into your product designs. This time-saving service is absolutely free to all designers and engineers regardless of the CAD system you use.

WatchIt Widget - Keep track of which files are changing on your system or network drive. Use this utility to monitor changes to files.
