Depending on the app's obsolescence, a colored arrow flag appears in the menu. Each color
indicates a different app version status. You can upgrade by clicking the colored arrow. The
types of upgrades available are:
- Mandatory
: This is a compulsory upgrade. Even if you start the Design with SOLIDWORKS from the Compass, SOLIDWORKS Desktop, or windows shortcut, you are enforced to
install the upgrade. A message prompts to either Get Update or
Exit from the app.
- Optional
: This is an optional upgrade. A message prompts to either
Get Update or Skip the upgrade and
continue using Design with SOLIDWORKS.
Note:
When you choose Get Update, you are directed to 3DSpace to
install the upgrade.
