DriveWorks V20 SP2 Information

DriveWorks V20 SP2 Information

Innovation and continuous improvement underpin our team's approach to software development.

And whilst we are busy working on new features and enhancements for the next major version, we are of course committed to making each version robust and compatible with all the latest releases of software that DriveWorks interacts with.

• DriveWorks 20 SP2 has been extensively tested to run SOLIDWORKS 2023.
• DriveWorks 20 SP2 applies a fix for an issue, introduced by a September 2022 Microsoft .NET update. The issue caused a crash with UpdateExtent shown in the title of the crash dialog.
• DriveWorks v20 SP2 onwards supports provisioning DriveApps on an Azure database.
• DriveWorks Live 20 SP2 installs the latest jQuery (1.7.0) and jQuery UI (1.12.1) to overcome potential vulnerability issues in earlier versions of jQuery.

For this release we have also made enhancements across these areas of DriveWorks:

• Scalability
• Usability

  in the following DriveApps:

  • All
  • Scheduler
  • Dashboard
  • Dashboard and CPQ

Design Automation - SOLIDWORKS 2023

DriveWorks 20 SP2 fully supports SOLIDWORKS 2023 .

DriveApps and Microsoft Azure

DriveWorks v20 SP2 onwards supports provisioning DriveApps on an Azure database.

However, we have found that by default, Azure may select a database that is over-provisioned and expensive to run.

We recommend therefore, that you review the costs of the vCore purchasing model and select the model that matches your requirements.

We recommend switching this to the DTU based purchasing model. Typically 10 DTU's is well suitable for most scenarios.
