SOLIDWORKS is tested only with Microsoft’s Windows Networking and Active Directory network environments. Internet Explorer version 11 or Microsoft Edge Non-server products are only supported in the Parallels environment.ĮDrawings® is supported on Apple Macintosh®-based machines.ĭVD drive or broadband internet connection It is not a recommended hardware configuration. SOLIDWORKS can be made to run on Apple Mac® based machines running under Parallels or BootCamp. The minimum SOLIDWORKS system requirements can be found on theĪ recommended OpenGL workstation graphics card and driver.įor a listing of recommended graphics cards and driver combinations visit the SOLIDWORKS System/Graphics Card Requirements Website.
