#  SOLIDWORKS 2026 FD03: Top 10 New Enhancements

SOLIDWORKS Design 2026 FD03 introduces ten key enhancements to improve your workflow. You can now edit parts in context during Large Design Review and interrupt heavy operations with the escape key. Drawings can update automatically in the background with the Update Drawings button. A new UV Editor allows precise texture mapping, and **3D**EXPERIENCE users benefit from automatic background sync with local saves. The update also enhances relationship visibility in drawings, simplifies replacing missing references, and automatically retires obsolete revisions. Watch the video to see these features in action.
