Grabcad integration in Solidworks 2017

If you are using Solidworks 2017 it is not yet supported as far as I am aware. I was very disappointed to find that out when I upgraded to 2017 as I do every year.
Being a new user of GrabCad this is making me have serious second thoughts about its usefulness.

They are usually a month or so into the new year before they get it updated. I am always anxious to get the updated GC Add-On for SolidWorks but I see today that it is still not available.

They should consider signing up as SW beta testers when that is available so they can work toward having GC Workbench Add-on ready when the new version of SW comes out.

I just use the previous version of SW until the new add-on comes out. It is always hard to know when the new version is available as it doesn't seem to get announced anywhere. It would be nice to have a place to look to see the progress of the Add-On development.

According to GrabCAD's support, a component that they use has not yet been updated to support SolidWorks 2017. We wait... (and contemplate other PDM solutions for just two users).

I too would like a ping when the update does eventually happen.

Okay, so you've the same issues then I have. Let's hope that it will get integrated soon.

We're currently using the standalone version as "workaround". First we thought that it's gonna be not really cool (as I'm used to PDM Works in my former company) but as soon as we got used to it, it worked fine for our small team.

Any update on this? SP2.0 for SolidWorks 2017 it out..

We need this too.... Please...

Bump..

any timelines of when it is expected to be released by GrabCad?

Bump again. Some feedback here would be great!

Good morning, any news about it?

I am a new user and a new CAD user. I'm a mentor with a FRC team, on programming and was curious if there was something like git/github but for solidworks.
I'm definitely curious about grabcad as an option. Or any another alternatives that exist out there.

SolidWorks 2018 is out. Goes GrabCAD add-in work with 2017 now?! The main thing I like about the add-in is how it automatically makes .pdf out of .slddrw on save.

Does workbench support SW 2018 now? If not, when? I want to upgrade, but lack of GrabCAD keeping me back.

The GrabCAD Workbench add-in works fine with SolidWorks 2017. I did have to uninstall/reinstall to get it fully functional after updating SW. Don't know about 2018. 2018 is on service pack 1.0, I'd wait for the next service pack anyway. Have you tried support@grabcad.com? They are usually responsive.

Support for Solidworks 2018 still missing. I'm considering dumping Workbench entirely.

Has anyone gotten the add-in to work with SW2018?

@Liang - Probably not the answer you are hoping for - but eDrawings would work.
It would be best if they actually installed eDrawings. I have not had good luck with the Save As >> .htm (to view in a browser).

On the other hand GrabCAD Workbench (GCW) still works - and the Desktop App still works. You just don't get the SolidWorks Plugin with 2018. Workbench is still a great way of sharing CAD files.

The biggest thing I would miss about the plugin is the way it automatically generates .pdf of .slddrw on save, but I could do it manually periodically. And 2nd would be the messages saying something is modified but not locked, etc. Occasionally I'd lock a file from within SolidWorks... But for the most important tasks (uploading and syncing) I found the desktop app works better anyway. It is a bad sign that they don't have the plugin working yet, but GCW is still useful. Didn't they add "Make My Part" button recently (a connection to Stratasys Direct)? That seems like a good sign.
