SOLIDWORKS Explorer

You cannot use SOLIDWORKS Explorer to identify the last version used to save your SOLIDWORKS files. The SW Last Saved with property is not supported in SOLIDWORKS Explorer. Use Windows Explorer to identify the SOLIDWORKS version you used to save your files by right-clicking the file in Windows Explorer, selecting Properties, and clicking the Details tab.

Full-Round Fillets

You can add variable size fillets to nonplanar closed edges and closed spline edges.
