We just upgraded our License Manager from 2017 SP01 to 2019 SP02, as we are running Windows Server 2012/2016 and read that we would need Windows Server 2019 to go any higher. I can't locate the article I read; can we get confirmation that is the case? I think I read it on a message board but can't find the official word from SolidWorks.

Hello people, I am trying to create formula in my design table, where i want it to make a certain amount of holes in my part, depending on the total length of my part. But i can't seem to find how I link my total length from my part to the design table without having to manually change it. Is there a way to link these to values together? -Jamie SolidworksGeneral

I'm creating IFC files from SolidWorks models for use in architectural BIM software applications like REVIT and others.
