Tested on Windows 10 20H2 v2 with SolidWorks 2018 SP3
Installation
If you know any of the contributors personally and have licenses for all of the required proprietary software, drop one of us a message and we can pass on working image (9.9GB, all credit to @henryefranks).
Otherwise, have a look at docs/install.md to set up the VM from scratch. If you are some sort of masochist and want to do it from scratch despite knowing the contributors, we can send you all the proprietary files necessary (20GB).
Tweaks
You may like to have a look through the other files in docs/, which contain tweaks and features you may want to use. These are all implemented in the minimal image we can provide. Note that docs/ssh.md is required for Charon
A Note on SolidWorks Network Licences
Using this without a SolidWorks Network License contravenes the SolidWorks licensing. However, this procedure does successfully convince SolidWorks that it’s not in a VM. This is justifiable because there are artificial locks against using “unsupported” hypervisors, so you couldn’t do it without tricking SolidWorks even with the correct license.
