SolidWorks 2001 Plus SP1.1
Beginning with SolidWorks 2001Plus SP1.0, SolidWorks has enhanced the Service Pack program. The Service Pack numbering scheme has been changed. Service Packs now have a Major and a Minor number, for example 2001Plus SP 1.0 where 1 is the Major number and 0 is the Minor number. Major Service Packs will be released at approximately 5 week intervals and contain a relatively large number of fixes. Minor Service Packs will be released only on an as-needed basis to fix any very critical problems discovered in a Major Service Pack that SolidWorks determines cannot wait until the next Major Service Pack. In the event that a Major Service Pack requires a critical fix, a Minor Service Pack will be released as soon as possible that only includes a fix for the critical problem.  To download SP1.1, click here.
