Published on 6 March 2025

A licensed version of Cadence Allegro X or OrCAD X products will be necessary for this to function correctly.

SolidWorks MCADX V5.10.519 Release Notes:

It is recommended that Cadence OrCAD X and Allegro X users upgrade to 23.1, Hotfix ISR006. If using this release, ensure that you set this environmental variable 'set ziputil_7zip = 1' which will allow Orcad X/Allegro X to use 7-zip binaries.
