Some users running SWOOD 2024 or 2025 may encounter a bug that causes SWOOD CommandManager features to go missing in SOLIDWORKS, even though the add-in remains active. In the example below, the Edit Panel and New Edgeband commands are missing. Until a future update resolves this issue, you can restore the missing commands using the following workaround.

Workaround Steps for SWOOD CommandManager

Right-click anywhere in the CommandManager and select “Customize”.

Delete the affected tab(s) (SWOOD Design and/or SWOOD CAM) by right-clicking the tab and selecting “Delete”. Click “OK” to close the Customize window.

To add the SWOOD tabs back in, Right-click in the SWOOD CommandManager, select “Customize”, then choose “New Tab”.

Select “SWOOD Design” to add the tab back in. Repeat these steps for SWOOD CAM if needed.

Verify that the missing commands have been restored.
