Looking for an old version of HSM Express, no idea how far back that software goes? Currently it is only supported back to 2018, and my solidworks is older than that.

I've got a copy of 2017 R2 for x64 on my hard drive.

I have HSMXpress2015-R2 that I installed with my SolidWorks 2014. Installer is about 82 MB.

HSMXpress is a dumbed-down/trial version of HSMWorks, only does 2D, no 3D surfacing.

Try the HSM download page HSMWorks Downloads | Autodesk Fusion 360

I will have to check and see what the range is for compatibility. Might work?

Tried it when I was originally searching.... all I get is:
The requested URL /files/hsmworks2016/HSMWorks2015-R1.38078.exe was not found on this server.
when I try to download them.

Finally found why I wasn't getting any messages from PM.... google was sending them all to SPAM.

Course they send most of my emails to Promotions.

I guess they delete the rest of them...

HSMExpress was out before Autodesk bought HSMWorks in 2012, found this CAM industry insiders will remember the HSMWorks a year ago in SolidWorks world 2011, made a big splash and offered a free 2-1/2 axis program

so even though you have SolidWorks, it is older than the oldest HSMExpress so you are "SOL"
