Hello, Can we work with sw 2016 and 2017 installed on the same pc?
No problem in general except for one point: a file saved with SW17 will no longer open with SW2016.
==> if you have libraries, you have to duplicate them.
==> check with the path editor that there are no mixtures.
When installing, differentiate the SolidworksData directories.

It is not recommended to work with several versions, except in special cases.
It's a source of bugs and others. But then it works =)
Why would you want the 2 versions?
Be careful when installing the 2018, by default it updated our 2016 version as the previous versions were installed next to it. Maybe this change is already taking place in 2017.
@Sbadenis: at the install, there is a checkbox to indicate if you are making a change of version or an additional install, with habit we pay attention to it.
