Parallels 11, Win 10 and poor graphics performance for CAD

Windows 10 is running fine on Parallels 11 APART FROM from graphics performance on my CAD software (Solidworks 2016) which was previously running perfectly well on Solidworks 2012 and Parallels 10. Hardware has always been same - a mid 2012 Retina MB Pro (NVidia GeForce 650M card).
Is anyone else having similar issues? I think Parallels needs to update this article for Parallels 11 http://kb.parallels.com/en/122790

In the new Parallels 11 there is no option to select CAD and design as the primary profile... what happened to that option??

@MatthewCS - What specific problems are you seeing?
I'm in the same boat, using SW 2016 and Windows 8.1. Are you able to get hardware graphics acceleration (unchecked the OpenGL box)? For me, I get no 3D rendering, shading, etc. Just blobs.
Are you running Parallels 11 in Game or Productivity Mode?
