User Interface Enhancements for SOLIDWORKS Visualize

User interface enhancements for SOLIDWORKS Visualize include improvements for animations, properties, decals, and appearances.

  • Animations. You can drag an existing animation from the timeline animation list to another model, part, or group, to apply an identical animation without having to recreate it. You can drag the animation only onto the same type of object (model, part, or group) that the animation belongs to.
  • Properties. You can copy and paste settings across Camera and Light objects. Right-click an object and click Copy Settings. Then right-click another object and click Paste Settings. Previously, you could only do this for Environment and Sunlight objects.
  • Decals. Decals created from an image sequence or video have dynamic thumbnails in the palette view. Hover the pointer over the decal thumbnail in the Appearances tab. The thumbnail displays a preview of the video decal.
  • Appearances. You can double-click a part in the viewport to select its appearance in the Appearance tree, where you can edit it.
