SOLIDWORKS Electrical SOLIDWORKS® Electrical is a separately purchased product. Contents Aligning Components When you use Align Components while designing 3D cabinet layouts, you can preview changes in the graphics area. Cable Management (2024 SP1) Cable Management has a streamlined workflow that saves you time. Changing the Length of Multiple Rails and Ducts You can change the length of multiple rails and ducts simultaneously. In earlier releases, you could only change the length of a single rail or duct. The multiselection of rails and ducts makes the process of 3D cabinet creation faster. Drawing Mark Numbers (2024 SP2) You can number drawings by folder.This lets you assign the same drawing number across multiple folders. Previously drawing marks were unique per book. Dynamic Link Between Drawings (2024 SP1) When you modify a .SLDDRW drawing file inside SOLIDWORKS® and save it, the software updates the corresponding drawing file (.EWG) inside the SOLIDWORKS Electrical project folder automatically. Exporting Data Files (2024 SP2) In Link to PDM Configuration dialog box, you can include the data files in the exported PDF file. Filtering Auxiliary and Accessory Parts In SOLIDWORKS Electrical, you can filter manufacturer parts based on your selection. You can filter: Import Options to Manage Cable References and Manufacturer Parts (2024 SP2) Two new commands are available in Cable reference management and Manufacturer part management: Auto Balloons in 2D Cabinets You can insert auto balloons in SOLIDWORKS Electrical 2D cabinet layout drawings. Removing Manufacturer Part Data You can clear manufacturer part information when deleting or replacing a part from a component. Resetting an Undefined Macro Variable Excel automation lets you automatically reset undefined macro variables. Restructuring the Electrical Component Tree The electrical component tree is restructured and simplified to display the 2D footprints, 3D parts, and the connection labels associated with a manufacturer part. You can quickly identify these items for a particular manufacturer part in the electrical component tree. Sharing Links in the Electrical Content Portal (2024 SP1) You can share links to an item (the manufacturer part, symbol, etc.) or the electrical package containing the item in the Electrical Content Portal. Shortening Lists Using Ranges In report configuration, when you merge rows, the software lists consecutive values as a range for merged rows instead of listing each individual value in the range. Single Entry for Cables or Wires in BOM Tables (2024 SP1) The BOM table created for cables and wires after routing contains only one entry for each wire style or cable reference. SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic Enhancements SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic offers an improved user experience. SOLIDWORKS Electrical Performance Improvement Performance improvements include: SOLIDWORKS Electrical Tutorials (2024 FD01) SOLIDWORKS Electrical tutorials are integrated into the SOLIDWORKS Electrical help. The tutorials are more complete and consistent with existing SOLIDWORKS documentation. Zoom to Fit When Opening Drawings (2024 SP1) When you open a drawing, you have the option to have it automatically zoom to fit your graphics area. The drawing can be a project drawing, a title block, a symbol, or a dwg file.
