- Assembly Visualization
- Breaking All External References at Once
You can lock or break all external references in an entire assembly hierarchy (or in a selected subassembly within the hierarchy) at the same time. Previously, you had to find and address each component individually.
- Deleting Components from Subassemblies
In an assembly, when you select a component that belongs to a subassembly and perform a Delete, only the selected component is deleted.
- Derived Components
You can include items such as custom properties, sketches, and model dimensions from the seed component when mirroring components or creating derived components.
- Envelopes
You can now make envelopes from subassemblies. Workflow improvements include designating components as envelopes as you insert them into assemblies, and changing components to or from envelopes at any time. New options let you adjust envelope visibility and load envelopes as lightweight or read-only.
- Multiple Exploded Views per Configuration
In assemblies and multibody parts, you can create multiple exploded views for each configuration. You can use keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste exploded views.
- Inserting Components
- Interference Detection
You can exclude selected components in Interference Detection. You can filter components with matching cosmetic threads from Interference Detection results and place them in a separate folder.
- Large Assemblies
- Mass Properties in Assemblies
- Mates in Mirrored Subassemblies
When you create an opposite-hand version while mirroring a subassembly, all the standard mates in the subassembly are mirrored as well. Previously, standard mates within the subassembly that mated to the default planes or origin of the subassembly were not created.
- Replacing Components
When using Replace Component, you can replace a component with another that has the same name and type but comes from a different folder.
- Selecting Subassemblies in the Graphics Area
When you select a subassembly by right-clicking in the graphics area and choosing Select Subassembly, the context toolbar for the subassembly appears automatically. Previously, you had to do an additional left-click for the context toolbar to appear.
- Snapshots
- Swept Cut Assembly Features
You can create profile swept cut features in assemblies. As with other assembly features, you can propagate swept cut features to the parts they affect.
