Usability Improvements

SOLIDWORKS Inspection standalone improvements include:

  • You can extract notes from a searchable text PDF document using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) or Searchable Text. To toggle between OCR and Searchable Text, right-click in the drawing, and click Toggle OCR.
  • You can edit fields directly in the bill of materials instead of using the characteristic properties.
  • Basic dimensions appear framed on the drawing, and reference dimension values are enclosed within parentheses.
  • You can reuse a number from the retired numbers list by right-clicking the number in the characteristic table and clicking Reuse Characteristic Number.
  • If you change a default tolerance, the software automatically updates the characteristics.
  • In Measurements Input, you can rename column headers, for example, Part Number Inspected, Sample Name, Date, and Time.
