- 2D Emulator
The SOLIDWORKS software no longer supports the 2D Emulator add-in.
- 32-bit Operating Systems
The SOLIDWORKS software no longer supports 32-bit operating systems, with the exception of the Enterprise PDM Editor Contributor and Viewer clients.
- Add-in Load Times
The Add-Ins dialog box displays the amount of time it took to load add-ins the last time you started up the SOLIDWORKS software.
- Application Programming Interface
- Equation Performance
Equation solving performance is improved, especially in cases where the equations in the set depend upon one another.
- Identify File Version
You can identify the SOLIDWORKS version that files were last saved in from within the software, SOLIDWORKS Explorer, Enterprise PDM and Windows® Explorer.
- Using Intersection Zones in Section Views
You can create section views in a model by cutting away multiple areas of the model. These multiple areas are defined by "intersection zones."
- Open Model in Position
When you open a part or subassembly from an assembly or drawing document, you can open the model in the same view position and orientation as seen in the assembly or drawing view.
- Pack and Go Adds Flow Simulation Files
You can include files from SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation in Pack and Go.
- Surface Curvature Combs
You can display curvature combs on model surfaces to analyze how adjacent surfaces join and transition.
- Task Pane Improvements
- View Selector Preview
When you use the View Selector to modify a model's orientation, it appears with the current model orientation, rather than changing the model orientation.
