Render Pipeline
SOLIDWORKS 2019 uses a new graphics architecture for parts and assemblies.
This architecture provides a more responsive, real-time display especially for large
models. It takes advantage of modern OpenGL (4.5) and hardware-accelerated rendering
to maintain a high level of detail and frame rate when you pan, zoom, or rotate
large models. These performance improvements scale up with the higher-end graphics
cards not fully supported in previous versions of SOLIDWORKS. These changes do not
apply to drawings.
To turn on the new architecture in SOLIDWORKS 2019, select and select Enhanced graphics performance
(Beta functionality, requires SOLIDWORKS restart).
