New Functionality

About Supported Import Formats
- Higher versions of import formats are now supported.
- Sharing (Default) Document Properties Across Teams
- You can now save (default) document properties settings to a file that can
be reused as a template. Collaborators in your team or organization are then
able to load this file in Composer, in order to use the same (default)
document properties. This makes it easy to harmonize globally document
properties for all stakeholders working on a given project. For more
information, see Sharing (Default) Document Properties Across Teams.
- Ability to Control the Display of Hidden Edges for Selected, or Highlighted, Actors
- You can now control whether hidden edges are visible when elements are selected, or
highlighted. You can define the color and intensity used to display hidden
edges.
- In the page, a new check box, Show hidden
edges, and a new slider, Color
Intensity, are now added in both the
Selection and Highlight
sections. For more information, see Selection.
- In the page, four corresponding properties (Advanced Preferences)
are available in the Selection category. For more
information, see Advanced Properties.
- Ability to Highlight in the Viewport Invisible Actors that Are Selected
- You can now specify whether invisible actors (that is, actors whose visibility is switched
off) should be highlighted in the viewport, when they are selected (in the
Assembly tree or using another method). For more information, see Selection.
- Delete Empty Groups at Import
- The new IODeleteEmptyGroups advanced document
property now lets you specify that groups that would end up being empty in
the assembly tree after import, should be removed during the import process.
For more information, see Advanced Properties.
- Saving Multiple Configurations to Composer Files
- You can save multiple or all configurations from SOLIDWORKS files to
Composer files. If a SOLIDWORKS part or assembly file has multiple
configurations, when you save the file as a Composer file, you can choose
which configurations to save with the Composer file. Fore more information,
see Input.
Enhanced Functionality
- Loading Improvements
- The following improvements are now available when loading Composer documents
such as *.smg, smgXML, *.smgProj and fully shattered files:
- The loading status is now displayed in the left-hand side of the
status bar.
- During the loading process, you can now press the
Escape key to cancel the ongoing
operation. This does not affect already-opened files.
For more information, see Importing and Opening Files.
- Performance Improvements when Loading and Saving Composer Documents
- Performance is improved when loading and saving Composer documents (*.smg,
*.smgXml, *.smgProj, *.smgSce).
- Selection Opacity Property Renamed Selection
Intensity
- In the page, PMI Cross-Highlight section, the
Selection Opacity property has been renamed
Selection Intensity. The behavior of this
property remains unchanged.
Removed Functionality
- Removal of Show hidden edges and Intensity
Application Preferences
- The Show hidden edges check box, and the
Intensity slider that were previously present in
the page have been removed. These preferences are replaced by
document properties to control the display of hidden edges for selected, or
highlighted, actors.
