- Coordinate Systems
Coordinate systems have improved in how you define and select them.
- Cosmetic Threads
Cosmetic threads have improved in appearance and ease of use.
- Draft Across Parting Lines
You can create draft on both sides of parting lines at the same time from the PropertyManager. Previously, this process required multiple drafts.
- External Threaded Stud Wizard
You can use the Stud Wizard to create external threaded stud features. This tool works similar to the Hole Wizard. You define the stud parameters then position the studs on the model. You can also apply thread parameters to existing circular studs.
- Hole Wizard Slots
When you create and position Hole Wizard slots, press Tab to rotate the orientation 90° clockwise. You can dimension the slot length using the arc centers.
- Hybrid Modeling
You can create a hybrid solid or surface body that includes mesh BREP geometry and standard SOLIDWORKS BREP geometry. Previously, you could not combine mesh BREP and standard SOLIDWORKS BREP geometries in a single body.
- Mirroring About Two Planes
You can mirror about two planes at once. Previously, you needed to create multiple features to achieve this.
- Rotating a Section View About a Hole or Axis
In parts and assemblies, you can rotate a section view plane about an axis, temporary axis, hole, or cylindrical face.
- Thickness Analysis Resolution
To optimize the results of a thickness analysis, you can specify the resolution, regardless of the model size. Previously, the resolution used depended on the model size.
- Redo Support for Parts
Redo
support is extended to more commands and actions.
