- Opening Subassemblies in a Different Mode
You can open a subassembly in Large Design Review or resolved mode from an assembly opened in Large Design Review mode. You can also open a drawing in Detailing mode.
- Excluding a Component from a Bill of Materials
You can exclude a component, configuration, or model from the bill of materials. When you select this option, the exclusion occurs the next time you insert the component, configuration, or model.
- Configuration Table
You can use Configuration Table to modify configuration parameters for parts and assemblies. SOLIDWORKS creates this table automatically when the part or assembly has multiple configurations. The configuration table extends the functionality provided in the Modify Configurations dialog box.
- Default Seed Position for Patterns
SOLIDWORKS selection for the default seed position is improved when you create Pattern Driven Component Patterns.
- Excluding Failed Components in a Section Views
When SOLIDWORKS cannot calculate a section view in an assembly, you can exclude the components causing the failure, switch to a graphics-only section view, or edit settings in the PropertyManager.
- Resolving Equations in Lightweight Mode
When you open an assembly in lightweight mode, components referenced by equations in the top-level assembly display as resolved.
- Move with Triad
The triad appears automatically when you select one or more components.
- Quick Mates Context Toolbar
By default, Add/Finish Mate is hidden in the Quick Mates context toolbar for the following mates: coincident, concentric, parallel, symmetric, and tangent.
