SOLIDWORKS®
2024
improves the performance of specific tools and workflows.
Some of the highlights for performance and workflow improvements
are:
SOLIDWORKS Fundamentals
- Graphics
rebuild
after
exiting
SOLIDWORKS
options.
SOLIDWORKS checks the changed options when you click
OK to exit the Options dialog box. SOLIDWORKS only performs
a graphics rebuild on the active document if the changed options require it.
In earlier releases, SOLIDWORKS always performed a graphics rebuild on the
active document.
- Silhouette
edges.
You can enable the GPU hardware to improve the display of
silhouette edges in HLR, HLV, and wireframe views.
In
, select Hardware accelerated
silhouette edges.
Sketching
Equal relations solve more efficiently which improves 3D sketch
performance.
Sheet Metal
When rebuilding complex sheet metal parts with large numbers of
sketched bends or jogs, rebuild time is improved by up to 50%.
Import/Export
The performance of importing STEP, IGES, and IFC assemblies as multibody parts is improved
up
to
30%.
SOLIDWORKS PDM
SOLIDWORKS PDM 2024 has improved the performance of file-based
operations.
The following operations are approximately two times faster:
- Add files
- Change state
- Copy tree
The copy tree to compressed
archive operation is orders of magnitude faster.
SOLIDWORKS Electrical
- Archiving a project for remote users (VPN connection) is improved and is
much faster.
- The automatic routing issue that caused the creation of loops
while routing wires through splices is fixed. This allows cleaner and faster
flattening of harnesses.
eDrawings
Performance improvements include:
- Measure tool. Up to
20 times faster when opening the Measure pane, entity selection, and changing units.
- Markup tool. Up to
10 times faster when creating markups.
- Reset tool. Up to
1.5 times faster when resetting a model.
- Faster rendering and printing with software OpenGL.
- Faster times for closing files.
