Performance

Some of the highlights for performance and workflow improvements are:

Features

• The quality and performance of pattern features is improved, especially for editing and rebuilding. Examples:
  • If the seed feature of a pattern is another pattern, the seed feature is not highlighted.
  • If the seed feature has more than 100 faces, the seed feature is not highlighted.
  • For newly created patterns that use the Instances to Vary option, performance and accuracy are improved.
  • The performance is improved when you edit or click OK to create patterns that have a large number of instances or faces.

Assemblies

• Performance is improved when calculating mass properties for an assembly.

SOLIDWORKS PDM

• SOLIDWORKS PDM performance is improved during the file check in to the SOLIDWORKS PDM database when the data transfer over the internet is slow. The file check in operation is two times faster than before.

Sheet Metal

• You can experience improved performance while working with multibody parts with a large number of cosmetic thread features when you enable the Shaded cosmetic threads option.
  For sheet metal parts with multiple cosmetic thread features, performance is improved for these operations:

  • Opening parts
  • Creating new features
  • Editing features
  • Updating and rebuilding parts
• Performance is improved while working with drawings that contain drawing views of sheet metal parts with many holes and forming tools. When working with such drawings, you can experience improved performance for:
  • Opening drawing files
  • Making new drawings from the sheet metal part
  • Updating drawing views after making edits to the sheet metal part
