Functional Value
Secure design table relationships by automatically saving linked Excel files with the part and assembly, eliminating manual operations every time you save and open from the platform, and ensuring the correct data is always used.
Eliminate unnecessary rebuilds and save prompts from harmless part edits (e.g., changing colors, textures, decals, etc.).
Eliminate manual cleanups and adjustments by automating dimension and annotation line breaks around overlapping texts and symbols, enabling users to produce clear, precise drawings faster.
Enhance annotation management by enabling users to attach and freely position annotations such as notes, weld symbols, and geometric tolerances, on magnetic lines, resulting in clearer, well-organized drawings and faster detailing.
Eliminate the need for manual material edits by adopting the industry-standard DSPBR material, which enables seamless one-to-one translation between SOLIDWORKS and Visualize for consistent, high-quality render
Improve design automation and maintain data integrity by managing Excel files used in Design Tables directly on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
Improve overall efficiency by eliminating unnecessary model rebuilds for cosmetic changes
Simplify complex multi-body parts more quickly by using advanced selection tools. Work more efficiently with complex parts and assemblies by filtering on bodies, size and volume
Experience faster rebuilds by replacing full graphics rebuilds with incremental graphics updates
Multitask better with automatic file tiling across multiple monitors
Easily restore dismissed messages from the status bar
Design faster with the ability to define the Base Flange starting reference
Define Bounding Box with coordinate systems for consistent length, width, and thickness
Speed complex corner design in Structure Systems with improved selection previews
Automatically create breaks in dimension lines where they intersect or overlap with text and annotations, improving drawing clarity and readability
Magnetic lines now support attaching and aligning Notes, Weld Symbols, and other annotations, beyond just balloons, improving the overall presentation and organization of your drawings
Enhance tolerance definitions by adding custom text and symbols directly within tolerance values for greater precision and clarity
Clearly specify surface finish requirements by adding standardized surface finish symbols from the Surface Finish Property Manager, compliant with ISO 21920-1, to improve communication with manufacturing
Quickly locate specific DimXpert features using a new filter bar, improving navigation and efficiency when managing dimensions
Quickly produce photorealistic renderings directly within SOLIDWORKS Design using Visualize, enhancing design presentation and decision-making with high-quality visuals
Create a seamless transition from design to rendering with support for DSPBR appearances
Experience real-time interactive rendering performance for both the Visualize viewport and offline renders with AMD GPUs
Quickly change the drawing template size in flattened views with automatic scaling, streamlining layout adjustments and saving time during documentation updates
Streamline the creation of piping and tubing networks with an enhanced coverings UI, simplified access to partial coverings, and support for saving Favorite coverings for quick, consistent reuse
Improve design flexibility with the new Auto Route option that supports sketch-guided auto-routing
