First off, I wish to take the time to thank everybody for becoming a member of my classes on the 3DEXPERIENCE® World annual person occasion. This was my first time attending the occasion, and I used to be nervous to current, however you all made me really feel comfy. It was nice to attach with so many individuals, and I additionally acquired to make a resin coaster in order that was actually cool.
Final month we additionally launched the most recent replace to Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS®, R2023x FD01.
For these of you who don’t know, Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS is a cloud-connected function that lets you join your SOLIDWORKS information to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and make the most of its information administration and collaboration capabilities.
The most recent launch contains enhancements to assist velocity up your workflow, together with File Preparation Assistant integration, Asynchronous Batch Save, and extra.
Right here’s a take a look at what’s new in Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS.
- File Preparation Assistant Integration – clear up your information sooner.
The File Preparation Assistant is even simpler to entry as you possibly can launch it proper from SOLIDWORKS below Instruments to wash up information earlier than importing it to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
If you happen to’re conversant in this time-saving device, you recognize you possibly can have it test for duplicate file names, detect lacking file references and configuration references and extra.
- Proceed to Design with Asynchronous Batch Save – keep productive with out delays.
The batch save workflow is extra versatile as you possibly can proceed to work in your mannequin whereas your information is saving to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The batch save course of now makes use of an asynchronous save strategy so you possibly can design with out delays because the save performs within the background in small batches.
- View Part Reference Info – present worthwhile data for collaboration throughout different functions.
Now you can embody the SOLIDWORKS element reference worth within the object data panel on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This helps you determine a element’s occasion in an meeting by mapping the element worth, which may simply be discovered below the Situations tab within the data panel of an object when utilizing functions, corresponding to Product Construction Explorer and Bookmark Editor so different customers can simply discover and use the knowledge.
It’s necessary to notice that “discover quantity” references, additionally recognized within the business as balloon numbers, and values, are seen solely after the article has been saved to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
To summarize, this performance makes it potential to save lots of a drawing with balloon numbers from SOLIDWORKS and have these numbers mechanically captured and displayed within the downstream functions as famous above.
- Use 3DEXPERIENCE Platform Revisions to Drive SOLIDWORKS Revision Desk Updates – save time and monitor revisions extra simply.
You’ll be able to set your SOLIDWORKS drawing revision tables to mechanically replace when adjustments are made to drawing revisions on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. To use this setting, go to the Doc Properties dialogue and choose 3DEXPERIENCE pushed Revision Desk.
Legacy recordsdata of the prevailing SOLIDWORKS revision tables will stay untouched. If you’d like the revision tables to be pushed by the platform revision desk a brand new revision desk should be added.
Nevertheless, a revision is not going to present in SOLIDWORKS till the drawing is opened and saved. To let you recognize that the drawing must be saved first, you will notice an asterisk (*) beside the revision title and you’re going to get a tooltip message that claims, “Save the drawing to replace the Revision Desk,” once you hover wherever on the revision desk.
- 3DEXPERIENCE Open Dialog Field Assets – entry latest recordsdata and bookmarks shortly.
Along with latest recordsdata you’ve opened, the house tab within the Open dialogue field contains extra helpful sources, corresponding to Fast Hyperlinks and bookmarks you’ve not too long ago opened. You may as well filter the latest recordsdata record.
Plus, you possibly can shortly do a seek for latest recordsdata on the prime of the web page and have the choice to seek for extra recordsdata on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform utilizing the 3DSearch tab.
Questions, feedback? Give these enhancements a go and tell us what you suppose within the Remark part.
