The most recent updates of SOLIDWORKS Cloud-connected roles, Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, simply dropped, and there’s a lot to stay up for. Like what? Properly, this launch contains new methods to kind and save your knowledge extra rapidly, so you’ll be able to spend extra time designing. Highlights embrace the power to:
- Work concurrently on CAD designs throughout batch save with asynchronous saving.
- Add revision feedback to a number of elements in a single handy location with out having to open every element individually.
- Delete knowledge out of your PartSupply and Toolbox libraries to scrub up out of date, pointless knowledge.
Earlier than I dive into extra particulars, I wish to clarify a few issues concerning the similarities and variations between the 2 options as they’ve a number of overlapping options. Each options join your knowledge to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform so you’ll be able to leverage its knowledge storage, collaboration, and knowledge administration capabilities.
For many who wish to faucet into the platform however wish to proceed utilizing an present SOLIDWORKS desktop set up, Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS is the way in which to go. Or in case you are on the lookout for a brand new SOLIDWORKS set up, you should use 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS.
Now, let’s have a look at what’s new within the spring launch, R2023x FD02, and how one can finest reap the benefits of these options and their newest enhancements.
- Choice to Block Save if Title is Not Distinctive – stop duplicate titles when saving to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
There’s a brand new choice to fully block a save if a title just isn’t distinctive when somebody goes to save lots of a file on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Admin can allow that setting and has the choice to set “Warning at save” so customers get a warning or also can choose the “Ignore” setting. Notice, if the “Block save” choice has been enabled and a replica is discovered the Save choice will probably be greyed out.
- Add Revision Feedback to A number of Elements from Save Dialog – save time by commenting in a single handy house.
Now you can add revision feedback to a number of elements from the Save Dialog field earlier than saving your knowledge to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Simply checkmark them and add your feedback.
This protects you the time from having to open every element individually so you’ll be able to add all of your feedback in a single shot and get organized extra rapidly.
- Delete Toolbox and PartSupply Elements – keep organized and save on space for storing.
Out of date elements – eliminate them! You now have higher flexibility to handle and clear up your workspace as you’ll be able to simply delete knowledge that you simply now not want out of your PartSupply and Toolbox libraries which have been saved on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
- New and Improved Batch Save to 3DEXPERIENCE Standing Dialog –
The Batch Save Standing dialog has been cleaned up and contains pertinent, and extra exact particulars equivalent to begin time, finish time, and whole processing time. For additional data you’ll be able to faucet the View Report tab to see what elements might have failed and why they might have failed.
- Asynchronous Interactive Save – save knowledge and proceed to work in your designs.
We’ve talked about asynchronous save earlier than and now it’s even quicker as you will have the choice to pick out “Allow asynchronous saving” below Instruments within the My Session Activity Pane. When you allow this characteristic you’ll be able to proceed to work in your CAD mannequin because the save carries on within the background. MySession retains you up to date in real-time on the saving standing of your elements so you’ll be able to see whether or not they’re in progress and have been saved so you’ll be able to proceed to design.
As soon as the save is full, a Home windows notification pops as much as let you recognize the info has been saved.
- Filtering in Nested View – Save time by sorting on multi-level complicated assemblies and rapidly catch errors, warnings, or modified knowledge by filtering within the Nested view.
Have it your manner! Get the very best of each worlds and views for each Nested and Flat View as now you can reap the benefits of all of the sorting choices in Nested view as effectively, equivalent to new and modified, from the Save to 3DEXPERIENCE dialog field.
- Multi-purpose Welcome App for Getting Began, Brushing Up Your Abilities and Function Entry – get began and are available in control on roles, apps and extra with quick entry to studying tutorials.
Now this one’s new to Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS as 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS already options the useful app.
The Welcome App offers quick entry to useful sources for each new customers and novice customers that can assist you come in control and entry all of your roles and apps from one handy location. The Welcome app options brief video tutorials, suggestions, and classes so you may get began rapidly in Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS and get to know your manner across the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. As well as you’ll be able to simply entry SOLIDWORKS communities, the EDU Area studying platform, which options extra in-depth tutorial; and even launch your different roles and apps proper from the Welcome App.
Keep tuned for extra on the Welcome app and different enhancements from this replace coming to you in future blogs. Wish to know extra a few specific characteristic? Let me know within the remark part.
Each 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS and Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS can be found as roles in our 3DEXPERIENCE® Works portfolio.
Wish to prolong your attain out the cloud and develop your toolbelt much more? Take a look at the SOLIDWORKS Cloud Supply to entry subsequent technology browser-based design options for manufacturing definition, subdivision modeling, sheet steel design and extra.
