Afternoon Agenda

Key Themes for SolidWorks 2012

Automates design functions you use most often Improved performance and quality for a more

continuous workflow Enables fundamental changes to your product

development process Extensive support for project collaboration and

team connectivity

GENERAL ENHANCEMENTS

System & User Interface

User Interface Improvements

Command Search & Alias Pin Favorite Files Units Indicator/Switcher Maintain Section View

Colours <CTRL + A> to Select All Mouse Gesture Support

Sketching Improvements

Centerline Selection Modal for Diameter Dimensions

Sketch Shortcut Menus Sketch Rotation

NEW Equation Editor

Completely revamped Automatic Solve Order Measure for Equations Automatically displayed

Equation Modify Dialog

NEW Complete Clean Uninstall

Completely remove program, registry and download files.

Custom uninstall allows you to control what is uninstalled.

Requires no expertise or experience of the SolidWorks program structure.

PART MODELING & ASSEMBLY DESIGN

Enhancements in SolidWorks 2012

Exploded Views for Multi-body Parts

Create Exploded Views for multi-body parts or welded designs.

Exploded views created directly at the part level.

Cut-list properties are now generated automatically for sub-weldments.

NEW Feature Freeze

Features frozen in time. Can be locked so that they

never require updates. Increase performance of

your complex parts Configuration Support.

Assembly Enhancements

Tab Through Components Smart Mate Workflow Missing Files Search

Improvements New Sub-Assembly from the

Graphics Area Add Non-Sequential Parts

and Mates to a Folder Modify dims independent of

Configuration in Use

Large Design Review

Open large assemblies quickly for review

Able to run commands when in review mode:– Walkthrough– Snapshots– Section Views– Measure– Open/Edit Component

Import STEP/IFC/Parasolid Improvements

SolidWorks will not save the imported part file to disk

Reduction in translate time and used disk space

Only require a portion of an assembly? You can open and save individual components

Installing SolidWorks Toolbox

Pre-selection of which Toolbox standards that are to be installed during installation

Save installation time and disk space

SolidWorks Costing Tool

For Sheet metal and machined components

Costs can be instantly calculated

Create Cost Reports Included with SolidWorks

Professional and Premium

Why SolidWorks Costing?

You probably spend a lot of your time redesigning for cost– Using spreadsheets, quotes and experience

Takes far too long to obtain costing estimates Costing is mainly done by designers, engineers or engineering

managers

Key Benefits Enables quick comparisons for different vendors, design changes

and materials Design for cost with speed, repeatability and accuracy Catch cost overruns before manufacturing

Sheet Metal

Swept Flange Enhanced Flange Options Form Tool Improvements Punch & Bend Tables

SolidWorks Routing

Piping Spools Automatic Drawing View

Creation BOM Table Support for

Routing Components Splices in Electrical Routes

Components

CircuitWorks ProStep EDMD Import/Export

ProStep EDMD (*.idx) files are supported by the major ECAD vendors

Improved communication between ECAD and MCAD designers

Ensures reduction of errors and speeds up time to market for electrical design

Drawing & Annotation

Changed Dimension Value Highlighted

Sequential Balloon Ordering Magnetic Lines Easier Exploded Views Reuse Letters and Numbers for

Section and Detail Views Automatically Insert All

Centermarks in a View

Drawing & Annotation

View Palette Update Performance Maintain Unique Hole Callouts in Hole

Table Open Sub-Assemblies from Drawing

Views Export Multiple Sheets to a DWG Insert Bill of Material from Non-Active

Sheet Independently Change View Label

Items Dimension and Section Arrow

Properties Separated

SolidWorks eDrawings

eDrawings now understands SolidWorks file references

When viewing an eDrawing users can check files are up to date from SolidWorks

eDrawings users will always be working from the latest version
