New in SolidWorks 2017, closed sketch contours will be emphasized with shading. This may allow for the creation of graphical BOMs in 2017, as requested in this year’s Top Ten List. Notably, there’s another new icon in Treehouse 2017, which looks like an “Export to Excel” command (see blue square below). That functionality has been added in SolidWorks 2017 (see red circles below). When Treehouse first became available as an officially supported product in 2014, there was no way to print the structure, or save it as a universal (.pdf) format.
This is one of those features that should have been available from day 1. Drawings associated with any component in the assembly tree will be automatically imported. Treehouse 2017 will finally support drawings when working with structures of existing assemblies. SolidWorks 2017 What's New – transparent section views and chamfer-fillet switch get the cheers #SWW16īuilding on the fantastic Thread Creation Wizard introduced in SolidWorks 2016, this option allows users to specify lead-in and lead-out features of the thread, including the angle of the draft, and number of revolutions it should cover. One of the crowd’s favorite visual enhancements at SWW16. When you section your model, some or all of the components sectioned can appear as transparent, rather than being completely hidden, so you don’t lose the overall structure of your model. Part Modeling Enhancements – 2įor a better way to visualize your model, try the new Transparent Section View option. – should stay constant as the feature type is toggled (I’ll have to test this to be sure). Most feature properties – including distance/radius, hold lines, symmetry, etc. The UI has also been redesigned to more closely match the fillet PropertyManager.Īn answer to one of 2014’s Top Ten List requests, users will now have the ability to switch between a fillet and a chamfer without recreating the whole feature. The chamfer tool is gaining much of the functionality we currently have for fillets, including multi-distance selections (the ability to create chamfers of various sizes within the same feature), variable chamfers (which change distance or angle along the length of an edge), and face chamfers (the ability to create chamfers between two sets of faces, and control it with hold lines). You can choose different spacing parameters for each direction, or just check the “Symmetric” box to keep spacing constant. This enhancement adds a secondary direction control to circular patterns (similar to the current “Direction 2” control for extrudes), allowing you to pattern about an axis both clockwise and counterclockwise. Dark Screensaver rightly punishes the general for this transgression. During this meeting, imperial commander General Tolerance makes the grave error of using up the last of the cream cheese. Soon enough, however, the brave princess finds herself in the clutches of the evil Dark Screensaver, who attempts to extract information from her by subjecting her to the torture of a lengthy cost review meeting. Princess Layout, custodian of the secret plans to expose the ineffienencies of the Imperial Design Tools, arrives at the office early to prepare for a gathering of like-minded rebels at a local SWUG Tech Summit…
Rebel Designers are battling against the evil empire to Make Great Design Happen. It’s a period of unrest in the design universe. We’re doing this… You’re already thinking how this could go, and all the ways we could possibly tie in SOLIDWORKS 2017 functionality… The scene opens with that familiar title crawl… The clever skit, which somehow made it past the Dassault legal department, featured such cringe-inducing characters as Luke Sketchdrawer, Princess Layout, Over-Bend CanSolveIt and Hans Preview (along with his trusty sidekick Queue Backup), who battle the evil Old Empire of CAD, led by Dark Screensaver. That is, unless you’re a SolidWorks user attending Day 3 of SolidWorks World 2016, where you’ve just learned about some of the new enhancements you can look forward to in SolidWorks 2017. There’s nothing hotter right now than Star Wars.
