fast render speeds • Import animations and motion studies • Map SOLIDWORKS camera navigation and hot keys
Benefits Dramatic improvement in rendering speed and improved workflow between modeling, rendering, and viewing.
• Support for HTC® Vive™, Oculus, Google® Cardboard, Samsung®
5
FASTER 2D DRAWING CREATION
Benefits
• Reference and link to BOM table cell elements in annotations
Simplified, faster drawing creation.
• Parametrically mirror drawing views without the model • Pre-defined layers
6
EXPANDED CAPABILITIES FOR MODEL BASED DEFINITION • Compare geometry and 3D PMI between two revisions • Define DimXpert 3D PMI more easily for drafted parts • Export STEP 242 with 3D PMI to automate CAM and CMM • Attach multiple files to 3D PDF to build Technical Data
Packages (TDP)
Benefits Ease the transition from 2D drawings to MBD and enable model-based enterprises (MBE).
