You can now substitute simplified parts where full detail is not required. Dynamic collision detection now stops on contact and highlights colliding faces. You can constrain assembly solver to a member of a pattern of parts. You can place coordinate systems by key points, define tangency of axis and define reference plane by three points. Machine design tools.
Weldments support multiple part bodies, weld preparation, weld bead, and postweld feature.
New sheet metal features enhance beads and dimples, and automatically extend bend relief. 2D drawing generation. Hole table locates arcs and counterbores and maintains hole numbers. Annotation text fields link to properties and behave like Microsoft Word field codes. In addition to being an online reference for standard engineering calculations, the Engineering Handbook includes pre-defined parametric parts for numerous types of shafts, key and key ways, bearings, gears, belts, chain drives, pins, splines, and springs.
