Assembly Configurations gives users the ability to capture multiple variations of an entire assembly, and its sub-assemblies, in a single associative database. This means that all aspects of an assembly are completely configurable including mating relationships, part visibility, component versions, colors, assembly features, part geometry, and part properties. Part Modeling SolidWorks continues to add more powerful part modeling capabilities to further enhance design flexibility. This simplifies access to and reuse of standard parts and features. Users can drag models directly from web pages and drop them into SolidWorks parts or assemblies.
Users simply pick and extrude parting lines.
Innovative lofting creates shapes between 3D profiles, surfaces, and faces of solids, providing powerful capabilities that allow users to complete their entire job with SolidWorks 98Plus. Surface-knitting creates quilts or solids from features. Sheet Metal SolidWorks offers sheetmetal design capabilities that allow engineers to easily create designs in 3D or in the flat. The ability to unroll cylindrical sheetmetal parts. Easy documentation of sheetmetal production sequences, including various bend states, by using the Configuration Manager.
