SolidWorks 2007 has over 200 customer driven enhancements that make transitioning to 3D easier and faster than ever.
Most designers understand how powerful the capabilities of 3D CAD software can be. A great amount of design intent is captured in parts, assemblies, and drawings that does not exist in 2D. Design intent in 3D CAD helps users manage and propagate changes through a design database. Prior to SolidWorks, 3D CAD users were forced to spend significant time mastering the system to recognize these benefits. In SolidWorks 2007, SWIFT lets any SolidWorks user realize the benefits of 3D CAD without having to learn special techniques or work-arounds. The FeatureXpert eliminates the need for a user to worry about feature order in a model. The SketchXpert presents the user with solutions to handle any conflicts in sketch dimensions and relationships. The MateXpert deals with conflicts in assembly mates by isolating problems and guiding the user to a solution. The DimXpert extends traditional auto-dimensioning tools by identifying manufacturing features and adding correct dimensioning schemes.
When designers spend time trying to locate files, they are certainly not focused on design. SolidWorks 2007 introduces a new tool that searches all SolidWorks files whether locally in the Design Library, on the network, in PDMWorks Workgroup, or in user generated content in 3D ContentCentral on the web. This search is not just filename based, but also searchable in metadata (like notes in drawings or custom properties). Bottom line -- users find what they are looking for the first time.
