User Interface• Customize configuration sort order• Enhanced Dynamic Reference Visualization to avoid overlapping text and lines• Feature Manager Design Tree comment now support images and screenshots. Comment capability
is extended to almost all nodes in Feature Manager. • Use Hide/Show Items tools in the Heads-up toolbar to hide all items in one click.
Sheet Metal • Ability to create three bend corner reliefs • Punch table support for mirrored and derived parts
Assembly Modeling • New Asset Publisher, Ground Mates and Magnetic Mates speed equipment layouts• Replace sub-assembly with a multi-body part and maintain downstream references; replace missing references all at once• New options for Concentric Mate to mate to holes, even if they are misaligned• Ability to include drawing files when importing structures in tree house
Sketching
. • Sketch offset now supports 3D Geometry surfaces • Shaded sketch contours allows for closed contour verification, dragging, resizing, and applying relations• A dynamic buffer zone now helps us reduce the cases of accidental micro lines
Toolbox• Purge inactive toolbox configuration data• Update all toolbox components at the top level or in a subassembly in a single action
Part Modeling
.
• Create bidirectional circular patterns (symmetrical and asymmetrical)• Define advanced holes from the near and far side faces of the model• The Rebuild All Configurations tool is now available in multiple, more visible locations • Derived part now retain their references when the original body is modified using Boolean
operations• Control decals and scenes by Display States
SOLIDWORKS 2017 Quick Reference
Focus on Design, Not Software
Solve Complex Problems QuicklySOLIDWORKS Simulation • Display simulation results in SOLIDWORKS Graphics Area to more clearly guide design• Easily solve complex contact scenarios with Arc Length Control for Nonlinear Contact• Plastics: Part Mass can be used in addition to gate temperature for gate freeze and pressure holding time
determination• Flow: Multi parameter optimization is added to the Parametric Study. You can now conduct optimization
study for more than one input variable
• Reduce upgrade time between service packs; PDM now allows a mismatch between client andserver components within the same major version
• Automatically generate SOLIDWORKS MBD 3D PDFs• Reduce archive size with the option to overwrite latest version• Quickly change preview units and view exploded states• Roll back a file while maintaining dynamic references• Quickly change preview units and view exploded states• Automatically generate PDFs of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and dwg/dxf format files
eDrawings• Measure and password-protect documents with the free version of eDrawings• Access Custom Properties• Open and view more file types, including: IGES, STEP, AP242, CATIA V5, Autodesk Inventor, and 3DXML
Routing• Secure distinct routes through clips• Reuse routes for tubes and hoses • Flatten and edit disjointed electrical routes
Mate Controller• Create configurations from positions• Path mates are now a supported mate type
Costing• Rules-based costing for parts• Cost subassemblies or apply purchased cost to them• Switch to a time-based costing method in the sheet metal template for the cut operations
Solidworks Electrical• Maintain data structures according to company standards with data file shortcuts• Quickly associate external SOLIDWORKS Assemblies to existing projects• Automatically update project-level reports to ensure project data is up to date before printing, exporting, or
archiving• Automate schematic creation with Microsoft Excel• Quickly find and correct potential design errors with links in Design Rule Check reports• Group multiple parts together as Super Parts and quickly add them to a project• Include reports in line diagrams or schematics, rather than on a separate sheet
