Workflow Improvements with Every Release

In the last decade, SOLIDWORKS has made large workflow changes that result in efficiency gains for users. Applications Engineer Cody Pendzich walks through the biggest features added in the last decade, that compose his list of favorites.
3 Areas of Streamlining & Efficiency
We talk about user interface improvements including the addition of breadcrumbs, reference visualization arrows, and context-sensitive commands. There are also powerful new modeling features; 3D Interconnect removes file translation issues from the design process entirely! And finally, SOLIDWORKS can process more operations, and faster. SOLIDWORKS chose to leverage GPU for graphical data. The speed at which you can work with large assemblies and drawings is vastly improved.
