More Efficient 3D Models and 2D Drawings
New drawing tools help you create complex geometries faster and easier with true conic surfacing and intersect feature formation, plus enhanced documentation.
|
Conics in Sketcher
Create smooth transitions between existing geometries using true conic surfacing.
- Create complex or hybrid models faster using surfaces
- Make a parabola, ellipse, or hyperbola tangent to existing geometry
- Use rho value for more precise control
- Easily create bridge curves between existing geometry without using splines

Intersect Feature
Add or remove geometry quickly and easily by intersecting solids, surfaces, and/or planes.
- Faster creation of complex or hybrid models using surfaces
- Simultaneously cut and patch model geometry using open surfaces without having to create an enclosed volume first
- Perform multiple solid geometry intersections simultaneously
- Create solid geometry from negative space

Varying Dimension Patterns
Quickly create variations of pattern instances with expanded SolidWorks patterning capabilities.
- Save time and reduce the number of features
- Increment feature spacing or size in linear and circular patterns
- Select any feature dimension for variation
- Override individual instance dimensions

Elements, Sheet Metal, and Multi-Body Library Features
Quickly design elements, sheet metal, and multi-body parts and increase standardization.
- For Elements—Access overall dimensions of the part bounding box for BOM, cut list, or annotations
- For Sheet Metal—Set and view insertion points for forming tools to determine the precise location of the forming tool relative to the part
- Multi-Body Parts—Use library features on multi-body parts
