SOLIDWORKS What’s New 2018: Assemblies

SOLIDWORKS What’s New 2018: Assemblies

SOLIDWORKS 2018 introduces enhancements that help you deliver assembly designs in record time and with less effort.

Let’s look at some of them below:

  1. Rotate with Linear Pattern:
    When creating a Linear Pattern of components, you can now add an optional rotation. After choosing the number of instances you can simply select a rotation reference and specify the incremental angle. This, removes the need for adding additional features
  2. ‘ALT’ to hide faces during Mate:
    Adding mates between surfaces that are behind other surfaces can be challenging. SOLIDWORKS 2018 speeds up the process by allowing you to temporarily hide surfaces whilst in the mate command by pressing the ‘ALT’ key. Allowing you quickly add the mate without the need to orient your screen in order to search for background hidden surfaces.
  3. Misaligned Mates:
    In SOLIDWORKS 2018 you can create ‘MISALIGNED mates’. This allows two Concentric Mates that are misaligned to be solved correctly, by maintaining the concentricity of either Mate or by shifting the component symmetrically between the two mates.
  4. Smart Explode Lines:
    In SOLIDWORKS 2018 you can now quickly and easily create automatic explode lines using the new Smart Explode Line tool. SOLIDWORKS automatically gathers all the components in the explode view and previews each explode line.
