Let’s check out what’s new in SOLIDWORKS Inspection 2018.
In SOLIDWORKS 2018 we can even Import the 3D part and assemblies to generate the First article reports and create the detailed Ballooned drawings. Inspection 2018 add-in makes use of the PMI to create the Balloons drawing automatically with just few clicks and can generate the First article reports (FIA) depending upon the standard Inspection reports.
SOLIDWORKS inspection has made a drastic enhancement in Inspection standalone. We can import the 3D part and assemblies from other CAD platforms to SOLIDWORKS Inspection 2018 standalone and we can capture the dimensions with the help of PMI and balloon with the help of Smart extract option. This greatly reduces the time to create the 2D drawings.
SOLIDWORKS Inspection standalone has enhanced its features for legacy drawings and
2D drawings from others CAD software’s like Catia v5, creo and etc. The Smart extract option allows us to select all the dimensions and other properties at a single selection and create the required Ballooned drawings and
The OCR tool has been updated and it can recognize the selection faster and better.
Ballooning options have been updated and now you can customize the balloon shape and
