Every year SOLIDWORKS releases a new version of its flagship product, and last year, a new tradition was born here on the Blogs. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be taking a Sneak Peek at 15 new features here on the SolidApps Blog, and then we’ll be following them up with short, detailed videos on the functionality beginning September 23rd. Until then, you can learn more about SOLIDWORKS 2016 by clicking the banner above and checking out the Beta Program.
DimXpert for Assemblies
To use DimXpert in assemblies:
1. Open an assembly.
2. Click Document Properties > Tools > Options, and set DimXpert options, such as Geometric Tolerance.
3. Insert dimensions and geometric tolerances manually or automatically.
4. Save the assembly.
DimXpert dimensions created in parts and subassemblies will not appear in the open assembly. Only DimXpert annotations created in the open assembly will appear in the open assembly.
