It’s that time again! Over the next few weeks, our Territory Technical Managers will be sharing their thoughts and walking us through a closer look at some of their favourite new features in SOLIDWORKS 2017.
SOLIDWORKS 3D Interconnect lets you work seamlessly with third-party native CAD files. You can perform the following actions:
• Insert proprietary CAD data directly into a SOLIDWORKS assembly without converting it to a SOLIDWORKS file.
• Open the proprietary 3D CAD format in the SOLIDWORKS software with its associative link to the original part.
• Update changes in the SOLIDWORKS file if you update the proprietary CAD data in its authoring application by maintaining all downstream features created in SOLIDWORKS.
