Each year SOLIDWORKS releases a new version of it\u2019s flagship product. This year, during the 15 days prior to the release of SOLIDWORKS 2015, we\u2019re taking a look at 15 new items coming in this feature packed release.<\/p>\n

\"Profile<\/a><\/p>\n

Profile Center Mate<\/strong>, one of the new features in SOLIDWORKS 2015 is sure to be a favorite of any user who creates Assemblies on a regular basis. The Profile Center Mate locates the centers of two items to each other regardless of their size or shape. A few options for the new mate include an offset and the ability to change the orientation in 90 degree increments. The best part about this mate is, if the size or location of the selection is changed, the Profile Center mate maintains the intelligence to keep them centered on one another!<\/p>\n

The Profile Center Mate can also be used to fully locate round items such as screws. The mate\u00a0locks two circular profiles to each other and their rotation can be locked at the same time as well. This means it only requires a single mate to\u00a0fully locate a screw now. This is a huge time saver and can help to minimize the number of mates in an assembly, and I look forward to using it regularly myself.<\/p>\n
