For SOLIDWORKS 2015, we wanted to introduce you to some of the people responsible for the new features and let them describe their favorite tools included in the 2015 release. Today\u2019s SOLIDWORKS Expert is Kurt Lundstedt, Product Manager, EPDM\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Kurt on what\u2019s new:<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Copy Tree<\/strong>\u00a0has been available in SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM (EPDM) for many years, but in 2015 the user interface has been completely redesigned making it much easier to create new product structures.\u00a0 As we all know, many companies reuse existing designs to make new ones.\u00a0 These new designs often share many of the same sub-assemblies and components with the prior version as well as incorporating new designs.\u00a0 That\u2019s where Copy Tree comes in handy and in 2015 there are many new features that make it much easier to find and select the files to be reused or copied.\u00a0 Some of the new features include:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"color: #333333;\">\n<li>Selection filters based on file type and\/or any text string in the file name or file property can make a large product structure easy to work with.<\/li>\n<li>Thumbnail previews for SOLIDWORKS files give the user an instant visual clue of the file they are looking at.<\/li>\n<li>Excluded folders so users don\u2019t mistakenly make copies of standard library components<\/li>\n<li>Easy folder and file editing dialogs including searching for destination folders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"color: #333333;\">The driving force behind this feature was customers telling us, both via direct interviews and submitted enhancement requests, that the interface was cumbersome to work with when working with large assembly structures. Another thing we discovered is that it was difficult for users to know what file they were looking at because most companies name their part and assembly files with a part number. Adding thumbnail previews provides users with quick visual feedback so they can make more accurate decisions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #333333;\"><a class=\"zoomLink cboxElement\" style=\"color: #336699;\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/solidworksblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/CopyTree.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-23329 colorbox-23327\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/solidworksblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/09\/CopyTree-615x396.png\" alt=\"CopyTree\" width=\"615\" height=\"396\" \/><\/a>Originally posted in the <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/solidworksblog\/2014\/09\/solidworks-2015-manager-showcase-whats-new-in-epdm.html\" target=\"_blank\">SOLIDWORKS Blog<\/a>, by Mike Fearon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #575757;\"><a style=\"color: #830000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\" alt=\"DoubleRedArrow\" width=\"15\" height=\"10\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a style=\"color: #830000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/products\/products-solidworks\" target=\"_blank\">Find out more on SOLIDWORKS<\/a><br \/>\n<a style=\"color: #830000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\" alt=\"DoubleRedArrow\" width=\"15\" height=\"10\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a style=\"color: #830000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/company\/contact\" target=\"_blank\">Contact Sales<\/a><br \/>\n<a style=\"color: #830000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\" alt=\"DoubleRedArrow\" width=\"15\" height=\"10\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a style=\"color: #830000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/demo-request\" target=\"_blank\">Request a Demo<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #575757;\"><a style=\"color: #830000;\" href=\"http:\/\/mkt.solidworks.com\/emarketing_enu\/start.swe?SWECmd=InvokeMethod&amp;SWEMethod=StartSS&amp;SWEView=URLRouter&amp;SWEApplet=SSRoute&amp;SWENargs=SSId=1-2NJUNBE,SSName=REP+ENG-INTL+SW+3D+for+2D+-+Building+Assemblies,SSLC=,SSCC=,CID=1-2OC1GHW,OID=1-2NJISUY,COID=1-2OC1GHX,PRO=1-NKZ7N\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/REP_3Dfor2DBuildingAssemblies_600x90_SAL.png\" alt=\"REP_3Dfor2DBuildingAssemblies_600x90_SAL\" width=\"600\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SOLIDWORKS annual release starts with feedback provided by you, our community, and finds its way to the people responsible for including your request in our annual release.
