3D Creator<\/a> offers 3D parametric modeling on the cloud that\u00a0complements SOLIDWORKS\u00ae 3D CAD<\/a> with flexible design workflows and a seamless interchange of design data. With its single modeling environment for parts and assemblies, 3D Creator lets you focus on design and not on how you organize your files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recently added updates to 3D Creator, but you don\u2019t need to download or update the product manually. All updates to our cloud-based portfolio of products happen automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll highlight a few of the top capabilities here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sketch Constraint Diagnostics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is easy to mistakenly add one too many dimensions or sketch relations. And it isn\u2019t always easy to figure out what went wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Sketch Constraint Diagnostics update provides step-by-step assistance via a \u201cwizard\u201d that helps resolve over-defined sketch relations, letting you deactivate relations or dimensions that cause issues such as too many controlling parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Shaded Previews<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previews used to be rendered as wireframe and could be challenging to interpret, especially when lines intersected behind each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shaded previews are much easier to see. Now you get a more precise visual representation of what each feature will produce based on input parameters\u2014before<\/em> you hit the OK button\u2014which enables you to get a feature right the first time with fast, clear feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yellow graphics indicate the shaded preview; grey indicates the final committed feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Streamline Assembly Creation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can now search for and select multiple parts\/assemblies to insert into your design and<\/em> drag and drop multiple items and multiple instances of each item into the design, all in one operation. It\u2019s like emptying a box of Lego\u00ae pieces on the floor: You start assembling by attaching each piece one at a time before looking for the next one (instead of searching for a specific part).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Move Components with the Robot<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it\u2019s faster to precisely move components in 3D by limiting the degrees of freedom when dragging \u2014you no longer need to work through the design manager to get precise manipulation parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously you had to click a part in the design manager to move components. Now you click the component and choose \u201cmove with the robot\u201d from the pop-up menu, which allows precise movement in one direction. You can easily move components in any direction with the robot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Freedom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3D Creator gives you the flexibility to work from any location with an internet connection and a browser. With 3D Creator, you no longer need to lug around your CAD workstation or even a laptop since your computing horsepower comes from the cloud on the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE\u00ae platform. You can design from anywhere, at any time, on any device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
