Planning a trip anytime soon? No continuous internet?  No Problem.  We\u2019ve got you covered with new offline mode in Electrical Schematic Designer. If you\u2019re planning to hit the road or hop on an airplane anytime soon you can now take advantage of offline mode to work on your electrical designs. Yes, you can now ditch those sketchy internet connections in the airport and avoid paying for service in flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those not familiar with the Electrical Schematic Designer role, it has the fine features of SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic desktop, including schematic creation, selection of manufacturer\u2019s parts, creation of control panel drawings and organization of the design by functional areas and locations, including control panels or specific areas of a machine or other product.  As part of the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform, you can create, store, manage, and collaborate on your designs on the cloud, taking advantage of its built-in data management, product lifecycle management and collaboration tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the latest release, Electrical Schematic Designer R2022x FD03, we\u2019ve added some really cool enhancements, including the aforementioned offline mode and the ability to add Bookmarks when saving to the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offline mode, for starters, offers extreme flexibility if you need to work somewhere with no internet or low bandwidth and is a great option if you\u2019re traveling for work or vacation to meet those last-minute deadlines or if creativity strikes and you want to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay focused on your electrical designs until you are ready to upload your content to the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform and then just return to online mode to do so. You can work in offline mode for up to 30 days. You never know, maybe you\u2019re on a remote island or a cabin somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This release is really all about flexibility. Another thing I want to talk about is that you now have the ability to add Bookmarks when you are saving a new design or revision to the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform. You\u2019ll find this new feature under the Save with Options command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s a wrap for now, but stay tuned. We\u2019ve got more big things coming and are also celebrating the 10-year anniversary of SOLIDWORKS Electrical desktop and approaching the one-year anniversary for Electrical Schematic Designer. If you haven\u2019t made the leap to the cloud, you\u2019re missing out on all the great benefits and features of the\u00a03D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform including data, project, and lifecycle management along with collaboration tools. Access to 3DPlay on the platform is one of my favourite features. 3DPlay lets you view your 3D models in exploded and section views, along with viewing drawings and other documents plus it is great for collaboration and design reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
