New for SOLIDWORKS 2020 is Flip Width Mate Alignment, the ability to flip the Mate Alignment of a new or existing Width Mate. This will even let you reverse the alignment of a width mate for assemblies created in older releases of SOLIDWORKS. The alignment buttons normally would be greyed out at the bottom of the Advanced Mate dialog box.

Introduced in SOLIDWORKS 2019, SOLIDWORKS 2020 markups are more powerful, easier to work with, and are now available without the requirements of certain hardware.

One of the little tricks we have all learned to live with while installing SOLIDWORKS with admin images is how to deal with Toolbox. This is especially true when the toolbox is in the SOLIDWORKS PDM vault or on a shared network location. Well as of SOLIDWORKS 2020 Toolbox Installation this is no longer an issue.

New in SOLIDWORKS 2020 you can add multiple contiguous features into an existing folder in the Feature Manager design tree. You can also now place a folder inside another folder.

Oh, how time flies by! Remember last year’s SOLIDWORKS 2019 release? It seems like yesterday. Well, today is tomorrow!

And, we have new SOLIDWORKS 2020 Structure Systems improvements to review this year.

With SOLIDWORKS 2020 Alternate Position Views, SOLIDWORKS has again listened to their users and enhanced the functionality by adding the ability to show alternate position views for parts. Your ability to add alternate position views for assemblies has been around since SOLIDWORKS 2001 and now SOLIDWORKS has added the same ability for parts.

Solidworks 2020 Drawing Markups has given you even more ways to communicate with vendors, coworkers, or customers. The new Markup tools in SOLIDWORKS allow us to do this both with touch mode and with a mouse.

SolidWorks 2020 Promises a host of new features and tools to make our lives easier. This new feature has been something designers and engineers have been asking for, for a long time. Brand new in Solidworks 2020 you can now add hole callouts to sections views.

In SOLIDWORKS 2020 Assemblies you can now reuse a part that has in-context relationships to other assemblies. If you take the part and place it into a new assembly, you can remap the out of context reference using Make Part Flexible. Now, when the new assembly moves relative to the flexible part, the part updates as well.
