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.

SOLIDWORKS Manage 2020 enhancements don’t stop with processes as outline in Part 1 of this blog article that you can read here. Here are a few more that SOLIDWORKS has given us with this new release.

Oh, how time flies by! Remember last year’s SOLIDWORKS 2019 release? It seems like yesterday. Well, today is tomorrow! Last year a new feature was released to give more flexibility during the creation of large welded designs: Structure Systems. 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.

New in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2020 it is possible to specify the altitude of the system you are setting up. Flow Simulation will then apply the appropriate pressure and temperature conditions for the desired altitude. This enhancement will make it easier to work with different scenarios when using Parametric Studies in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2020

The management of user rights at a more granular level has been an often-requested enhancement. Previously, if the permissions did not fall into one of the pre-defined profiles there was not a way to get part of one and part of another. With SolidWorks Electrical 2020 there are significant improvements to the user-rights management.
