Mark kicks us off with one of the most anticipated enhancements ever - Save As Previous Release. This enhancement lets you save your parts, assemblies, or drawings up to 2 versions in reverse.
Next, we see a great improvement to the hole wizard. Now, you can use existing sketch entities instead of relying on the point tool.
Later, Mark takes us through the new Stamp Tool for SOLIDWORKS Sheet Metal. New in SOLIDWORKS 2024, you can create a stamp feature without needing a forming tool. This speeds up your design process and consolidates commands into a single feature.
Mark then reviews the latest enhancement to the defeature tool - a rules-based defeature. This accelerates the process of simplifying your models and improves the security of your models.
If you've ever found your circular or linear pattern broken by a mate reference switching features, this is your enhancement. The auto-repair feature will find features relative to the original mate position and attempt to repair it with a single click.
Mark shows off a great enhancement for SOLIDWORKS Plastics next. Now, you can compare the results of multiple studies all at once using split views. This makes it easy to compare the results of different tests and draw conclusions more quickly.
Mark's last enhancement is for SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D Cabinet Layouts. Now you can align components along the 4 major directions as well as evenly space components as required.
Jesse's turn to show off his favorite new features and he kicks off with a way to share files with external users. What's especially powerful is that users don't need a full license of SOLIDWORKS to participate in the share and markup process!
Our next enhancement makes it easier to export 3D model data directly into a formatted PowerPoint template. Now, you can quickly prepare for a design review meeting without worrying about screenshots and populating model data.
In the xTools, you can now quickly switch from one feature to another. In Jesse's final example, he changes from an extrusion to a sweep and never has to cancel a command to do it.
