I’m excited to share with you a recap of some of the top enhancements added in 2024 to the SOLIDWORKS browser-based design apps (known as the xApps) in the SOLIDWORKS Cloud offer.
SOLIDWORKS Cloud features purpose-built solutions for parametric design, freeform design, sheet metal design and more, that you can access from anywhere on any device.
Here’s a look at some of the top enhancements, including popular SOLIDWORKS Desktop enhancements now available in the xApps, including the sheet metal Bend Order Table and Command Search, in addition to the AI-powered Command Predictor and more!
- Command Predictor
Speed up design time with the Command Predictor that uses AI to predict your next move. Simply activate the Command Predictor from the Action bar to display a toolbar with up to seven suggested commands based on your recent design activity. The toolbar dynamically updates with every step, helping you work faster by reducing the need to return to the Action bar. If the Command Predictor toolbar doesn’t display the command you need, simply use the intelligent command search located at the end of the toolbar.
The xApps include many AI-powered features to help increase efficiency and eliminate redundant tasks. Learn more in this blog post.
This is just a glimpse of what was added throughout the year in functional delivery releases. Check out these blog posts for more details about all the enhancements that were added this year: November 2024 Update, July 2024 Update, April 2024 Update, and February 2024 Update.
The first update of the year is coming soon too, in early February! Stay tuned, and if you’d like to weigh in on future updates you can vote here in the Top Ten list. But hurry, voting ends January 26th and will be revealed at this year’s 3DEXPERIENCE World annual user event taking place February 23-26th in Houston, Texas.
