Summer is here in the states, and I don\u2019t know about you, but I could use a vacation. I have been daydreaming about sipping a margarita in Cancun. I\u2019ll daydream on my own time. Right now, I\u2019ve got bigger fish to fry as I\u2019ve got to fill you in on what\u2019s new in 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE\u00ae SOLIDWORKS.<\/p>\n

For those of you who don\u2019t know, 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS is a cloud-connected role that connects your data to the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform, where you can leverage data management capabilities in the cloud.<\/p>\n

The latest update is here, and guess what? Offline mode is here! There\u2019s also a new Welcome app, and some other great functional and user experience enhancements. Here are my top five.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go Mobile with Offline Mode \u2013 <\/strong>work from anywhere, anytime, on any device.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    They say go big or go home. Now you can do both with this flexible option. You can work in offline mode while you travel, on site, at home or at the office.<\/p>\n

    Internet crashes, no problem. We\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n

    This enhancement is pretty straightforward. But if you\u2019re interested in learning more stay tuned for an upcoming blog mid-August.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. NEW Welcome App \u2014 <\/strong>great for new and seasoned users \u2013 save time with helpful resources right at your fingertips.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Learn about features, access SOLIDWORKS\u00ae online communities, and launch your other roles and apps straight from the new Welcome app.<\/p>\n

      The Welcome app will have you up and running quickly on 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS features, and other roles you own. It includes short how-to videos on everything from getting started, navigating around the interface and managing content. It also has Sample Content, where you can open a model to get a feel for some of the capabilities. If you want to quickly reach out to your peers or the SOLIDWORKS team, you can instantly access an online community or contact SOLIDWORKS support.<\/p>\n

      You can even access the full library of tutorials in the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE EDU Space learning platform for more in-depth tutorials.<\/p>\n

      It\u2019s all conveniently located in the Welcome app right at your fingertips.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. SOLIDWORKS Data Extraction on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform for Non-CAD Users \u2013<\/strong> improve collaboration with your colleagues.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        We\u2019ve added a super nifty enhancement for collaboration that enables colleagues who have the 3D Product Architect role, but don\u2019t have SOLIDWORKS, to extract native SOLIDWORKS data from the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform. They can easily access the data using the Product Structure Editor app.<\/p>\n

        This is extremely useful if the data needs to be accessed for marketing purposes or for sharing downstream with external stakeholders, such as vendors or manufacturers.<\/p>\n

        \"\"
        Collaboration just got better. 3D Product Architect Role owners (with access rights of course) can now extract your native SOLIDWORKS data right from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for improved collaboration.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Match Drawing Title Name After Its Parent<\/strong> \u2013 save time and the headache of keeping track of your children.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Easily keep track of your children (not the ones at home), with the option to match a drawing title to its parent\/assembly title. This flexible option is useful when auto-aligning a drawing title to avoid mismatched titles.<\/p>\n

          It\u2019s also helpful when you are working on a drawing and forgot its assembly name.<\/p>\n

          This is a widely sought-after technique in the industry and now you have it.<\/p>\n

          \"\"
          Save time and headaches when trying to remember titles of assemblies and its children (components) with the option to use a part or assembly title as ne drawing title.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. NEW Revisions Comment Property \u2013 <\/strong>improve your revision comment workflow.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Last, but not last there\u2019s a new option for administration to map the revision comment as a CAD attribute and link it to SOLIDWORKS file properties.<\/p>\n

            This helps communicate accurate detail on a drawing by allowing the design approver to enter a revision comment directly from the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform using ENOVIA applications such as Product Structure Editor or Product Explorer.<\/p>\n

            That\u2019s a wrap of my top five for this release, which is just a glimpse of what\u2019s new.<\/p>\n
