The latest functional delivery of SOLIDWORKS is here, which means new enhancements you can start taking advantage of right away! This update has some huge productivity gains, including selective opening of assembly components, AI-powered automatic fastener recognition and assembly, AI-powered improvements for automatic drawing creation, mid-session offline mode, and much more.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the top 10 enhancements for design and modeling in the R2025x FD03 update for 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS with Cloud Services.<\/p>\n

  1. Selective Loading of Assembly Components<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 work more efficiently and collaboratively on large assemblies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With\u00a03D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, you can streamline your design process by selectively opening sections of your design structure from the\u00a03D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform. Visualize component relationships and use advanced filtering to find relevant components. After saving a Filter, you can open it in SOLIDWORKS. Save time and boost collaboration by allowing multiple designers to work efficiently on the same large assembly without interfering with each other.<\/p>\n

    1. AI-based Automatic Fastener Recognition and Assembly<\/strong> \u2013 save time on manually assembling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      This one is my personal favorite. When inserting components into assemblies, SOLIDWORKS will automatically recognize components that appear to be nuts, bolts, or washers as fasteners, AND automatically assemble them.<\/p>\n

      As you know, we have automatic fastener assembly when using SOLIDWORKS Toolbox components. However, we know many of you use custom or outsourced fasteners from other catalogs. Now, this capability extends to non-toolbox components. Drop in these parts, and boom, they will automatically be snapped into place, saving you time from having to do each component separately.<\/p>\n

      1. Generative Drawing Creation<\/strong> \u2013 accelerate drawing creation with AI-assisted enhancements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        In FD01 earlier this year, we added the capability to automatically create drawings with the simple click of a button, so you wouldn\u2019t have to create them from scratch. In this update, we\u2019ve done a lot in the way of automated drawings, including the following exciting enhancements:<\/p>\n
