What's New in SolidWorks Education Edition 2014-2015: Curve Driven Patterns

SOLIDWORKS Education Edition 2014-2015 has some great new features. I will be sharing some of my favorites over the next few weeks. The Curve Driven Pattern feature is great to use in an assembly at the part level.

Assemblies now offer the same patterning capabilities available at the part level, with sketch and curve-driven options added in SolidWorks Education Edition 2014-2015. One key feature is curve-driven patterns. It’s now possible to pattern components or subassemblies along curves in an assembly. This makes creation of patterns, such chains and conveyor systems, faster and easier than ever before.
