The Top 10 New Features in SOLIDWORKS 2019

SOLIDWORKS adds hundreds of new features every single release – and SOLIDWORKS 2019 is no exception. With great improvements in assembly performance, new workflows, and new surface texture features, SOLIDWORKS continues to innovate in 3D CAD.

THE BEST OF SOLIDWORKS 2019 RELEASE

1. NEW 3D TEXTURE TOOL

Convert patterns from an image ﬁle into 3D geometry automatically
Output mesh geometry directly for downstream manufacturing processes
New slicer feature provides workﬂows to develop solid geometry from mesh models

2. IMPROVED EDITING WITH LARGE ASSEMBLY TOOLS

Large Design Review (LDR) mode now supports a number of editing actions
Access and edit mates, add and remove components, and change conﬁgurations
While seeing excellent system performance, leverage magnetic mates and reference geometry for a quick layout of large facilities and plants

3. ENHANCED GRAPHICAL PERFORMANCE

SOLIDWORKS 2019 takes advantage of the latest graphics card technology for GPU processing of a graphical display
Manipulate large assemblies without experiencing delays or compromising visual quality.
Similar technology powers the new AI Denoiser in SOLIDWORKS Visualize

4. MODEL-BASED DEFINITION (MBD) FOR SHEET METAL PARTS

SOLIDWORKS MBD outputs now capture sheet metal bend notes, ﬂat patterns, and bend tables (requires SOLIDWORKS MBD)
Assembly-level PMI is now available for all SOLIDWORKS users, and PMI for parts and assemblies can be imported into SOLIDWORKS Composer
Also allows secure password-protected 3D PDF creation with control over printing, copying and

5. IMPROVED TOPOLOGY STUDY CONSTRAINTS FOR GENERATIVE DESIGN

Perform generative part design considering strength, stiffness, and now frequency constraints
Design optimal geometry to meet product performance goals, with more input options
Leverage mesh modeling tools in SOLID- WORKS to prepare generative designs for additive manufacturing processes

6. ENHANCED EDRAWINGS OUTPUT FORMATS

eDrawings Viewer now includes measure, markup, comment capability
Improved performance, including support for GPU processing
eDrawings Pro enables direct export to 3D HTML, as well as formats to support AR/VR devices

7. DIRECT 3D MARKUP TOOLS

Add markup and notes directly to your 3D model
Support for pen and touch interfaces for quick and natural design commenting
Markup views are saved with the ﬁle and are accessible to all members of your design community

8. NEW CHAMFER AND FILLET CREATION OPTIONS

Create partial chamfers and ﬁllets along a portion of an edge
Control ﬁllet and chamfer creation with handy graphical controls
Also in a part model, avoid errors by performing interference detection on multi-body parts

9. ENHANCED MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCY WITH SOLIDWORKS CAM

Deﬁne multiple manufacturing setups and take advantage of the power of conﬁgurations
More control of feed-in/out and hole start and end positions for machining operations
Manual adjustment of machining features using the “Move” command

10. REMOVED SECTION VIEWS IN DRAWINGS

Quickly create a section view at a slice through a model without needed construction geometry
Also in drawings, directly add GD&T and other tolerance information to dimension text
BOM exports include graphical preview images of part geometry for better communication
