SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE rolled out a little differently this year. If you treated yourself to one of GSC’s virtual 2021 What’s New Recaps, you saw our 25-year veteran Jeff Setzer unveil myriad new features in 2021 through the eyes of Square Robot’s AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle).  And just as in years past, this 3 hour ‘deep dive’ proved to be only the tip of the iceberg!

Just like an iceberg, most of the mass is below the surface, so let’s take an ‘in depth’ look at a few of our favorite SOLIDWORKS Electrical 2021 enhancements and how you can put these to work right away once you make the switch!

(Need a refresher? View our SOLIDWORKS Electrical page)

Below is a list and brief description of several new features where I show you my top 5. But don’t take my word for it, read over the notes and see how 2021 can benefit you!

5. Use Splines & Arcs to Define Your Routing Path (EW_Path)

Check out this video displaying new possibilities in 3D Routing, also embedded below this text. Where our routes always resulted in lines and splines for our routes, we now can use splines, along with lines and arcs to guide our routes.

I hope you found this informative and helpful! Enjoy getting the most out of your SOLIDWORKS Electrical Experience (see what I did there?)
