<\/a><\/p>\nPerformance is always top of mind at SOLIDWORKS, and 2020 includes enhancements to improve working with large projects.\u00a0\u00a0 These are projects with hundreds of schematic sheets or from-to connection details.\u00a0 Improvements were made both within the User Interfaces as well as behind the scenes in data processing.\u00a0 You will notice these improvements all over the software, including the cable manager, the document browser panel and report previews, as well as when using functions like copy\/paste or delete with books, folders and schemes.\u00a0 The average performance increase across these areas is 85%.\u00a0 Some performance improvements are accompanied by neat User Interface updates such as defining the number of displayed rows in a report preview and a toggle button to update schematic sheet previews.<\/p>\n
SOLIDWORKS Electrical 2020 also has new functionality to help keep your design data secure and accurate. SOLIDWORKS Electrical has always had five user rights profiles with tiered permission levels that control how much users can view and modify in the software. New in 2020, you can create custom profiles where each functionality can be enabled and disabled individually. You can use an existing profile as a template for a custom one by selecting an existing profile before clicking \u201cNew profile.\u201d\u00a0 Open the Feature Grid to manage access to the individual elements of each feature pack.\u00a0 Administrators in 2020 now have granular control over user rights with just one click.<\/p>\n SOLIDWORKS Electrical 2020 has added the ability to number different wires by style when on the same equipotential.\u00a0 This is needed in many different scenarios, from grounding circuits to industry-specific standards. For the connected wire styles to retain their independent properties and numbering formula, numbering must be by wire and the wire styles must be in different wire style groups.\u00a0 Wires can either be connected at a component connection point or by attaching one wire\u2019s end to a segment of another.\u00a0 When using this functionality, it is important to keep in mind that SOLIDWORKS Electrical determines which wire style to use based on the wire\u2019s origin.\u00a0 Wire origin can be viewed and modified from the Wire Cabling Manager.<\/p>\n Row numbers in reports improve readability and are essential when creating reference to Bill of Materials\u2019 items.\u00a0 Previously, generating row numbers required SQL expertise as you had to directly modify the query that populates the report. \u00a0Now in 2020, add rows to any report with just one button click \u2013 no need to make any SQL query modifications. \u00a0Sorts, breaks and filters can still be applied without disordering the report results since these row numbers are not tied to specific data rows.\u00a0 SOLIDWORKS Electrical 2020 makes it easier than ever to get your reports ready.<\/p>\n Another important part of completing design projects are adding design notes.\u00a0 A common method to convey these are text and balloons with leader lines.\u00a0 New in SOLIDWORKS Electrical, these annotations have a dedicated commands, as well as a style manager.\u00a0 From the style manager, use the editor to define the appearance details.\u00a0 In addition to important details like block shape and scale, the editor can be used to specify line segments, landing details, arrowhead symbols, spline leaders and more.\u00a0 If you have added row numbers to your BOM, you can use leader lines to reference the item numbers for a robust 2D Cabinet Layout drawing.<\/p>\n It\u2019s easy to finish design work and get products to market quickly with SOLIDWORKS Electrical 2020.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic has added many new features this release to make completing electrical design projects easier than ever.
