SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE rolled out a little differently this year. If you treated yourself to one of GSC\u2019s virtual 2021 What’s New Recaps<\/a><\/strong>, you saw our 25-year veteran Jeff Setzer unveil myriad new features in 2021 through the eyes of Square Robot\u2019s AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle).\u00a0 And just as in years past, this 3 hour \u2018deep dive\u2019 proved to be only the tip of the iceberg!<\/p>\n

Just like an iceberg, most of the mass is below the surface, so let\u2019s take an \u2018in depth\u2019 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!<\/p>\n

Below is a list and brief description of several new features where I show you my top 5. But don\u2019t take my word for it, read over the notes and see how 2021 can benefit you!<\/p>\n

5. Use Splines & Arcs to Define Your Routing Path (EW_Path)<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Check out\u00a0this video displaying new possibilities in 3D Routing<\/strong><\/a>, also embedded below this text. Where our routes always resulted in lines and splines for our routes, we now can\u00a0use<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0splines, along with lines and arcs to guide our routes.<\/p>\n
