Things which were not possible in 2009 and earlier, such as creating a mirrored version of a part and having the handed version in the same part file but a different configuration, complete customisation of the heads up display toolbar, multi-body sheet metal parts, might not sound like ground-breaking new technology but they all add up to a much nicer user experience. You will notice lots of small, but significant enhancements to several regularly used commands allowing you to work smarter and faster. The algorithms used have been streamlined making them faster and more efficient. SOLIDWORKS 2010, takes a look at the core tools which everyone uses, every day, and has refined, tuned and improved these.
With such a large customer base, with a very large percentage of these users actively engaged in the SOLIDWORKS community, it would not be fair to keep adding new 'niche' features to satisfy some very narrow criteria. Previous versions of SOLIDWORKS have seen unprecedented levels of new tools and features which have grown into the vast and comprehensive set available today.Įarlier this year, SOLIDWORKS reached a major milestone of 1,000,000 licenses sold.
It is a slight change of focus from what has been seen in the past. SOLIDWORKS 2010, the 18th version of the MCAD software was released today.
