Automatic Client Update

Bridge
Web Service for data exchange
- A new Web Service to exchange data with ERP systems.
- This new mode of operation guarantees an higher level of security (SQL data are accessible only through Web Service and not directly) and a more standard and robust way of exchanging data.
- Creating an Integr@ connector on the ERP side will be now simpler and easyer.
Import filters
- It is now possible to define import filters to control which file extensions to consider and which configurations to create/update during the import process.
Contextual import menu
- You can trigger an import process on a single file by selecting the file, right clicking the mouse, and selecting ‘Import Item Data’ or ‘Import BOM’.
- In both cases only the selected file data will be imported.
Configuration Tool
Configuration management with a dedicated tab in PDM
- In PDM a tab has been added allowing you to manage versions, revisions and properties of a single Solidworks file configuration.
Advanced search for configurations
- You can search for a property value in specific configurations (i.e.: find all files in wich configuration ‘Default’ contains ‘XYZ’ in Code property).
Publisher
Performance boost
- Now loading a SOLIDWORS assembly is on average 50% faster than previous versions.
DWG/DXF management with DraftSight
- With DraftSight Professional or higher Integr@ Publisher allows you to print and convert dwg / dxf files with more accuracy.
Redesigned user interface
- Settings windows layout has been redesigned to be more readable and allow greater flexibility in print or conversion settings with dynamic custom filters.

Encoding a selected configuration in SOLIDWORKS
- You can now re-encode a configuration from the SOLIDWORKS Configuration Manager.
