SolidWorks 2025 

1. Drawing overload and management optimization:
Drawing Reloading: Users only need to click the "Reinstall" button to quickly restore the drawing to the last disk saved state without reopening the file. This feature is particularly critical when dealing with large and complex engineering drawings.
Drawing management optimization: The new version of the drawing management interface is more intuitive and concise, supporting custom user interfaces, further enhancing the convenience and comfort of work.
2. BOM list optimization:
Detailed cutting list: Added the option of detailed cutting list, especially for assemblies containing welded components, which can automatically expand the welding cutting list, making BOM information more detailed and accurate.
BOM quantity calculation: Designers can recalculate and count various attribute types of welded components, such as length, angle, weight, etc., to provide more accurate data support for design and manufacturing.
3. Annotation and export improvement:
ISO compliant annotations: The annotation symbol options have been updated according to the ISO 21920 standard to ensure that the annotations comply with the new standard.
Quickly add duplicate comments: Users can use commonly saved styles to quickly add duplicate comments, improving the efficiency and accuracy of annotation.
4. Enhanced collaboration and data management:
Real time collaboration: Access the community directly from SolidWorks, easily establish connections and collaborate with industry peers.
Real time notifications: Utilize real-time notifications to stay up-to-date with the latest developments and ensure that the latest version of files is always used during the collaborative design process.
SOLIDWORKS PDM Integration: Fully utilize existing SOLIDWORKS PDM to improve data management efficiency.
5. Better part modeling:
Chamfering command selection accelerator: Quickly select edges to improve efficiency.
Continuous mixed rounded edges: Create smoother variable size rounded corners.
Automatic creation of bending grooves: On the flat bending line of sheet metal parts, customizable bending grooves are automatically created.
6. Stronger performance:
Side profile elimination feature: Create highly simplified parts and associate them with their parent parts.
SpeedPak configuration: SpeedPak configuration can be added to the top-level assembly without modifying the sub assembly.
Accelerated Quality Attribute Calculation: Using the previously calculated quality values of parts and entities, accelerate the calculation of quality attributes.
7. Faster assembly modeling:
Copy assembly components and fittings: Copy assembly components and related advanced fittings and mechanical fittings together.
Interference detection: detecting interference between curved entities or between surfaces and entities.
Interference detection in large-scale design review mode: ensuring the manufacturability of the design.
8. More flexible 3D dimension annotation and tolerance analysis:
DimXpert size support: Create DimXpert sizes based on sketch dimensions.
Step 242 Export Settings: Communicate product manufacturing information (PMI) to downstream in a more flexible and controlled manner.
9. Improved wiring harness board engineering drawing:
Automatic positioning function: Improve the automatic positioning function of tables, dimensions, part numbers, and formats.
Automatically update electrical wiring harness document: After completing design changes, automatically update the electrical wiring harness document.
10. Simplify ECAD/MCAD collaboration and design:
Import IDX file: Import internal and external copper wire features such as vias, traces, and shapes into SolidWorks.
More detailed copper trace information: achieve more accurate quality, thermal, structural, impact, and electromagnetic analysis.
11. Improved immersive rendering output:
Photo realistic rendering: Use SOLIDWORKS Visualize and SOLIDWORKS API to automatically create photo realistic rendering.
Real time interactive ray tracing: Based on the open standard Vulkan API, real-time interactive ray tracing is used for 3D graphics and computing.
