You have to be a Jedi Master to know this stuff. Because the online help is like ""VAT is easy"" in twelve volumes.
Thanks for the tip!
In the same vein (to be explored) because there is a certain antagonism with the "detached drawing"
Lean drawings are similar to lightweight assemblies. By default, most assembly drawings are opened in a lightweight state, and only a portion of the model data is loaded into memory. The remaining data is loaded as needed.
The performance of drawings of complex assemblies increases significantly with lean drawings. The effectiveness of Lean drawings stems from the fact that model-specific data is loaded as needed.
Also a very useful function, namely "the restore function" in excel, word and many other apps. (the "redo" function allows you to undo a recent undo operation. Until SOLIDWORKS 2020, its use was limited to sketches.). This function did not exist in case of a wrong operation but no possibility of going back.
Solidworks finally knows how to "restore" http://help.solidworks.com/2021/french/whatsnew/c_wn2021_parts_redo_support_features.htm https://www.javelin-tech.com/blog/fr/2021/01/redo-support-for-part-features-in-solidworks-2021/
The one I'll like when I switch to the 2021 :-)
The ability to export interference detection results as a spreadsheet but with the inclusion of room thumbnails. Indeed, on big ASMs it is not always easy to see where exactly the interference is
yes that's the kind of thing you learn at the JEDI temple.
the detached drawing is like a photo, a dead body so no calculation time, blue bubble so to dimension annotation it's great very fast opening but the disadvantage is the addition of cuts or modification in the 3 D there you are forced to reload the plan in full. the best is to prepare your plan with all the views and sections and save in detached drawing this way if crash you can come back to it very quickly, to finish a plan the next day big quick opening no need for 3D.
Less of a fan of lighter shots because it implies that you are in a full loaded 3D so with an intention to make cuts or other and in this case if you make a cut you are obliged to put in a resolved state to make this cut. In clear sooner or later you will go into solved. I'm still in a state of resolution to avoid the latency of the parts loading.
I have just switched to the 2021 version and I am experiencing a problem that I did not have before, it is impossible for me to put bubbles related to the nomenclature on exploded assemblies.
A workaround worked in 2020 but this is no longer the case in 2021. (Enable exploded configuration in 3D, in the plan select the drawing view > Disable, then activate the "Show in exploded or model break state" option).
You will need to bubble with an unexploded setup, to burst afterwards, the bubbles will remain attached
We did the migration in the second quarter (with PDM too) from 2019 SP5 to 2021 SP3 and for a while to SP4.1.
For us it was a disaster: crashes, fully loaded graphics cards (very unstable shading, sometimes even non-existent, forced to refresh non-stop), functions that work well at startup and then after a certain amount of work time don't work anymore... There is something for everyone (or dislike). Almost everyone regrets migration.
It's true, on the other side of the coin there have been improvements for certain functions, but frankly we would do without them because we have really lost a real comfort of work that we had before.
For heavy drawing under SW2020: hatching with a scale greater than 2 must ABSOLUTELY be avoided.
Also avoid complicated patterns (like "houndstooth").
If you want SW to improve the thing one day, go vote for the RPD 1156484.
