Product catalog summary
Sketch Enhancements
SolidWorks 2014 introduces several enhancements to sketching capabilities, including the ability to replace sketch entities, set scale for sketches and pictures upon adding the first dimension, and new dimension options for 2D splines and path lengths. These improvements aim to streamline the conceptualization and design process, making it faster and easier.
Advanced Shape Control
The new Style Spline functionality allows for the creation of complex geometries with improved control over spline curvature. Additionally, new Conic Fillet controls provide smoother transitions, enhancing the ability to create complex surfaces and organic shapes with precision.
Enhanced Assembly Performance and Visualization
New features such as the in-context Quick Mate toolbar and improved Section View performance facilitate faster assembly creation and visualization. The addition of rotation in Explode Steps and new Slot Mate features further enhance assembly efficiency.
Design Communication and Collaboration
Augmented Reality experiences are now possible with eDrawings and eDrawings Professional iOS apps, with support extended to Android devices. This allows for more lifelike design communication and collaboration.
New Sheet Metal Features
SolidWorks 2014 introduces a new Sheet Metal Gusset feature and improved control over corner treatments, enhancing the creation and manufacturing output of sheet metal geometries.
SolidWorks Enterprise PDM Streamlined Workflow
Customizable user interfaces and automated cache management streamline workflow processes. Integration with Microsoft Office enhances vault operations, improving productivity.
Streamlined Cost Estimating and Reporting
New options for cost estimation and integration with Microsoft Excel improve the efficiency and sharing of cost data, simplifying the costing setup process.
Streamlined Simulation Setup
SolidWorks Simulation now leverages existing data for simulations, reducing duplication of effort and enabling concurrent engineering.
SolidWorks Electrical Improved Integration and Performance
Enhanced capabilities for wire, cable, and harness development, along with improved project collaboration through single-button publishing and check-in/check-out features.
Faster Drawing Detailing
New features for drawing detailing, such as angular running dimensions and automatic table row limits, improve the speed and automation of drawing processes.
