Overview
Use SOLIDWORKS to establish design standards, and then check drawings (or models) against them as you design to ensure consistent and complete drawing outputs. With SOLIDWORKS you can:
- Verify designs against company standards
- Automatically correct nonconforming design and drafting issues
- Build Checks—Set up and save specific design and drafting checks
- Use Check Active Document—Run the check to validate your document (drawing or model) against the requirement
- Use Check Against Existing File—Validate the active document against design checks created from existing files
- Learn Checks Wizard—Retrieve design checks based on attributes from an existing SOLIDWORKS part, assembly, or drawing document
- Check specifically for fonts, dimension arrows, units, and other documentation details
- Compare your drawing to past results from reviews of other drawings
PhotoView 360 Overview
Generating high quality, life-like images and animations is a critical capability that can be used to enhance proposals, presentations, and submissions. People want to see 3D models as they would appear in real life, using specific colors and materials, in a specific environment or setting. They also want to interact, to maneuver around and through the design to gain perspectives impossible in 2D.
SOLIDWORKS PhotoView 360 tools enable you to create photorealistic renderings and animations right from the 3D CAD model, including:
- Apply Appearances—Adjust elements of your model including color, texture, and illumination
- Apply Scenes—Set and control the background and surroundings
- Decals—For labeling, branding, stickers, instrument faces, etc.
- Integrated Preview—View your output in a preview window before fully rendering
- Rendering Options—Control output image resolution, animation frame rates, etc.
- Final Renderer—Generate detailed output after your preview
- Rendering Scheduler—Set up your rendering to run during off-hours
- Rendering templates—Save rendering settings for later use to ensure consistent output
