2015 - Solidworks

| Tool | Purpose | |------|---------| | | Sort parts by mass, volume, or custom properties (good for lightweighting). | | Design Checker | Ensure drawings meet company standards (templates, fonts, tolerances). | | Compare Documents | Find geometry or property differences between two parts/drawings. | | Feature Freeze | Prevent recalculation of complex features while editing later ones. | | Defeature | Remove proprietary geometry before sharing files externally. |

Late 2014 Codename: (Internal development names usually not public, but often referred to simply by the year) Significance: The 23rd major release of the CAD software.

(released in late 2014) was a major milestone for Dassault Systèmes, focusing on improving user productivity , expanding technical communication , and reducing software overhead. With over 200 new features , 90% of which were directly requested by the user community, the release aimed to bridge the gap between design and manufacturing.
