Improved Bill of Characteristics with new grid layout and group/ungroup. Increased productivity and flexibility with SOLIDWORKS Inspection. New icons, new commands and support for five new languages. Import PMI data directly from SOLIDWORKS models into SOLIDWORKS Composer. SOLIDWORKS PDM integration enables access to PDM functionality directly from the ribbon within SOLIDWORKS Composer. Improved workflows for technical documentation with SOLIDWORKS Composer. Tooling improved with support for tapered shanks and more parameters.

Create machine-specific machining strategies. Feed-rate allows slowdown when approaching sharp corners and arcs. Smarter machining with SOLIDWORKS CAM/Machinist. Corner Slow Down and Arc. In addition to enhancements that improve design, many enhancements have been added to improve manufacturing including: If you change the material, the sheet metal parameters also update automatically. In addition for sheet metal, when you assign a custom material to a sheet metal part, you can link sheet metal parameters, such as K factor and thickness, to the material. Sheet metal improvements that speed design and manufacturing. Enhancements to the Tab and Slot tool include default through all cuts for slots, options to customize slot size and corner shapes during feature creation, the ability to select non-linear edges along which to create tabs versus merely linear edges, and the ability to group tab and slot features so that all the selected tab and slot features can be made uniform and modified as a group versus individually. More powerful simulation capabilities. Topology Optimization provides Stress and Frequency constraints/goals when optimizing parts.
