There is a warning that this will increase the file size. Selecting Document Properties>Model Display allows for the selection of Store appearance, decal, and scene data in model file. When the Options button is selected in the Save Configurations to eDrawings file dialogue box, it opens System Options. For decals to show in eDrawings they must be saved within the eDrawings file There is now the ability to display Decals in eDrawings 2018. There are also additional Options available via the Save Configurations to eDrawings dialogue box. There is also the same ability to select and create STEP files for each different configuration. It also provides the ability to create and attach a STEP file of the model, that will be saved within the eDrawings file! The STEP format can be either AP214 or AP203. This allows the selection of which configurations is to be saved to a eDrawings format.
If the model has configurations associated with it, these will now be shown. Now when either Publishing to/ or Saving As a eDrawings format, from within SOLIDWORKS 2018, a new Save Configurations to eDrawings file dialogue box opens. You won’t be able to work on the file however, the design tree just has one feature listed as a “Future version file.SOLIDWORKS 2018 introduces a couple of very interesting enhancements to eDrawings 2018. However, in SW 2018 SP5, an enhancement was introduced that will allow the user to open and view future version of SOLIDWORKS files. Every time SOLIDWORKS enhances the software with new tools or performance increases, this poses challenges for working with older files. The reason for this is because SOLIDWORKS is always evolving. (For example, a SW 2018 file can open files created in SW 2017.)įorward compatibility does not currently exist for SOLIDWORKS. SOLIDWORKS has always been backward compatible, meaning that the most recent version of SOLIDWORKS can open all previous version of SOLIDWORKS. Let’s start with what is backwards compatibility and what does it mean? Backwards compatibility refers to a software (in this case SOLIDWORKS) that can read and write or even view older files. I want to spend some time talking about backwards compatibility (downward compatible), also, which files SOLIDWORKS can open and read.
When it comes to capabilities of SOLIDWORKS files, there is much to keep in mind.
