Each year SOLIDWORKS releases a new version of its flagship product. This year, during the 15 days prior to the release of SOLIDWORKS 2015 we’re taking a look at 15 of our favorite new features coming in this feature packed release. To learn more about SOLIDWORKS 2015, you can click the banner above and bookmark the launch page for when it goes live on September 9th, 2014.

Export to AEC is now available in SOLIDWORKS 2015.  Users often need to provide 3D models to AEC software users that design buildings, structures, waste water treatment plants and more. These users frequently design, develop and manufacture equipment including, light fixtures, elevators, etc. that need to be integrated into other AEC tools.  These new capabilities allow users to easily export simplified models that are properly scaled and rotated for easy import into other AEC software using .sat format (ACIS).

If you want to see more of the 15 Features coming in SOLIDWORKS 2015 blog series, you can check in on the announcement post from August 22, 2014 where we will be updating and adding links to each of these posts as they go live.
