We made over 50 improvements, many of them related to automatic dimensions.<\/p>\n<h3>Better automatic dimensions<\/h3>\n<p>As you may know, Drew can <a href=\"https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/knowledge-base\/automatic-dimensions\/\">add outer dimensions<\/a> to a new drawing, or to <a href=\"https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/knowledge-base\/add-sheet-for-every-weldment-body\/\">body sheets<\/a>. We can add:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Three outer dimensions<\/li>\n<li>A thickness dimension for sheet metal bodies<\/li>\n<li>Angle dimensions for weldments<\/li>\n<li>Bend-to-bend dimensions for flat pattern views<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this update, we have improved three of these. We made them more robust because any software labeled as <em>smart <\/em>or <em>auto<\/em>\u00a0quickly becomes dumb when one condition is slightly off. Remember AutoBalloon?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7796\" src=\"https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/064-05-solidworks-automatic-weldment-angle-dimensions.png\" alt=\"Solidworks automatic weldment angle dimensions\" width=\"1114\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/064-05-solidworks-automatic-weldment-angle-dimensions.png 1114w, https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/064-05-solidworks-automatic-weldment-angle-dimensions-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/064-05-solidworks-automatic-weldment-angle-dimensions-1024x454.png 1024w, https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/064-05-solidworks-automatic-weldment-angle-dimensions-768x341.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1114px) 100vw, 1114px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Better automatic angle dimensions<\/h4>\n<p>First off, we now ignore angles smaller than 1 degree and angles larger than 89 degrees to avoid adding angle dimensions in weird places.<\/p>\n<p>We also ignore very short lines now, and we fixed a bug that made the software think a point was on a line while it wasn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<h4>Better automatic outer dimensions for curves<\/h4>\n<p>Adding outer dimensions to arcs is hard. As a user, it&#8217;s easy to see when you should change the min\/max setting for a dimension. You can just try a few options. It&#8217;s harder for computers.<\/p>\n<p>With this update, we have improved our algorithm so it can figure out when to use the minimum or maximum setting for each side of the dimension.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10682\" src=\"https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/089-01-solidworks-drawing-automatic-dimension-min-max-arcs.png\" alt=\"solidworks drawing automatic dimension min max arcs\" width=\"871\" height=\"627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/089-01-solidworks-drawing-automatic-dimension-min-max-arcs.png 871w, https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/089-01-solidworks-drawing-automatic-dimension-min-max-arcs-300x216.png 300w, https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/089-01-solidworks-drawing-automatic-dimension-min-max-arcs-768x553.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 871px) 100vw, 871px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Avoid adding a thickness dimension twice<\/h4>\n<p>By default, we add three outer dimensions to a body, plus a thickness dimension when the body is sheet metal. We even look for the best view to add this dimension to.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6710\" src=\"https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/057-05-automatic-sheet-metal-thickness-dimension.png\" alt=\"Automatic sheet metal thickness dimension\" width=\"631\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/057-05-automatic-sheet-metal-thickness-dimension.png 631w, https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/057-05-automatic-sheet-metal-thickness-dimension-300x223.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But when the body has no bends, one of the outer dimensions is the same as the thickness. We already had a method to avoid adding the same dimension twice, but we have now made this method smarter and more robust.<\/p>\n<h4>Smarter shape recognizing<\/h4>\n<p>Drew can recognize a dozen or so basic shapes and add dimensions accordingly. Here, we add an outer diameter and a thickness when we find a pipe:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6122\" src=\"https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/052-02-Add-view-dimensions.gif\" alt=\"Add view dimensions\" width=\"1116\" height=\"564\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With this update, we improved our algorithm for detecting shapes so it better recognizes a pipe with a cutout.<\/p>\n<h3>Progress bar to work around SOLIDWORKS being unresponsive<\/h3>\n<p>Drew is slowly becoming a batch tool. We started as an add-in to create one drawing at a time, but we have since added <a href=\"https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/knowledge-base\/drew-batch-import-models-solidworks\">batch importing STEP files<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/knowledge-base\/drew-batch-create-solidworks-drawings\/\">batch creating drawings<\/a>. All to help companies that make a lot of drawings.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9042\" src=\"https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Drew-batch-import-for-SOLIDWORKS.png\" alt=\"Drew batch import for SOLIDWORKS\" width=\"407\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Drew-batch-import-for-SOLIDWORKS.png 407w, https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Drew-batch-import-for-SOLIDWORKS-236x300.png 236w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 407px) 100vw, 407px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In our continuous push to make our software more <em>intuitive<\/em>, we wanted to add a progress bar for these batch jobs to keep you informed. But as you are probably aware, SOLIDWORKS can easily become unresponsive during long-running tasks.<\/p>\n<p>So even if we could add a progress bar, it would hardly ever update because SOLIDWORKS is busy adding sheets or creating drawings. So we made our own, separate progress bar application that runs outside SOLIDWORKS. It feels like overkill, but it works.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10685\" src=\"https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Drew-progress-bar.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"498\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From now on, you can see how many sheets (or drawings) we will be creating and you can even cancel those long-running jobs \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<h3>Lock the sheet scale<\/h3>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/knowledge-base\/what-is-autofit\/\">AutoFit algorithm<\/a> is pretty good at fitting all views, tables, notes and blocks onto the sheet, while working around the title block. But sometimes, you just want a bit more control.<\/p>\n<p>So we added a button to lock the sheet scale. Lock the scale and AutoFit will no longer try to zoom in or zoom out to make all views fit onto the sheet. If we can fit everything, we&#8217;ll do so. If not, we&#8217;ll show you a helpful message.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10689\" src=\"https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/089-02-solidworks-drawing-lock-scale.png\" alt=\"solidworks drawing lock scale\" width=\"405\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/089-02-solidworks-drawing-lock-scale.png 405w, https:\/\/cadbooster.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/089-02-solidworks-drawing-lock-scale-300x164.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Batch import + batch create drawings: save and close<\/h3>\n<p>If you want to import lots of files and\/or create drawings for them, the batch tools in Drew will save your hours every week.<\/p>\n<h4>Batch import STEP \/ IGES models into SOLIDWORKS<\/h4>\n<p>Our batch import tool lets you select a folder, after which you can see:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Which files can be imported into SOLIDWORKS<\/li>\n<li>Which files are already imported<\/li>\n<li>Which models need a drawing<\/li>\n<li>Which models already have a drawing<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You can import one file at a time or create one drawing at a time. But you can also run this tool with up to ten models at once.<\/p>\n<p>In this update, we grouped the settings so they are easier to use.
