R2022x FD01 (FP.2205)

View Mode

A new command, View Mode , lets you modify the current view using the available options. Also, the following commands have been removed from the View section of the action bar:
  • Perspective View
  • Parallel View
  • Hide/Show Reference Axis
  • Hide/Show Lines
  • Hide/Show Points
  • All rendering commands
Benefits: This enhancement simplifies the user interface for modifying the current view, by merging several commands into a single command.
For more information, seeManaging the View Modes

Fly/Walk Navigation

You can now remain in the fly/walk navigation mode and create other features (such as markers, measures, sections).
Benefits: This functionality improves the usability of this command.

Positioning a Section Using Geometries

You can now position precisely a section when creating it or later using the new Position from geometry option in the context toolbar.
Benefits: This functionality lets you precisely define the section position and in turn improves productivity and reduces the risk of misunderstandings created by wrong and less precise positioning.
For more information, see Sectioning Items

R2022x GA

Specifying a Mouse Profile

Three preferences are now available to let you select a mouse profile for manipulating viewpoints in your dashboard app: CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, and 3DEXPERIENCE. To specify this option:
  1. Select Me > Preferences.
  2. From the Mouse Control area, select the required option. By default, 3DEXPERIENCE is selected.
Benefits: You can easily access viewpoints in your dashboard app by specifying the mouse profile option that best fits your needs.

Improved Measuring of Various Elements

The measure functionality is improved in the following ways:
You can now:
  • Create measurements based on the type of the selected geometry, regardless of the selected filters and switch between various alternate measure types.
  • Compute maximum distance between 3D objects.
  • Customize the measure label.
  • The context toolbar for measure features is now improved.
Benefits: This enhancement ensures faster and more intuitive creation of various types of measures.
