R2022x FD01 (FP.2205)

Comparing 2D Data

You can now compare two drawing or diagram layout sheets and save the result in a slide for future analysis.

Benefits: This enhancement lets you store the result of graphical comparison between two drawing or diagram layout sheets and create markers on it for future analysis.

Editing App-specific Preferences

The following new preferences are added in the Preferences dialog box:

The new Keep selected features at capture display check box under Annotation sets, lets you keep the selected technological features, selected in the capture application.
The new Automatically create the first slide option under Markup, lets you create the first slide under the markup automatically, at the time of markup creation.
A new Slide area is introduced.
A new System 3D Architecture check box, added under Attributes, displays the pathway features in a dedicated attributes table.

For more information, see Editing App Specific Preferences

Reviewing Pathway Features

You can now review system 3D architecture features (pathway features).

These features are presented in a dedicated System 3D Architecture attributes table.

Benefits: This functionality lets you load the pathway features, select them, and display the specific text information.

For more information, see 3D Modeling | Mechanical Systems | 3D Annotation Insight for Dashboard | Browsing Attributes

Reviewing 3D Tolerancing & Annotation Data

You can now review 3D Tolerancing & Annotation data with following improvements:

You can now create a slide pointing to all the selected annotation features from the attributes table.
Slide titles and the content in the text and validation markers can be now set to the feature name that is pointed by the slide or the marker. This is possible only if the slide or the marker is pointing to a single feature.

Benefits: These enhancements simplify the review process for 3D Tolerancing & Annotation data.

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

Reviewing Annotation Sets Created in xDefine

You can now display and review annotation sets defined in xDefine.

Benefits: This functionality lets you review annotations data created in X-apps.

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:

Select Me > Preferences.
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.

For more information, see Mouse Controls

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.

Comparing Objects

You can now compare two products and save the result in a slide for future analysis.

Benefits: This enhancement lets you store the result of comparison and create markers on it for future analysis.

For more information, see Comparing 3D Objects

Editing Graphic Properties

A new Graphic Properties panel provides a better user interface for editing graphic properties of all objects with editable graphic properties.

Benefits: This functionality provides an ordered and easy way to customize the graphical properties of one or several objects.

For more information, see Customizing Graphical Properties

Reviewing Requirements

You can now display a requirement or a requirement specification and review them.

Benefits: This enhancement lets you visualize and review the requirements. You can also exchange the annotated requirements with other users.

For more information, see Working with Requirements

3D Marker Responsive Display

A new command, 3D Marker Responsive Display

, is now available in the View section of the action bar.

It hides 3D markers when zooming out, and displays them again when zooming in. To preserve the display of some 3D markers, you can select them before zooming out.

Benefits: When zooming out, this new command de-clutters the interface by hiding 3D markers.
