Asynchronous UDL Output
Earlier the UDL Derived Output was generated sequentially during the save
process and now they generated asynchronously on both the cloud and on-premises
platforms for SOLIDWORKS CAD origin.
On the cloud only: A cloud service is used for generating UDL's
asynchronously.On premises only: The Derived Format Converter is used for
generating UDL's asynchronously.
Benefits: This improves the save performance.
Derived Output Formats for SOLIDWORKS
You can now generate STEP and XCADPivot derived outputs for
SLDPRT.
You can generate the conversion rules from the Admin Console, which provides
the support to convert the STEP or XCADPivot derived formats based on conversion
parameters (for STEP only) and events such as OnDemand and OnPromote. The STEP and
XCADPivot formats are not required the installation of SOLIDWORKS CAD. They can be
generated with only the Derived Format Converter installation.
Benefits: This enables that the STEP AP242 geometry format is shared with the
suppliers.

Converting Polyhedral Data to ExactGeometry
3DEXPERIENCE CATIA design data, which have the polyhedral feature is not
converted to the ExactGeometry linkable derived output.
When you convert 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA design data, which has the polyhedral
feature data to the ExactGeometry linkable derived output asynchronously, the error
message related to the polyhedral geometry is added in the DWCConverterReport.err file.
Benefits: This prevents generating the empty ExactGeometry linkable derived output
CATPart file.

Assigning a Unified Format
A unified format is assigned for all the Derived Output Conversion Rules from
the Derived Format Management tab in the Parameterization Console.
The unified format cannot be edited. By default, it is computed and assigned
when a Derived Output Conversion Rule is created.
Benefits: This enables that the unified format is shared across the different xCAD
definitions irrespective of CADOrigin and source type.
Administration: Configuring Derived Format Management
When configuring Derived Format Management, the Create Conversion
Rule dialog box is now updated for ease of use.
The Platform Administrator can now create the Derived Format Conversion Rules for On Save Event for the
SOLIDWORKS CAD origin using the Administrator Console.
Benefits: This enables that the details are not required to manage from the client
side.
