You can simulate a cutting tool passing through a solid body to demonstrate function, for example. Modeling has also been made more realistic.
The Appearances Property Manager optimizes mapping orientation, size and style. It reflects a design better than standard software due to dynamic use of textures, shadows, materials. SolidWorks also has RealView to allow real time modeling in a nearly realistic environment. It is semitransparent to act as a visual yet unobtrusive heads-up display when the screen is split it appears in each one in order to give the operator specific pane control. The Command Manager is a horizontal tool bar with part, drawing and assembly tabs placed in the center of the graphics area so that you can access related commands on a customizable toolbar. This is very convenient for those who find that immovable toolbars stifle their creativity. There is a semi-transparent toolbar of options when you need it, yet it fades away as the mouse moves away from it and becomes solid when you move the mouse back to select an option. The light graphical interface maximizes the graphics area and gives quick access to commands and options. Its powerful toolsets and virtual prototyping generates manufacture-ready drawings in record time with accuracy and appealing realism. SolidWorks 3D CAD is designed to let ideas be transformed quickly into products. Cad computer-aided-design 3d-modeling dxf prototyping
