2. In assembly and parts, the profile line can be displayed after cutting the model:

New window opens the document

When creating a new Part, Assembly, Engineering Drawing, add the option "Open in new Window" in the bottom left corner of the dialog box shown below.

• Unchecked (default) : After creating a document, open a new document in the current window, consistent with the original version.

• Checked: After creating the document, create a new TAB to open the new document with the original TAB contents unchanged.

Full Screen button

When a user logs into CC, add a "Full screen, Exit Full Screen" button in the top right corner of personal Settings.

• When it is currently full screen, the "Exit Full Screen" button is displayed; Otherwise, the "Full screen" button is displayed.

• Clicking the button will have the same effect as pressing "F11," even if the browser is full screen or exits full screen.

Add/subtract button/scroll button

After the value input box, the value add or subtract button is displayed, and the value can be increased or decreased by scrolling the mouse wheel.

1. After the value input box, the value add or subtract button is displayed, and the value can be increased or decreased by scrolling the mouse wheel.

2. The mouse rolls the wheel inside the value input box to increase/decrease the value. Scroll up to increase, and scroll down to decrease.

3. The law of value increase and decrease

• Let the value increase or decrease variable be x;

• Distance class value, x is 10;

• Angle class value, x is 1;

• Percentage value, x is 10%;

• Quantity class value, x is 1;

• Each time a button is clicked/the mouse wheel is rolled, the value increases or decreases by x.

4. Each time a button is clicked/the mouse wheel is rolled, the value increases or decreases by x.

5. Clicking the arrow or rolling the wheel will cause the value to exceed the limit, and the operation will have no effect.

• For example: stretch the current depth of the boss is 5, click under the arrow or scroll down the mouse wheel back to make the value -5, then this operation is invalid;

• Note that clicking on the arrow or scrolling up the mouse wheel can take effect normally;

6. If the content of the input box is variable or equation, no button is displayed, and the value cannot be adjusted through the mouse wheel.

Structural member grouping enhancement

Picking parallel paths or connected paths is supported when selecting path groups.

• When picking up parallel paths, the paths in the same group are required to be parallel to each other;

• When picking up connected paths, the paths in the same group are required to be connected in turn;

• Parallel and connected paths cannot exist in a group at the same time;

  

Customize the structure component outline

Users can draw their own sketches and save them as weldment structure Outlines for use when generating weldment structure members.

1. Custom contours

1）Users can draw 2D sketches on any plane and save them as structure Outlines.

2）Sketch requirements:

• The sketch must contain a closed sketch area composed of non-reference lines, but there can be no more than one sketch area;

Sketch style	Single closed area	Single closed area with internal outline	Multiple closed area	Unclosed area
Legend
Supported	Yes	Yes	No	No

• The sketch may contain auxiliary guides, drawing points;

• The origin of the sketch will default as the penetration point in the component that coincides with the path;

• The sketch size can be defined by variables or constants.

3） Contour material function

• Set the document material for the sketched part document. After the sketch is saved as the weldment structure outline, the document material is used as the profile material;

  

• When using the custom outline in the structural component, select the outline with the outline material can check the "use the outline material" option, and set the outline material as the material of the corresponding component.

  

2. Save the outline

1）Click the arrow to the right of the Save button and select "Save as Outline" to bring up the "Save as Outline" dialog box to save the structure outline.

• Before saving, the sketch to be saved should be selected in the feature panel;

• If there is only one sketch in the document, there is no need to select, and the system automatically saves the only sketch;

2）Support ordinary saving and batch saving two saving methods

• Ordinary save: save the outline of a single size, the size of the outline sketch is the size of the sketch in the current part;
• Batch save: upload a table that conforms to the rules and generate multiple Outlines of different sizes in batches. The size of each outline is controlled by the variables in the table and the corresponding size variable in the sketch;
• Save the table rules in batches:

①The first line of the table, starting from the second row each row represents a specification;

②The first action table, starting from the second row each row represents a specification;

③The head of the first list is "size", and the content is the "size" name of each outline. Starting from the second column, the name of the table head is consistent with the name of the variable controlled by the column data, and the content is the value of the corresponding variable in the outline of each size. To control several variables, add several columns of data. Special characters that are not supported as names are not allowed in this column;

④Blank cells are not allowed in the table head, contour size name, variable name, variable value of each contour size;

⑤The variable name must correspond to the name of the variable created in the sketch in order to take effect correctly. The variables that exist in the table but are not in the sketch are ignored and not used. The variables that exist in the sketch but are not in the table are taken as the values of the variables in the sketch.

3）Save custom outline examples:

• Create A new blank part document and set variables A=60,B=30,T=5

  

• Draw the following sketch on the front view datum, annotated using the variables in step 1

  

• Store separately: Select standard GB, type L-shaped steel, size 60×30×5. After saving: Add 1 outline to standard GB, type L-shaped steel, size 60 x 30 x 5, size as in the sketch.

  

Note: The standard and type can be selected as existing, or you can click the "+" sign in the upper right corner to create it. The created data will be automatically recorded in the library and can be directly called later.

• Batch saving: Select standard GB, type L-shaped steel, upload the table as shown below.

Size	A	B	T
60×30×5	60	30	5
70×40×5	70	40	5
80×50×5	80	50	5

• After saving: Standard [GB], type [L-shaped steel] there are 3 Outlines, the size is "60×30×5,70×40×5,80×50×5", the specific size of each sketch is controlled by the value of each size corresponding to A, B and T in the table.

3. Manage the outline

1）Select "Weldment Profile" in System Settings - System Options - Template management to manage.

2）Select the outline to be edited and click the edit command to enter the sketch editing state as shown in the following figure, you can edit the sketch corresponding to the size.

Note: Editing the outline needs to be carried out in the project management state. When the system is in any open document state, editing the outline will prompt "Please exit the current document first".

3）Click Save after modification to save the current modification, you can not exit the sketch by exit sketch button.

4）Click the Back button to exit the workspace and return to the home page. If the changes are not saved before returning, a confirmation dialog box "Save structure outline" will pop up:
