SurePro Solutions Launches SolidWorks 2016

Makati City. Breadcrumbs? 5K resolution? Child dependency? Together, do these topics make any sense at all? Absolutely! If you are a big time fan of 3D computer aided design or 3D CAD, these absolutely make sense. SolidWorks (SW) 2016 the latest iteration of the French company Dassault Systèmes’s 3D CAD software was just launched at The Blue Leaf Filipinas in Aseana City by its authorized re-seller SurePro Solutions.

Breadcrumbs is one of the features added to the SW 2016 and it makes life easier for engineers and designers. Previous versions of SW took designers to a time consuming routine of clicks through the feature manager while searching for features, solid body, part or assembly relevant to a selected face, edge or vertex. With breadcrumbs lodged on the graphics area itself, it is now easier to edit features and sketches, as well as to modify parts and large assemblies. With this new tweak, categorization is also much easier.


Another amazing new feature of SW 2016 is its compatibility with 5K resolution monitors. If you’re having a difficult time digesting what that information mean, try visualizing a 105” UHD LED TV. Now try visualizing doing your CAD design on that LED with all its clarity, crispness and life-like rendition of images you are working on. This is what SW 2016 has done.

Color blind? No problem. Part of the modernized user interface of SolidWorks 2016 is the color scheme adjustment which takes into account visual disability such as color blindness.

Child dependency visualization, something that creates clutter on your feature manager in previous versions can now be hidden in the new in SW 2016. An added feature that also streamlines the design process is the linking of “flag notes” with “balloons”, while rearranging stacked balloons is as easy as click-hold-and-drop mouse movement.

Michael T. Cagan, RME and Joseph Ryan Carbonilla, RME, of SurePro did the
demo on some of SW 2016's new features.

These are just some of the new features presented by engineers Ryan Joseph Carbonilla and Michael T. Cagan of SurePro Solutions in their demo during the launch event. Mostly present were designers, mechanical engineers and project managers from some of the leading manufacturing companies in the Philippines.

It wasn’t just serious stuff too at the event as participants were treated to games and raffle draws with exciting prizes. The top prize—a 32” LED—went to James Villanis of Toshiba Information Equipment (Philippines), Inc. Another highlight of the event saw participants worked together in a story-telling game that should begin with the following lines:

Participants also showed their literary creativity in a story telling game.

Once upon a time…

Everyday…

But one day…

Because of that…

Until finally…

And ever since then…

But the caveat was that they have to tell a story along the lines of the event’s theme of “Make Great Designs Happen” and SolidWorks. The photo here demonstrates that engineers do have literary creative juices in them as well.
