Lasso Selection

The addition of the lasso select option is beneficial to every user of Solid Edge. It doesn’t matter what environment or functions of Solid Edge you are using, the new lasso select will make your workflow more efficient. The lasso select is faster and more precise when selecting specific objects from your graphic window. Scenarios that required selecting objects one-by-one are now only a couple clicks.

Auto-Dimension and Arrange Dimension

All of the PMI changes that were made in 2024 were wonderful. However, my personal favorites are the changes to Auto-Dimension and Arrange Dimensions. With the changes to these two commands much of the tedium involved in dimensioning models, getting all of the PMI right and making sure it is readable is done for me. This allows me to spend more time on the actual design of the model.

Design Configurator: Loops and Sub-Configure

Since the rename, Siemens has wanted to highlight the collaboration features that Teamcenter Share can provide to any user of the application. So the development team is planning to implement even more collaboration that promotes interaction inside of Teamcenter Share. Since this product is fully cloud based no installation is required, making it very simple to implement into your company’s daily use.
