- [Instructor] Each year SolidWorks improves the software
and SolidWorks 2022 it's no exception.
A couple of the features that I really think are
pretty handy are this one right here, is if we click on
the S command on your keyboard,
you get this little popup window, that is your Shortcut Bar.
And this has been the SolidWorks for a long time now.
But now notice you've got the ability to search
for all commands right in the bottom of
that little dialogue box.
It's always been right up here at the top of the screen.
Well not always, but it's been there for quite a while.
But now again it's just going to save you a little bit of time.
You don't have to go up to the top of the screen
wherever you're at.
That shortcut bar is context sensitive, so if I'm over here
I hit S it just pops up right at my keyboard,
type in whatever command I'm looking for and boom
you're right into that feature.
So that's pretty handy and saves you a little bit of time.
The other one that I thought is pretty neat
is if you click on the Section View
and I do use Section View all the time, right?
So this is a great feature for me.
And you've got by default
you can use different planes right?
Or you can define a different plane if you wanted to.
But now if you look at this little icon at the very end here
which is select edge or a axis,
click on that.
Now I can choose something like
the outside of this circle here
and maybe like a point,
and now you can section your model
just using a axis and a point.
So a couple really neat things there
that just saves you a little bit of time,
it makes working with SolidWorks just a little bit easier.
A couple of the other things they've improved
is like the message bar
it made it look a little bit more fancy.
Dismissed messages You can find those now
you have a few of other things like that.
Just make things a little bit neater and easier
to work with inside the software.
And generally SolidWorks has just been improved as for speed
and just the interaction with how the user interface
and the software interacts.
So that's pretty much the highlights
for SolidWorks 2022 new features for the user interface.
