FEATURES OF SOLIDWORKS 2019:

NEW 3D TEXTURE:

Convert patterns from an image file into 3D geometry automatically.

IMPROVED EDITING WITH LARGE ASSEMBLY TOOLS:

Large Design Review (LDR) mode now supports a number of editing actions.
Access and edit mates, add and remove components, and can change the configurations.

ENHANCED GRAPHICAL PERFORMANCE

New version takes the advantage of latest graphic card technology.
Manipulate large assemblies without experiencing delays or compromising visual quality.

MODEL BASED DEFINATION (MBD) FOR SHEET METAL PARTS:

MBD outputs now capture sheet metal bend notes, flat patterns, and bend tables.
Assembly level PMI is now available for users

IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY STUDY CONSTRAINTS FOR GENERATIVE DESIGN:

Perform generative part design considering strength, stiffness and now frequency constraints.
Desing optimal geometry to meet product performance goals with more input options.
Leverage mesh modeling tools to prepare generative design for additive manufacturing process.

ENHANCED EDRAINGS OUTPUT FORMATS:

eDrawing viewer now includes measure, markups and comments capability.
Improved performance including support for GPU processing

DIRECT 3D MARKUP TOOLS:

Add markup and notes directly to your 3D model .
Support for pen and touch interfaces for quick  and natural design
.
NEW CHAMFER AND FILLET CREATION OPTIONS:

Create partials chamfers and fillets along a portion of an edge.
Control fillets and chamfer creation with handy graphical controls.

ENHANCED MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCY WITH SOLIDWORKS CAM:

Define multiple manufacturing setups and take advantage of the power of configurations.
More control of feed in and out and hole start and end positions for machining operations.
Manual adjustment of machining operations using “Move” command.

REMOVED SECTION VIEWS IN DRAWINGS:

Quickly create a section view at a slice through a model without needed construction geometry.
Directly adds GD and T and other tolerances information to dimension text.

BOM exports include graphical preview images of part geometry for better communication.
