Detailing and Drawings
Drafting Standards
Foreshortened dimensions are available for all drafting standards. Previously, they were
only available for the ANSI drafting standard.
Link Child Views to Parent by Default
When you create a projected view, the drawing view property Use named configuration
is set to <Link to parent> by default. Previously, the property was set to Default.
This behavior applies only to projected views created in SOLIDWORKS 2020 or later.
Location for Saving a New Drawing
When you save a new drawing, the default folder location in the Save or Save As dialog
box is the folder where the model in the drawing's first view is saved.
You can override this behavior by specifying a default folder in Tools > Options > File
Locations > Show folders for > Default Save Folder.
Performance Improvements in Drawings
When you create a drawing from an open assembly, the creation of the first view may
be faster than in previous releases.
Render Pipeline in Drawings
Drawings and drawing annotations benefit from the graphics architecture introduced in
SOLIDWORKS 2019, which implemented graphics acceleration and image quality scaling
across graphics cards.
This architecture provides a more responsive, real-time display especially for large models.
It takes advantage of modern OpenGL (4.5) and hardware-accelerated rendering to
maintain a high level of detail and frame rate when you pan, zoom, or rotate large models.
These performance improvements scale up with the higher-end graphics cards not fully
supported in previous versions of the SOLIDWORKS software.
Symbols on Sheet Formats
You can include geometric tolerance and surface finish annotations on sheet formats. The
annotations cannot include leaders.
