Ironcad 2016 review
The new “Edit Distance From” setting on the TriBall Center and Translation right-click menu reduces the number of clicks to position an object offset from a particular location. Using the TriBall, you have many capabilities to position object to desired locations with easy. Pick the points you want copy/links located at and your done! Simply activate the command on a right-click at the center of the TriBall, and select the command. Now using the TriBall, you can copy/link to select points. These objects reduce the overall design time by reducing repetitive tasks found today.Ĭreating copies and links has just gotten easier. For example: a Belt or a Plate may be a common object that can be easily created but now you have access to a standard shape that can be dynamically pushed and pulled to fit your needs. Productivity Enhancing DesignĪ new catalog with various standard shapes has been added to assist in creating common objects. Please review the new features below for a more comprehensive list of enhancements in the 2016 release. Targeted tools are available to aid in typical fabrication tasks such as Flanges, Steels, Pipes, and much more. Many improvements in sheet metal have been added to extend the capabilities in creation and leveraging existing design data to convert into sheet metal. The 2016 release will also improve design tasks related to sheet metal design and fabrication.

#IRONCAD 2016 REVIEW MAC OS#
If you’re currently using SOLIDWORKS and considering a move to Apple hardware, or if you’re currently an Apple user and are considering SOLIDWORKS, we suggest contacting your local reseller ( UK and Ireland) to discuss the pros and cons of using SOLIDWORKS on mac OS before making any final decisions.
DraftSight is also available for macOS as a beta version.
#IRONCAD 2016 REVIEW PROFESSIONAL#
This includes eDrawings Viewer for macOS, as well as eDrawings and eDrawings Professional for iOS.
SOLIDWORKS do develop several other applications that are available for macOS and iOS. Watch the video above for a guide to this, alternatively, visit the original Solid Solutions article here. There are other considerations such as graphics performance and the applications you are using SOLIDWORKS for.
#IRONCAD 2016 REVIEW INSTALL#
SOLIDWORKS cannot run directly on macOS, so first you will need to install Windows on your Mac using an application such as Boot Camp or Parallels. We therefore would NOT recommend this setup above a Windows based professional workstation.Īlthough SOLIDWORKS will run on OS X there are some major considerations to be aware of. However, the limit of this support is that although it will install, it may not run well as Macs rarely have supported graphics cards. We know quite a few users running SOLIDWORKS successfully on a Mac, and SOLIDWORKS recently updated their system requirements to include virtualisation such as parallels.
