WHAT'S NEW SOLIDWORKS
2012 -Parts and Features
 
Feature Freeze

You can freeze features to exclude them from rebuilds of the model. The freeze bar controls the point at which a part's FeatureManager design tree rebuilds. Features above the freeze bar are frozen – you cannot edit them, and they are excluded from rebuilds of the model. Freezing a portion of a model can be useful if you work with complex models with many features. Freezing the features helps to:

>> Reduce rebuild time
>> Prevent unintentional changes to the model

Templates for Split Parts
In the Split and Save Bodies PropertyManagers, you can select an alternate part template to override the default template from Tools > Options > System Options > File Locations. The selected template is applied to all the new part files you create during that Split or Save Bodies operation.

Reference Planes
Reference planes defined from the top plane are no longer rotated 180º from the top plane, and now behave the same as reference planes defined from the front or right planes. This change eliminates unexpected rotation of the model when viewing normal to the reference plane. It also eliminates flipping of copied sketches when you paste them onto the reference plane.
Tips & Tricks
. Align Balloons with Magnetic Lines
You can use magnetic lines to align balloons. You attach balloons to magnetic lines, choose to space the balloons equally or not, and move the lines freely at any angle. The balloons maintain their alignment when the magnetic lines are not visible. You can insert magnetic lines automatically when you use the Auto Balloon command. You can also insert balloons before or after inserting magnetic lines. Click Magnetic Line (Annotation toolbar) or Insert > Annotations > Magnetic Line.
. Automatically Insert Center Marks
You can automatically insert center marks for all holes, fillets, and slots in drawing views. Linear and circular patterns are recognized. In a drawing, click Center Mark (Annotation toolbar) or right-click and click Annotations > Center Mark.
