Similar to what I did last Friday I will cover a couple of areas that are changing in SolidWorks 2010 as opposed to just a single function.
Both display states and custom properties have some improved functionality with the display states changes a little bigger for most users.
Display States
SolidWorks 2010 now offers that ability to specify display states in part files the same way you could for assemblies in the past. Instead of me trying to explain it all to you, I have attached a screenshot of the chart that was included in the “What’s New” document. I think this does a pretty good job of showing what is and what is not available.
Custom Properties
In a smaller update but still relevant, SolidWorks 2010 now allows you to view the properties of lightweight components in an assembly. Note that you can not save changes to the properties when in lightweight but when you change them it will prompt you to resolve the component and then you will be able to save them.
