Now almost like a birthday present to celebrate 1 Year of Visualize, we have the new improved “Fast Mode” in SOLIDWORKS Visualize 2017 SP2 in March. However for many images we were reaching for “Accurate” mode which while it does what it says on the tin in achieving amazing results it could take a bit longer to churn out those stunning images. If SOLIDWORKS made rendering tools… oh wait we do! When SOLIDWORKS Visualize was brought out just over a year ago, we were amazed by how it took the quality of our photorealistic images to a whole new level with very little effort. This is the last step before collaboration between the two parties can begin in earnest.SOLIDWORKS Visualize is the fastest, most accurate and easiest to use rendering tool in the world. With all the requisite elements installed, both SOLIDWORKS PCB and SOLIDWORKS must now sign into the ECAD-MCAD Project Collaboration Server (or Altium Vault). Adding example designs (managed design projects), to a default Examples repository, created for the server/vault.Creating ecad and mcad users in the Collaboration Server/Altium Vault, to cater for server/vault access (to 'get at' the collaborative projects) by the two sides.The wizard also provides the ability - post installation - to optionally initialize your Collaboration Server/Altium Vault for collaboration purposes.

This executable is included in a zip file of requisite installables, acquired after purchase of SOLIDWORKS PCB, and can be saved anywhere on your hard disk. This installer is accessed by running an executable – SOLIDWORKS PCB - SOLIDWORKS Collaboration. Installation of the collaboration functionality into SOLIDWORKS is performed using the SOLIDWORKS PCB - SOLIDWORKS Collaboration Setup wizard. Main article: Installing the SOLIDWORKS PCB-SOLIDWORKS Collaboration Add-in Installation - SOLIDWORKS PCB-SOLIDWORKS Collaboration Add-in Streamlined installation courtesy of the Altium Vault Setup wizard. Once installed, you can further refine your installation, in terms of available features and functionality.įor every instance of SOLIDWORKS signed into the Collaboration Server, three simultaneous connections to that server are available to users of SOLIDWORKS PCB. This allows you to get installed, and up-and-running in the quickest time possible. The installation itself is streamlined and fast. These locations become especially important when installing multiple instances of SOLIDWORKS PCB.
The PCB Design option provides the base software and core technologies required to perform PCB design. Design Functionality – allowing you to specify which features are installed initially.There are two key elements to installation, definable across the various pages of the installation wizard, allowing you to control what gets installed, and where: Streamlined installation courtesy of the SOLIDWORKS PCB Installer. Each version of the software, starting with SOLIDWORKS PCB 1.0, has its own dedicated installer.
