UH OH!!! When changing the configuration of a patterend part makes everything disappear. Configuring each component is hidden but not too hard to find See screen shot. I inserted the same model part driven by each configuration. It is now more like all the other programs where everything has it’s own name and own file. Maybe there is a way to go back to the old style I was use to but I have not found it. It use to be all the parts, cam pans, and drawings were kept in a single file name. ZW has changed how the parts and assemblies are kept. For this I just made a few “expressions” and configurations to generate a neck loft like I would if I were starting from scratch for a new guitar neck. Today I decided to try some of the new configuration manager features. The number one reason for me to keep ZW is the surfacing. I don't have time to look in to those today.Īll the usual tools are in the design environment. There seems to be a lot of new background organization tools and design tree feature management.
It shows it will direct open NX, CATIA, SolidEdge, ProE, and Inventor but I don't have those so if anyone wants me to test that out attach a file. This was especially valuable when I used ZW for toolpaths. So if you go back in to Solidworks and change the part the ZW file checks back to the file. And as in previous versions ZW still maintains links to imported geometry. Some didn't but those files contained imported surfaces. The ribbon layout is the same as the previous versions. Using two screens works well and allowed me to put the manager box on the other screen leaving the entire workspace clear. I put the resolution down to 1080 which takes care of all the problems but a bummer that we can't take advantage of the 4K screen.
I have had problems with scaling with Solidworks and MasterCAM so this is not unique to ZW. After upgrading my computer with a new 4X screen I was anticipating scaling issues. I do not work for, with, or sell ZW and have received any compensation in any way.įirst look. I just upgraded my Version 2015 version to the latest 2022 version and will post my thoughts and some projects to generate some interest. So seeing how there is little activity I thought i would start one some people may enjoy. I have been using it for nearly 20 years when it was VX and I started with Version 7. ZW3D seems to have given up on the US market.
