SOLIDWORKS 2015 - The What's New You Didn't Hear About (Part 06 - Selective Delete in Assemblies)

SolidWorks

With each version of SOLIDWORKS the development team along with the product definition specialist sorts through the vast number of your enhancement requests. Doing a great to job for the most part to do what we ask of them; make it better, faster and more stable. Several customers asked for a quicker way to remove sub-assemblies and/or components of sub-assemblies. I found this enhancement to be pretty fast and with little intrusion on my design process. Let's take a look at it from SOLIDWORKS 2014 first.

SOLIDWORKS 2014 Removing Sub-Assemblies

1.Right mouse button on the sub-assembly in the WNYDHA-Part06-GIF01

 

2.Select the sub-assembly in the feature manager design tree and hit the "delete" key on the keyboardWNYDHA-Part06-GIF02

 

3.Right mouse button click on any component of the sub-assembly and click "Select Sub-Assembly". Then hit "Delete" on the keyboard.  WNYDHA-Part06-GIF03
