Join Gabriel Corbett for an in-depth discussion in this video Component preview, part of SOLIDWORKS 2016 New Features.
- Component Preview is a new feature…that's been added to SOLIDWORKS 2016.…It allows us to easily zoom in on an individual part…inside of an assembly to assist in creating mates.…Go ahead and click on this part here,…and go ahead and click on Component Preview Window.…You can see I have a separate window that opens up here…and anything I select in this face here…it shows up over here.…And I can then, once I've selected a face…I can click on Mate,…and then choose my mating component on the other side,…and notice they slide together.…I can go ahead and click on…the green checkmark to approve that.…And now I still have this component open,…if I needed to add additional mates to it I could,…if you're done go ahead and click on Exit Preview.…
Exit out of the Mate tool.…And now we're back to our original assembly.…If you want to open a different component…go ahead just click on it,…click on the Component Preview Window.…Again, I can spin things around.…Here I can zoom in, zoom out…and it doesn't affect them in the main window.…
