It\u2019s been a few years coming for SOLIDWORKS Visualize<\/a> to get some major new enhancements and 2022 delivered! Particularly, animations in SOLIDWORKS Visualize 2022 got a massive overhaul. New organization methods, keyframes, cameras, and motion studies all see benefits in the new release.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Multiple Animations<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Let\u2019s first look at one of my favorite enhancements that may seem small but is huge! Historically a SOLIDWORKS Visualize project could only have one animation, but not anymore! In SOLIDWORKS Visualize 2022 you can have multiple animations within the same project!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\r\n
\"solidworks

Multiple Animations<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is huge. One SOLIDWORKS Visualize project, as many animations as you want, and you can switch between them. No more creating multiple projects for multiple animations. Users will have fewer files to manage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Animation List<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The next big change is the new animation list. Here you\u2019ll see a whole new suite of tools to help manage animations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\r\n
\"solidworks

New Animation List for Managing Animations<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\r\n
\"solidworks

Animation List Details<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Here’s what each section does:
Add<\/strong> – Create groups of animations or camera sequences.
Change View<\/strong> – Switches between a large list and a small list of animations on the timeline.
Search<\/strong> – Allows you to search for and filter your list of animated objects by text.
Change Sort Mode<\/strong> – Allows you to filter what Animated Object Types are shown.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Animated Object Types? What\u2019s that you ask? It\u2019s another handy enhancement to the animation timeline and if you\u2019re like me, you may have created animations in the past with parts, groups, appearances, and cameras only to find a long list of \u2018Names\u2019 that may or may not (usually not) make any sense for what was what. Animated Object Types is great to help clear this up. One simple icon and you can see what that \u2018name\u2019 you animated is!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\r\n

Animation Keyframes<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

SOLIDWORKS Visualize 2022 gets a few nice enhancements for managing keyframes. These are nice little enhancements, but not huge in my book. One is the ability to suppress and unsupress keys along the timeline. This can certainly be handy in some workflows where we\u2019d historically delete the key and then use \u2018Undo\u2019 to bring it back later. The \u2018Suppress\u2019 and \u2018Unsupress\u2019 is a much more robust method.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\r\n

Also, for clean uniformity within animation transitions, the Keyframe Properties dialog includes numerical values for Tension and Motion Ease. Instead of changing a slider to be roughly a value, you have much more control of the amount.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\r\n
\"solidworks

And lastly, if you want to really stick to uniformity with animations, you can now copy the keyframe properties from one key and paste them on others!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

SOLIDWORKS Visualize 2022<\/a> delivered in a big way with regards to the enhancements for Animations. With the ability to leverage multiple animations along with the additional organizational and standardization tools and techniques for animations. SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional users who create animations should be rushing to upgrade to 2022.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
