Search Rules and Find All References

The Search Rules (available from the command bar of Project Designer) and the Find All References (available by right clicking on a reference in the Rule Builder) functions now allow rules to be modified.

Select the rule from the Search Rules dialog and click Build Rule to launch the Rule Builder.

If the rule contains a reference (for instance a variable or form control), right clicking on the reference and selecting Find All References, will display all instances where that reference is used. Each of these instances can also be modified directly in the Search Rules dialog.

The Search Rules dialog, that displays the rules, now displays the current value of all rules and references found.

SOLIDWORKS Enhancements

Break Lines can now be easily deleted in DriveWorks.
  • The Generation Dialog in the SOLIDWORKS Task Pane can now be refreshed without closing and reopening the dialog.
