SOLIDWORKS is still actively building Detailing mode, so its capabilities grow stronger each year. That means saving in release mode will be a little slower (sometimes a lot slower) but you can quickly edit the drawing in Detailing Mode later. SOLIDWORKS does this by saving extra data to the drawing when you are in release mode. Detailing mode is actually built to replace detached drawings (and maybe even Quick View) in the long term. You can choose to load a single sheet or only a few of the 50 sheets that your monstrosity of a drawing has somehow turned into.ģc: Detailing Mode, available from SOLIDWORKS 2020ĭetailing Mode does not load the underlying part or assembly, just like a detached drawing does. You don’t need to load all sheets! Just hit the Select Sheets button. More info on this window in the SOLIDWORKS Help here.
