What ELSE is New in SolidWorks 2012

It’s actually called What’s REALLY New in SolidWorks 2012, but SolidWorks Marketing made me change the title. They said it sounded too negative. I’ve been using the original title for 5 years now, and it’s not meant to detract from the actual “What’s New”, it’s just a fun way to show some stuff you might not otherwise see. But..you know how marketing is…
