Based on industry beta reports and Dassault’s release notes: Only the changed bytes are uploaded

The most common complaint in V5 R30/R31 was the 5-second lag when saving large assemblies to ENOVIA. In R33, Dassault has implemented . Only the changed bytes are uploaded. For a 500MB assembly where you changed one bolt, the save time drops from 15 seconds to 1.5 seconds. Dassault has implemented .

The Snap constraint (Assembly Design workbench) has been revamped. R33 introduces – a translucent preview of where the component will land before you click. This dramatically reduces the trial-and-error of aligning complex bolt patterns.
