Bring complex textures to life with the new Wrap & Emboss tool, alongside more intuitive section viewing and significantly faster project imports:
- New: Wrap & Emboss tool
- New: Ortho View in Section View
- New: Saved Views preserve section state
- New: Workspace Screenshot button
- New: Advanced import preferences
- Improved: Refreshed Project tool icon
Wrap sketches around cylindrical and conical surfaces
The new Wrap & Emboss tool allows you to add embossed or debossed details to curved geometry. By wrapping sketches around cylindrical and conical surfaces, you can create complex textures, labels, or patterns that maintain accurate proportions across the model's curvature.
Ortho View in Section View
You can now toggle Ortho View while in Section View to automatically display the cross-section and visible edges directly behind it. This mode streamlines internal inspections by automatically hiding sketches, images, and other hidden geometry, providing a cleaner look at your design's internal structure.
Saved Views preserve section state
Saved Views now store your active section view settings. When you save a specific perspective while in Section mode, returning to that view later restores both the exact camera orientation and the section state. This is especially useful for design reviews where you need to jump between specific internal details quickly.
Workspace Screenshot button
A new dedicated Screenshot tool button has been added directly to the workspace. This addition reduces the steps needed to capture your work, making it faster to document design progress or share high-quality visuals without navigating through menus.
Advanced import preferences
New advanced preferences significantly improve how STEP, IGES, CATIA, SolidWorks, and Solid Edge parts are processed.
You can now choose between Speed, Quality, and Custom modes. Speed mode can process large files up to 70% faster and helps successfully open designs that previously failed due to memory limitations, while Custom mode allows you to tune settings specifically for problematic or crashing files.
Refreshed Project tool icon
The Project tool icon has been updated with a refreshed design. This visual change improves clarity within the modeling menu, helping you identify the tool more intuitively during your sketching and modeling sessions.
