Release Notes

NEW Design

We’ve updated icons and simplified the Main Menu bar by removing ones used less frequently. This simple new design will help to maximize your productivity.

High-res Display Support

Both the visibility and performance issues related to high-res displays are now fully supported!

Note Anchor Connection Points

In version 6.9 or earlier, you could attach the Note anchor to the mid-point of lines only. Now you can attach notes anywhere along the line. Attaching closer to the target model will make clearer and cleaner diagrams.
