From Context to Drafting: The Background Document Revolution
Radically transform how you manage your design environment.
The new Classic mode reinvents the use of background documents by treating them as smart inclusions. Drive their attributes, apply property-based filters, and manage the visibility of each sub-assembly independently. For the first time, project your entire design environment directly into your 2D drawings with no intermediate steps required.
- Total context control: Modify or update background documents effortlessly using an intelligent replacement wizard.
- Unmatched integration: Eliminate workflow disruptions by leveraging background data all the way to the final drafting.
- Mastery of complex projects: Handle high-density assemblies with ease through individual component masking and advanced filtering.
Your design environment—now seamlessly integrated from concept to layout.
Structure Your Automation with the New Sub-Works
Take your productivity to a new dimension.
The Work document now supports sub-works, enbling you to intelligently nest processes and build large-scale automation scenarios. Drive a master work document capable of orchestrating dedicated sub-processes—such as sheet metal processing, data exports, and BOMs—for comprehensive control over your production workflows.
- Modular architecture: Segment complex automations into manageable modules for improved clarity and scalability.
- Simplified maintenance: Update or adjust individual sub-processes quickly without affecting the overall workflow.
- Maximum reusability: Capitalize on your best practices by deploying processes effortlessly across multiple projects.
Stop managing isolated tasks. Orchestrate a truly strategic production launch.
New Extruded Bar Kits: Every Connection, No Compromise
Free your assemblies from geometric constraints.
Extruded bar kits are no longer restricted to intersections: connect spaced beams, join handrails end-to-end, or fix supports to guardrail rails with total simplicity. These scenarios are now supported natively—no workarounds, no compromises.
- Total design freedom: Create all types of connections, including non-intersecting geometries, without technical limitations.
- Increased productivity: Accelerate the modeling of complex metal structures (staircases, railings, frames) through intelligent automation.
- Assembly reliability: Standardize your connections and eliminate manual adjustments, the primary source of downstream errors.
Focus on engineering your structures. Your assemblies finally adapt to your real-world requirements.
