BUILD

  • A part placed on another's side keeps the end or the middle it snapped
    to, with Offset and From always shown, and stays there when the other
    part's length changes.
  • A click on a profile's end continues it straight, or near an edge turns
    a corner towards that edge; corners are aligned flush and mitred on the
    bisector by default. The view shows the result before the click.
  • Snaps are at least a dozen pixels wide on the screen.

Parts

  • A floating picker shows the library's parts as pictures, by group,
    system and search, with starred parts and groups first, Favourites, and
    the parts the design already uses. Insert from Library and BUILD's part
    fields use it.

Window

  • Preferences › Display › Layout chooses the Docked or the Floating
    layout on every platform; in the Floating layout the Browser can show
    each row on a box of its own, the view visible between them.
  • While a component is active, everything outside it is drawn faded and
    picks take the active component first; both can be turned off.

Modelling

  • New designs allow everything by default: sketches on other components'
    faces, components inside Part1. The Part and Assembly presets stay
    available.
  • More fillet ends and corners are built, and blends cut by a narrow face
    they roll over.
  • Windows: a crash inside the geometry kernel is reported as the kernel's
    error.

Import

  • .ipt: sketch texts, with the file's own glyph outlines while the font is
    missing.
  • .rvt: large projects import much faster.
