Welcome to the new release! Let's not waste any time, and instead jump right in to some new features.


GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS

EDIT MATE CONNECTOR IN DIALOG

You can now move or realign a Mate connector directly from within the Mate (and almost any other) dialog. Previously, this edit would have to occur after creating the feature.

SEARCH WITHIN ACTIVE FOLDER

Document search now defaults to showing results only from the current folder. You can also chose to exclude subfolders when searching.

COPY DOCUMENT TO FOLDER

When making a copy of a workspace, you may now select a specific folder in which to place the copy.

BROWSER TAB SHOWS FOLDER LOCATION

When on the Documents page, your browser tab now correctly shows the name of the folder location you have navigated to. Previously, it displayed "Documents" whether you were on the home page or in a folder. 



This provides more useful information when searching through your browser history as well. 

ACTION ITEMS REFERENCE VERSION OR WORKSPACE

Assigned Action items now clearly indicate which workspace or version they are referencing directly on the Action items page.



CONFIRMATION BEFORE MAKING A DOCUMENT PUBLIC

An additional confirmation prompt has been added before making a document public, when accessed from the right-click menu of the Documents page. Additionally, the Public tab of the Share dialog includes a new, bolder warning. Both changes aim to increase awareness and security around public documents, and prevent this option from accidentally being enabled.

NOTE: These options have no impact on Enterprise licenses, as an Enterprise-owned document cannot be made public.

DRAWING IMPROVEMENTS

CUSTOM WATERMARK TEXT FOR RELEASE MANAGEMENT

You can now customize the text of your Release management watermark, depending on the state. Changes can be made from the Enterprise settings, under Release management

HIDE DATUM TARGET DIMENSIONS

Hide Datum target dimensions in your drawings via the right-click context menu.



ENTERPRISE IMPROVEMENTS

ANALYTICS - OBSOLETION DASHBOARD

A new Obsoletion dashboard has been added. This provides valuable insights about obsoletion activity and where obsoleted revisions are in use in your current designs.




LEARNING CENTER IMPROVEMENTS

COURSE UPDATES - SHEET METAL, SKETCHING

The Simultaneous Sheet Metal and Introduction to Sketching courses in the Learning Center have been completely updated with interface and functionality changes.
