2D GEOMETRIC AND DIMENSIONAL CONSTRAINTS
Dimension and constraint tools are now available to manage the geometric relationships between 2D shapes
COMPLETE SET OF 2D DRAFTING TOOLS
Choose from a number of 2D drafting tools including line, arc, curve, circle, ellipse, and spline tools. Access text, dimensioning tools, modifier and transformation tools for easy editing.
3D SURFACE AND ACIS® SOLID MODELING TOOLS
Quickly model complex 3D objects with advanced design and modification tools. Primitives, complex and advanced surface tools, as well as surface modifiers and transformation tools are included for surface modeling. New ACIS® R26 solid modeling engine allows for the creation of complex 3D objects as well as data crucial for engineers.
LAYER DUPLICATE
A new command to duplicate a layer and all the objects in that layer is now available through Concept Explorer. To access this command, place your cursor over the layer you want to duplicate, right click and select the Duplicate command. If you Duplicate a sub layer, the new duplicated layer is promoted to a first level layer.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TOOLS
Create buildings and homes with professional architectural design tools like 2D/3D self-healing walls, parametric doors and windows, roof, and slab tools. 1,000 customizable, pre-drawn floor plans speed design.
