Newly developed functionalities that improve your experience when working with the program.
| ID | Module | Functionality | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| EVP-15010 | Library | New Templates | Five new ECMA parametric templates have been added to the Library of Packaging Templates. |
| EVP-15004 | General UI | Options-to-Preferences Redesign | The earlier Options property sheet, where you manage the program's global settings has been redesigned. It has incorporated various settings menus that used to sit elsewhere in the program, among them for materials, material types, surface appearance, rolled materials, parameter template, drafting colors. The redesign offers greater ease in setting global properties at one place. |
| EVP-15129 | UI: Layout | Rolled Materials Catalog Moved to Preferences | The Rolled Materials Catalog section, which used to sit on the Format menu, has been moved to the redesigned Preferences property sheet (accessible from Tools | Preferences). |
| EVP-15127 | UI: Materials | Materials Moved to Preferences | The Materials section, which used to sit on the Format menu, has been moved to the redesigned Preferences section (accessible from Tools | Preferences). |
| EVP-15131 | UI: Drafting | Use Backgrounds Retired | The earlier Use Backgrounds command, which used to sit on the Format menu, has been retired and its functionality broken down to two new functionalities: one for the surface appearances and one for material-carrying drawings. These are now available in the redesigned Drafting Colors panel on the Preferences property sheet (accessible from Tools | Preferences). |
| EVP-15136 | Drafting: Types Catalog | Types Catalog Moved to Preferences | The Types Catalog, which used to sit on the Format menu, has been moved to its own section on the Preferences property sheet (accessible from Tools | Preferences). |
| EVP-15137 | UI: Surface Appearances & Processes | Appearances Moved to Preferences | The Surface Appearances Catalog, which used to sit on the Format menu, has been moved to its own section on the Preferences property sheet (accessible from Tools | Preferences). |
| EVP-15166 | UI: Preferences | Search Icons | In the Preferences property sheet, a set of icons now indicates the relevance of search results. The icons appear each time you do a search in the property sheet. |
| EVP-15059 | General UI | General UI: Zoom-Related Commands Grouped | All commands related to zooming in the program's UI are now grouped in a special Zoom submenu on the View menu. They appear also as a contextual menu when you right-click in the graphical area. |
| EVP-14987 | Drafting | Alternative Measure Units | At dimension lines, the units of measurement for distances can now feature alternative units — for example, inches alongside millimeters. |
| EVP-14926 | Drafting | Improved 1up management in Master Canvas | Two new functionalities now give you greater control over 1ups in the Master Canvas drawings: Disperse 1ups, which adds space between 1ups that are too close to one another, and Line Up 1ups, which puts all the 1ups in a straight horizontal line along the Ox. |
| EVP-15206 | 3D | Semi-selected check boxes | In 3D, special semi-selected check boxes appear when you start editing multiple distance-related dimension lines which carry different properties. Specifically, the check boxes indicate whether the selected dimension lines have different colors or differing settings for the display of alternative usints and unit symbols. |
| EVP-15138 | Print Marks | Print Marks | Square-shaped fiducials have been added to both the Standard and Template fiducial types. |
| EVP-15032 | Cost Estimator | Made-Changes Warning | When you have made changes to a cost model and for some reason press ESC, the program displays a warning that the changes you have made will be lost if you proceed. This warning prevents accidental data loss. |
| EVP-15099 | AI Integration: Marks | Marks as Fill | When print marks are sent to Illustrator, areas carrying fills are properly visualized as fills. |
| EVP-15048 | AI Integration: Step & Repeat | Removal of Duplicated Objects | When creating a layout in Adobe Illustrator, you can use a new functionality that merges duplicated objects into a single object. |
| EVP-15052 | AI Integration: Step & Repeat | Creating Step & Repeat | A new dialog manages the settings for creating a Step & Repeat layout. In the dialog, you set the front and rear sides, manage the options for the bleed and for the merging of duplicated objects. |
| EVP-15258 | Automation | Web-Based Generation of Bleed | Bleed can be generated via EngView's web interface. |
| EVP-15021 | macOS | Wine 6 | The program's setup for installing under the macOS now uses Wine 6. |
