  • More efficient menu structure and file browsing experience
  • Enhanced management of CAD data, including the detection of
    sharp edge curves and fillet tangent curves, that facilitates the definition of nominal geometry
  • New Hemmed Edge comparison points for sheet metal analysis
  • New specialised part-to-CAD comparison algorithm for parts made
    of composite material (honeycomb)
  • Major enhancements to automatic feature curve fitting on
    point cloud datasets
  • New PolyWorks/Talisman™ intelligent remote control that brings
    PolyWorks/Inspector in the palm of your hand while measuring on
    the shop floor
  • Parametric 2D sketching
  • Major enhancements to curves
  • Intelligent curve magnetization engine that allows editing a curve in a network of patches without losing patch topology information
  • New curve mathematical engine that produces smoother curves
  • Intuitive curve reshaping tool based on dragging and interactive fairing
  • Enhanced usability through simplified dialog boxes, less user-defined parameters, and improved terminology and workflows
