The Protruding Divide feature is now more automated and simpler to use, the company says. Space Ball can now be used within the program. An option to minimize retracts in Z-Level multi-tool roughing is said to speed roughing. Five-axis drilling has been added to simplify drilling in multiple workplanes on the same part.
