Among the news

A major innovation is the ability to split open windows in IRONCAD to different screens but keep them in the same process. This way, you can now make changes to the 3D model that are then updated in the 2D drawing on the next screen.

A new keyboard shortcut, [Ctrl] [F] on a highlighted extrusion, makes it easy to quickly switch extrusion direction from the output plane.

If you select more than one object, you should be able to choose whether they should be grouped or inserted as individual objects when you drag them into a catalog with the right mouse button.

For those working with parametric models, it will now be easier to access the values that directly control the model via a new symbol that appears directly when you select the model.

A very interesting novelty, initially introduced only in the ICD drawing, but which will also be implemented in the sketch in the 3D scene a little later, is a "2D TriBall"! It allows you to easily move, rotate and copy 2D objects in the drawing.

The window of IronCAD's GPT4-based AI Chatbot will be able to be maximized, to more easily see more of its content on the screen.
