1. UI / UX Enhancements
-
Visual Indicators for States, Priorities & Progress:
Color-coded icons now clearly display order states, priorities, and completion progress directly in lists and production planning views. -
Highlighted Search Results:
Cells containing search terms are now highlighted, improving readability when filtering large datasets. -
Multi-word Search Operators:
Use symbols like;,&,*, and quotes to combine, refine, or wildcard search terms in any table. -
Inspector Rework:
The Inspector now features clickable objects, hierarchical parent–child views, and a dedicated section for deleted objects, simplifying navigation and restoration.
2. Improved Material and Attribute Management
-
Material Name Display:
Material names can now appear in all references, not just material codes. -
Custom Attribute Editor Overhaul:
A unified table view with icons, mass deletion, conflict validation, and context-based filtering streamlines attribute configuration. -
New Date-Type Attribute:
Add fields with built-in date pickers and custom formats for better data organization.
3. Production and Nesting Enhancements
-
Nesting Job Efficiency Display:
Efficiency metrics now show assigned vs. required material areas, improving cut planning accuracy. -
Reformulated Nesting Priority:
Job priority is now numeric and intuitive — higher numbers mean higher priority (starting from 0). -

Separate “Production Rank” and “Supplier Rank” tables offer clearer visibility of original and trimmed materials. -

-
New Actions:
-
Delete Objects: Mark multiple objects for deletion by ID and type.
