Visual style

Changes have been made to the way the product looks. These can be tailored to specific needs or tastes.

Model background

The old-style blue gradient has been eliminated and replaced with a white background. This can be altered using the color options tools found in the Options dialog. Click (Tools tab > Options panel > Application Options) and select the Background and Colors tab.

Select Solid if you want a single colored background, or Gradient if you prefer a color scale. You can select from the standard color palette, or select your own color.

Additional UI toggles

If you are particularly interested in maximizing the model pane real estate so that you can see the detail of the model more clearly, you can toggle various user interface items on and off from the View tab. Click (View tab > Windows panel > User interface ) and select or deselect items as desired.

In addition to the items that have been available in this toggle menu for many releases, the following new items have been added:

  • A: Ruler
  • B. Rotation Axes
  • Rotation Angle
  • Study Name- the study name can now be shown above the model. This is particularly helpful if you are working with several studies at the same time, to keep track of which study is active in the window.
