All 3D annotations are placed in a folder in the model browser. All 3D annotations can be hidden by Hide All Annotations in the folder context menu.

3D Weld Symbols

3D weld symbols are now available as one of the 3D annotation types. Create and edit weld and subweld symbols in a part or assembly model. Then, retrieve the associative symbols in drawings. 3D weld symbols are included in exports to 3D PDF, DWF, and Shared Views.

All Over Modifier

The All Over modifier is now available for feature control annotations.

Flatness and Profile of a Surface

These tolerance options now have default values when applied to the model.

Annotation Scale

In this release, 1:5 scale is added to the annotation scale drop down per DIN EN ISO 55455

Datum Target Browser Node

The Datum Target browser node now displays the target size when using the extended name option.
