    cutting/manufacturing of components.
    * Improved Style Manager for Architectural Objects. Better control over architectural designs,
    ability to make quick changes to common architectural object types.
    * Improved Schedule Table. Now includes support for walls and slabs.
    * New Surveyor Linear Dimension. Enhanced 2D drafting capabilities.
    * Improved Terrain Tool. Ability to create terrain objects from selected points.


Mechanical CAD advancements include:

    * Improved Assembling of 3D Objects. Enhanced 3D design with additional alignment tools —tangent and axis.
    * New Automatic Workplane by Face. Much easier now to make edits to 3D objects.
    * New ACIS® v17 Solid Modeling Engine.


Interoperability and Content enhancements include:

    * ASAT, OBJ and Collada (DAE) File Format Support. Enhanced compatibility for solid
    modeling and for Virtual Reality, including Google™ Earth (NASD: GOOG).
    * Improved 3DS file Import and Export. Better support for mechanical and artistic design
    applications.


‘Green’ Building Content details include:

    * Photovoltaic (solar) roofing panels
    * Structurally Integrated Panels (SIPs)
