• Solid fillets are smoother
• Fillet a solid face with one selection
• Improved shaded visualisation for highlighting solid faces
• When applying several fillets at a time, the last fillet can be undone and the filleting operations continued
• The new rib filleting feature allows you to replace a face of a solid with a fillet

Surface modelling

• Create a split surface by spreading out laterals radially for some portions of the split line and aligned to principal axes for other portions
• Similarly, when creating extension surfaces, portions of the surface can be specified to extend in different directions
• Control how the section is rotated when creating a surface from two rails

Die wizard

• Complex examples process 2-3 times faster
• When defining the split surface, you can use the new split surface options to specify different directions for the laterals

• New curve fillet creation mode creates a two point Bezier curve between two wireframe objects
• Create multiple oblique curves with one command· Offset works with multiple objects 
• Inherit the tangency from an existing curve when creating Bezier curves
• Append multiple wireframe objects to a curve 

Models

• NEW_MODEL_MASTER template model has been overhauled to make updating and maintaining the model much easier
• Drag and drop files into the PowerSHAPE window to import them
• File Properties dialogue box allows print and save of its contents via the right mouse button
• Better model compression

Other changes

• Resizable Selection Information and File Properties dialogue boxes· 
• Hovering over the Selection Information button displays the number of objects selected·
• Blanked objects are unblanked when a model is opened 
• Cursor positions in free space are automatically rounded onto a fine background grid
•  A warning message is displayed if the user attempts to move or rotate by zero
• Printing takes account of colour schemes
• More than 16 colours available for graphics within PowerSHAPE

• The Cooling wizard undo button allows you to reverse the action of making a through hole
• Create components on different levels using the Moldbase wizard
• The Core/cavity wizard enables the use of customised dimensions
• Ejector pins trim to the cavity plate using Auto Features
• Use the Slide core wizard to create slides for undercut regions that lie in both inserts
• A rough profile is drawn as a visual aid when automatically creating the contact profile using the Slide core wizard
• Use the Slide core wizard to create a run off surface at the top of the core base to prevent it from wearing

PS-Electrode keeps getting better

• Graphics window on the first page makes selection of burn faces even easier· Add alignment notches automatically to the base of the electrode·
• Input an angle for the split surface extension· Lock dimensions when defining the blank 
• Options for job details and works order on set-up sheets
• Options page for your company's preference defaults
• Collision checks when creating extension and clearance surfaces

• Put component definitions into classes· 
• Create components with different dimensions from the same component definition· 
• Use models as component definitions 
• Option to delete unused component definitions whenever you save a model
• Button on the Relationship toolbar to dynamically change the angle or distance relationship
• Easier to add components on a plane using the Inserting axial components command 
• An attachment can be given a name

PS-Draft

• Ctrl-I sets italics on the Dimension toolbar
• Create user defined hatch patterns
• DUCT font can use characters 128 to 256 (for example, accented characters)
• By default, hole schedules only include holes that are normal to the view
• Set options to choose which holes to include in hole schedules
• Depth column in the hole schedules
• Material column in the schedule for assemblies

• The unique fast and simple Emboss* method is now available as a solid feature· 
• New options to fill holes caused by embossing· 
• Use the active workplane to position the triangles when embossing· 
• Create a B-spline surface from a set of B-spline curves 
• Surface curves made from G2 curves stay G2 continuous after editing
• Wrap wireframe objects onto surfaces and solids to create new curves

PS-Render

• Use the active workplane to position labels when label wrapping

* Emboss is subject to a patent application. Patent pending: GB0208088.5 Combining embossed reliefs with conventional solid models.
