  New Features

• Numerical Workspace files (*.wrk) Import and Export the Numerical Innovations workspace files used in popular EDA tools such as FAB3000, PCB Preflight and more.
• New documentation:  Converting PCB designs to 3D STEP
• 3D Output Purpose: Printed Circuit Board Generates an optimized bare board PCB with optional components.
• 3D Output Purpose: Enclosure Fit Quickly generates a PCB with components used for enclosure fit determination.
• 3D STEP Entities output: WireFrame (Fast) Generates a 3D wireframe that quickly loads into any 3D CAD tool. Fast importing and visualization of a complete 3D model.
• 3D STEP Entities output: Polygon Surface (Fast) Generates flat surfaces that quickly loads into any 3D CAD tool. Easily extrude into Solid B-Reps in most 3D CAD tools.
• 3D STEP Entities output: Outlines (Fastest) Generates 2D wires that quickly loads into any 3D CAD tool. Fastest import into other 3D CAD tools.
• 3D STEP Entities output: Mesh Faster import and display speed in most 3D CAD tools (compared to Solid B-Reps).
• 3D STEP Entities output: Solid B-Reps Generates professional 3D Boundary Representations. Solid B-Reps are most commonly used in 3D CAD tools.  B-Reps typically import slowly into other 3D CAD tools.

 Improved Features

• 3D STEP Export Export times are 2X to 10X faster!
• CAD Viewer overall resolution has been improved.

 Fixed Features

• NC Drill Import - Fixed Non-orthogonal Rotated slots.
• Update Export Layers table after editing layer properties (in Viewer).
• Plus 5 other minor bug fixes and GUI improvements.
