More Information: New features in 3D location: Now, you can select locations at end-points of edges, mid-points of edges, or circle centers more comfortably. If a 3D curve is highlighted, right-click it, and then select location from pop-up menu. If you right-click the object which is being transformed, pop-up menu offers you redefinitions of insertion points. If you drag objects, after right-click, a menu is open and you can set dragging increments. A new feature is the drag increment dependent on current zoom (the larger area is displayed, the larger step is used). Also, transformation axes contain new objects – inner small circles. If you left-click them, objects are rotated by mouse movement. Right-click them starts dynamic rotation, directed by a selected point. New features in 2D location: Similarly as in 3D location, you can right-click a highlighted line, circle or curve and then select location at end-points, mid-points or circle centers. Similarly as

Delcam CRISPIN has released the 2014 version of its Engineer Pro software for pattern development and grading in the footwear industry.  The new version includes a number of enhancements that add “intelligence” to the software and so make it more intuitive and faster to use.  For more details, please go to http://lz.delcam-crispin.com One of the key enhancements can be seen when creating a chain from a series of intersecting lines.  Engineer Pro now anticipates the chain that the user wants and highlights it.  Any constrained items, including markers, linked to the chain will react more intelligently during grading and will adjust their positions automatically if the grading operation would make them overlap the boundary of the piece. The single-click boundary command introduced in the 2013 release of Engineer Pro has been enhanced.  Adjoining regions can now be added to the piece with a single click in the neighbouring area.  In addition, if
