  • Reading of all non-default configurations from SOLIDWORKS, in their graphical forms
  • Support of SOLIDWORKS Assembly Constraints and Mates
  • Support of glTF Metadata (extras) in both reader and writer
  • Improved various assembly components from ZW3D files
  • SolidEdge reader now available on ARM platforms

Additional Improvements

  • General improvement on Metadata/Properties and Layers support
  • Continuous consolidation of PMI graphics and semantics
