• Working with phantom assembly features, with phantom component files added to the active assembly document, and no phantom objects are created in the database.
• The loading of the assembly diagrams of the models is taken into account: if the assembly drawing contains a reference to the assembly diagram, its file will be automatically loaded to the Active document of the assembly drawing;
• Automatically create PDF drawing files that are linked to the Active Drawing Document by the Original link.
• Added the "Disregard Purchased Status" setting, which allows you to work with structured assembly specifications and correctly define standard products;
• the option of saving objects in the Reference Geometry communication system is implemented if the assembly unit contains components that are not BOM objects;
