Gasket, Bolt and Weld appearances have been enhanced to give a more realistic presentation within the model.



Custom Data Creation and Isolation Options
Custom Data fields and values can now be quickly added to the Specification Data Tables allowing Users to Isolate by Custom Data from the Line View Palette.



Pipe Supports in Specification Catalogs
3D Supports including new Tee Supports, are now based in the Specification Catalogs making it easier to  manage pipe supports. Legacy Supports modified and created using older versions of CADWorx Plant Professional can also be imported meaning existing libraries do not need to be recreated.
