One of the most requested features for years has been a non-destructive model comparison tool. In V5-6R2024, the Model Compare command has been completely revamped. : The Sketcher Workbench now allows users to
Reflecting the industry-wide move toward automation, V5-6R2025 continues to develop visual scripting capabilities. A notable new operator in this release is "Circle Packing From Mesh," which can generate optimized circles or spheres from a triangular mesh. This feature, part of the xGenerative Design tools, automates complex and repetitive geometric tasks, allowing designers to explore innovative shapes and structures that would be impractical to model manually.
