The clone command can now be started from inside the grid by right clicking on a single item.
Within the Clone command itself there is now the support for manually naming the file to save to disk produced as part of the clone.
In the property card if a section is collapsed it is not obvious to see if it contains a mandatory field. The Property card below contains two mandatory fields but the section they are in has been minimised.
Upon trying to close the property card you are now warned by the sections expanding and a red outline around the mandatory field(s) displaying
* Searching type from property card shows filters results
When using the clone command, the next Sovelia ID was not always used and sometimes Sovelia ID’s were skipped before the next ID was used for the clone. This has now been corrected and the next available Sovelia ID will always be used. This will reduce gaps in the Sovelia ID numbering.
In some cases, the Property card was missing when multiple monitors where used. We have improved the support for users with multiple monitors.
New section added at the end of the file for Sovelia 3D Export

By default, the Publish function does not include the <PreAction> of Send BOM <PreAction Id="SoveliaEngineeringSendBOMAction">.
To Send the Bom to Sovelia either, use the Send Bom button in the Sovelia Ribbon or add the <PreAction> Send Bom function into the Configuration for Publish.
Promote still included the code to Send BOM to Sovelia so you can use it as an example code to copy to the Publish section.
To speed up loading of Inventor with the Sovelia CAD Add-in loaded, On open of a model or drawing the property update is now NOT run automatically.
