Support of Meta-Properties from Pro/E Creo and STEP Files

You can now import meta-properties from Pro/E Creo (*.prt, *.asm), and STEP (*.stp, *.step) files.
Meta-properties are user-defined attributes such as part number (P/N), designation, and revision number. They appear as user properties of the string type in the Properties pane.
Benefits: We are offering support for meta-properties from additional file types.
For more information, see Import.

Removal of SVGZ Support

In the Publish page, you can no longer select SVGZ as the output format for vector images. The SVG format is still available.
Tip: If the SVG file is too large, you can convert it into the SVGZ compressed format using a standard file compression tool.
Benefits: We are simplifying the selection of vector image output formats.
