Single Click Fill & Hatch
Click in a region of trimmed or untrimmed curves to hatch or fill. Resultant hatch is auto trimmed and remains associative to the neighboring untrimmed curves.
New Verify Tools
Use the new bounding box tool to determine the rectangular bounding volume of an object. Or verify the curvature circle at any location of a curve
