Unfolding of lofted plates
It’s now easier to create lofted plates between construction objects including lines, arcs, and polycurves. The lofted plate tool can be used to easily create complex geometry with straight, single curved and double curved shapes. You can also create unfolded single part drawings of single primitive lofted plates and tangentially continuous polycurves lofted plates. This enables modeling and unfolding of twisted plates, transitional duct work profiles, and other curved plates including bridge related plate work, vastly improving your ability to model complex projects.

Tips and tricks: Hidden neighbor parts on drawings
Sometimes you need a dimension to provide a mark, such as the profile size, for another object or assembly near the drawing you are working on. By using hidden neighbor parts, you can turn on these objects for adding marks and dimensions, or just for checking purposes, without them showing up on the final printed drawing.
