- Trimming Options – quick cut with confidence using the handy Trim and PowerTrim tools to precisely edit hatches and solid, single-color or multicolor-gradient fills
- Auto-Completion for Commands – take advantage of a streamlined workflow with the new Auto-Completion function for command and variable names
