Flat Pattern, rebuilt: - Every pattern is now correct in inches and feet, not just millimetres. This was a full audit of the tool, shape by shape - Fixed a crash when a square-to-round had a negative round tilt - Segmented bends, pyramids and cones corrected, and the drawings redrawn Gauge, wherever a thickness is asked for: - Type or tap a gauge into any thickness box and the app works out the decimal for you - The gauge chart now carries an inch column Steel Beam now speaks American: - Loads in kips or pounds, results in kip-ft, kips and ksi - ASTM grades: A992, A36, A572 Gr 50, A500 Gr B and Gr C - Section sizes list Ix in in4, so a W16x26 reads 301 - Buckling warning: an unrestrained open beam is now flagged whatever the section, not just British ones The app knows where you are: - It reads your device at setup and starts on your own units, grades and spelling - Press brake and materials carry the grades you actually order, including 5052-H32, 6061-T6, A992 and A500 - US welding wire and tungsten sizes - PDFs print on Letter in the US, A4 elsewhere Fixed: - The Enlarge button no longer sits on top of the first dimension on a drawing - Dragging measurements, balloons and notes in Photo Markup is smoother One new thing worth telling you about: - The app now counts, anonymously, which tools get opened, so we can see what is worth building next. It never records your jobs, sizes, prices, photos or anything you type. You can switch it off in Settings under Usage data, and the privacy policy explains exactly what is sent
