NEW AND FREE: TRIANGLE CALCULATOR • Right angle or any triangle. Type what you know and the rest fills in as you type, drawn to scale. When two triangles fit, both are offered. • Also works out the slope, area and perimeter. • Pro: a cut list for a brace or a mitered frame, with each piece's long point and saw setting. Plan the cuts sends them to Stock Cutting. NEW AND FREE: SQUARE CHECK • Type both diagonals and the frame leans the way it is out, with arrows on the corners to push. It turns green when it is square. • Add a height for a box frame: every face diagonal and the one through the box. • Mark a square corner: the biggest 3-4-5 that fits, in whole inches. FLAT PATTERN (PRO) • Pipe to Pipe: a new Notch existing tube template, sized to wrap around the outside of the tube. • Box, trough, sleeve and rectangular elbow: the distance to each bend line. Cones: chords for a tape. FIXES AND SMALLER CHANGES • Welding Calculator (Pro): mild steel MIG opens on ER70S-6, and gas flow reads in CFH. • Press Brake (Pro): tonnage reads in US tons, and Send to quote is under More. • Stock Cutting (Pro): drops in inches read to the 1/16 (100.75 in, not 100.7928 in). • Stair Stringer (Pro): the 3D rise, run and pitch labels no longer sit on each other, and the drawing says nosing projection. • Labels shrink to fit instead of being cut off, and more of the app is translated.
