The 2023 Release ExactFlat For Rhino 3D New Feature Highlights

3D to 2D flattening and pattern development is faster, easier and more accurate: 

• Added multi-threading support to ExactFlat Optimizer to make flattening up to 20x faster.

• Redesigned spring status dialogue to promote visibility of key accuracy measurements and hide less used information to make ExactFlat easier to use.

• Stability improvements across all algorithms in the entire ExactFlat library to make ExactFlat’s industry leading precision even more accurate.

• New improved patterning tools offer more flexible “per-edge” seam allowances and end conditions to make pattern development easier and faster.

• Improved ExactFlat highlight rendering performance saves time.

• Improved custom export profiles make it possible to customize export entities, layer names, and colours in less time with less effort.

• A more robust export profile editor makes it easier to create, save and manage export profiles. This saves time and provides support for a wider range of cutters.

• Expanded cut file support for Rhino .3dm and Adobe .pdf give more flexibility for file types in less time.

There is also:

• An improved EFAbout user interface for easier software management.

• A New single installer that works with both Rhino 6 and Rhino 7.

• Improved support for feature preview licenses allowing concurrent use of production software with release candidate feature preview software.  It is now much easier to evaluate new features.

Significant Improvements in Licensing:

• Automatic license recovery for identical hardware (re-install).

• Automatic license recovery for irrecoverable hardware failure.

• Ability to Auto-Update license when renewing maintenance or upgrading product features.

Upcoming License Improvements requested by users include:

• Integrated license activation as part of the ExactFlat installer.

• Integrated license activation or recovery as part of the ExactFlat for Rhino plug-in.
