RELEASE NOTES
ENTERPRISE
EDITIONS
Common Database:
It is possible to have multiple users operate on the same database of designs, global options, machines, tools, and optimization materials
Multiple Roles:
Three license roles are introduced: admin for general-purpose access-all needs, designer for design-specific uses, and CNC for machining-related actions
Data Locks & Edit Messages:
