The 2D Image Editor has a powerful new Pen tool for creating Bezier curves.

Styles are updated and divided into four groups: stroke, fill, text and complex styles. You can assign a style to all selected objects simultaneously, instead of editing each object separately. Then you can link styles in pairs and then quickly switch between them. For example, between thin and thick lines or custom colors. Automatically create raster images with realistic shading from 3D models, with support for DirectX 11 and ambient occlusion.

These and other interface and performance improvements have been added based on input from RapidAuthor users. Project administration, video recording, update procedures, 3D object operations, and data import also have updates.
