What's New in Creo Elements/Direct Modeling 18.0

• Visual Studio 2010 and .NET version 4.0 are now required. The new user interface introduced with version 18.0 is supported without any API changes. The methods defined in CoCreate.Osdm.IFrame are internally mapped to appropriated calls in the new UI. This maps menus to ribbon groups and buttons to ribbon buttons.

• The .Net API has gone public.
• Microsoft Windows 7 support added.
• Both 32-bit and 64-bit add-ins should now be compiled with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, ServicePack 1.
• The license module ADVANCED_DOTNET_API has been removed. All functions previously protected by this module are now freely usable.

What's New in CoCreate Modeling 2008

• Lisp interoperability layer: connect-object, disconnect-object, set-property-ref
• Lisp interoperability layer: Support for variant types VT_INT and VT_UINT
• Support for .NET 2.0 SP1, .NET 3.0 and .NET 3.5
