• Using Boolean operations, you can now access and change the Keep bodies option during the Edit-Definition workflow.

• Improved out-of-date detection for external references to geometry in cases where:

◦ The referenced geometry is no longer present because its container body was consumed.

◦ The referenced geometry was moved to a different body or quilt.

• Improved body handling when a feature-owned body, for example, a body created by split-body, import or data sharing features, is deleted from the model. For example, Body Copy, Move, and Mirror features now fail due to missing body reference when the feature that creates the reference body of these features is deleted.

• Reference pattern generates improved results according to your expectations when references of multiple bodies are involved in the reference pattern operation.

• Curve feature is enhanced. You can now select a body, in addition to the previously available object types quilt and surface, when checking the Place curve on surface option.

• Improved material reporting:

◦ The mass properties report uses the parameter PTC_REPORTED_MATERIAL in all places where material is reported. This applies to parts and bodies. In case the part represents a multi-material part, a new configuration option ptc_reported_material_mp_report allows you to control whether the material value is displayed as a comma-separated list of all materials, as a fixed string multi-material, or as an empty string.

◦ Mass properties of designated bodies can now be included in the designation.

• Multibody Data Exchange improvements — The option Import multiple bodies into one part is available when opening a model using File > Open or defining data exchange profiles under File > Options > Data Exchange > Setup Import and Open Profiles. Associative Topology Bus (ATB) update control capabilities are also available in combination with this option.
