• “Automatically updating layouts” function is now working! This long-awaited fix to the automatically updating views’ function will help you save time and ensure you don’t have to keep switching between Archicad and ArchiFrame 
• A new tool for Metal Connectors has been added to ArchiFrame. 
• BoardPanel Views improvements have been made. These marking texts can also be freely composed, and they can be controlled in the XML file.
• Machinings can now be copy-pasted from one Archicad project to another. 
• Randek Export is now supported! We have added CNC support for the Randek framing station (using CDT version 3.1).
• Planks can now explode their surrounding insulation into multiple pieces. This happens automatically as planks are moved/added or deleted in an element. Insulation settings can be controlled in the “core” layer settings to control how big a plank needs to be to explode the insulation. 
• New_lifting_support_blocks: you can now automatically create support blocks with the surrounding drillings.
• There are new settings to Saw Cuts. The layer thickness will determine the depth of the cut when marking it zero. Positive values for moving the saw will move it outwards. A negative value will move it inwards. Adding millings to inner corners will create neat corners. 
• Angled Double Top & Bottom Double: the top- and bottom function also handles angled parts.  
• New built-in layouts! We’ve created three new layout templates that come with the ArchiFrame package. With all of these new layout templates you have the choice to turn projections on or off.
