DesignCAD now offers smart menus like those found in Microsoft Office®. Initially presented with a shortened list of available menu commands to help reduce screen clutter, the menu can be expanded to show all items by clicking on the double arrows at the bottom of the menu.

Associative dimensions will automatically update as you change the size of the object they are associated with. For example, if a radial dimension is associated with a circle, when you change the radius of the circle using the Info Box, the associated radial dimension is automatically updated to match the new radius.
