Dashboard and storage optimization updates: • New: Now you can turn storage optimization on or off in Settings for each device, controlling whether inactive projects are automatically removed from your device after 30 days while remaining stored in the cloud. • Improved: The Conflict Resolution dialog now shows who last edited the design. • Improved: Now you can open the Share dialog directly from a project’s context menu in the Dashboard by right-clicking or secondary clicking the project. • Improved: When switching teams in the team switcher, the subscription type is now shown next to each team name. • Fixed: Opening a project link in your browser and selecting “Open in Shapr3D” no longer shows an access error when another team is active. Shapr3D now switches to the correct team automatically if the project is shared with you.

• New: Now you can access Project and Review Link sharing from the Export modal for easy access while exporting. • Improved: The Offset Edge tool now creates offset constraints to keep new offsets linked to their original geometry for predictable edits. You can also use variables and expressions with offset constraints to build parametric sketches that update automatically. • Improved: The Offset Edge tool now uses Single and Chain types. The previous Loop type is now Chain, which supports closed loops, and connected edges and sketches for more flexible offsets. • Improved: Scrolling through Design History is smoother, helping you find and edit previous steps more easily.
