7. Quick Properties: With the new Quick Properties window, users can dynamically adjust frequently used properties of drawing and design elements.

8. Drawing B-splines : This is now possible using control vertices and node parameterization to create more complex shapes. Sounds good?

9. New Snap Geometric Center: Snap Geometric Center makes it easy to precisely define the center of the geometry, which is crucial in advanced design when selecting drawing points.

10. Editing the tile menu for images: ActCAD 2024 allows you to create and edit tiled menus for images, which makes it much easier to manage graphic assets in your project.

11. Exporting Tables to .csv Files: Now you can export tables to .csv files, as well as create and update them based on data extracted from drawings, eliminating unnecessary formatting.

12. Expanded ActCAD Explorer : The ActCAD Explorer now allows you to manage visual style properties and layout settings even more extensively, as well as to specify whether layers are automatically frozen in the created layouts.

13. New Project Geometry command: The new Project Geometry command makes it easier to precisely position project elements.

14. Show and Hide CV Commands: The Show CV and Hide CV commands allow you to conveniently show and hide control vertices.

15. Layer Isolate and VP Freeze commands: The Layer Isolate and VP Freeze commands allow you to easily manage layers and freeze views in layouts.

16. Rename Block, Change Block, and Copy Multiple commands: New commands make it easier to manage blocks and copy multiple elements at once.

17. Improved Page Settings from Other Drawings : The ability to import page setups from other drawings makes it easy to create projects consistently.

18. Choosing PDF presets: When publishing or exporting to .pdf files, you can now choose PDF presets to suit different needs.

19. Import and Export Facet Modeler Binary (.fmb:) Files The ability to import and export .fmb files opens up new opportunities for collaboration and project sharing.

20. Cross-Section Inspection : Users can now control whether elements on layers can be intersected by sections, which is crucial in advanced engineering projects.

21. Mod Preview : A new feature introduced with IntelliCAd 12.0 allows you to preview modifications using the Offset, Trim, and Extend commands and while editing fills, which helps to avoid errors.

22. Customizing AEC Styles: The new ActCAD 2024 offers customizable AEC styles, which is extremely important in architectural and construction projects.

23. Creating and Managing Roof and Ceiling Symbols: In the latest ActCAD 2024, you can now assign roof and ceiling symbols to walls and references to them, which facilitates the creation of more advanced architectural designs.

24. Assigning Levels to AEC Objects : The new feature allows you to assign levels to architecture-related objects, which improves work on multi-story projects.

25. Extended .ifc import capabilities: ActCAD 2024 offers more options for importing .ifc files, allowing you to transfer information between projects even more accurately and completely.

26. Support for .rvt and .ifc Overlays in Export to .ifc : Now, users can include .rvt and .ifc overlays when exporting to .ifc files, making it easier to collaborate with other design systems.

27. Streamlined Licensing Technology: ActCAD 2024 introduces improvements in the area of licensing technology, which ensures a more stable and trouble-free use of the program.
