..and some other enhancements you've requested
• The new Arrange tab consolidates all your tools for object ordering,
flipping, cropping, combining, and joining. Export Optimizer now
shows all export settings. Create and scale objects from their centres.
The Knife Tool has been "sharpened up" with different cutting types
(square, zig-zag, wave, and more) and preset cookie cutter shapes
(ellipses, rectangles, stars, and more). Easily apply Material Thickness
and a Feather Edge directly via the Effects tab. Brushes now include
photo-based stitches, laces, zippers, and spray effects. Now manipulate
transparent bitmap outlines instead of the bitmap’s bounding box.
