CET 16.5 Major: A Smoother, Smarter Design Experience
We’re thrilled to share that CET 16.5 Major has arrived for all editions, bringing cleaner workflows, faster performance, and smarter design interactions to make your daily work easier.
Work Smarter, Not Harder
You’ll notice the difference right away: smoother drawing interactions, more intuitive selections, and faster access to the tools you need. Hover highlights make it easier to see what’s selectable, hidden objects in selections now stay visible as transparent shapes, and quick-clear buttons help you keep your CAD Settings searches tidy.

Faster, More Reliable Performance
We’ve made CET faster and more reliable from the ground up. DWG import/export runs more smoothly with better control, and new safeguards prevent interruptions and lost crash reports. We’ve also fixed long-standing issues — from restart hiccups to catalogue updates and 3D shape creation — for a more stable, dependable experience.
Smarter Data and Exports
We’ve made Calculations even more powerful with a new Lead Time column that puts valuable insights right where you need them.

Excel exports also come through cleaner and more informative, complete with formatted data and preview images — so sharing and analyzing your designs is easier than ever.
Tailored for Every Edition
No matter your focus — Commercial Interiors, Material Handling, or Kitchen & Bath — you’ll find thoughtful updates designed for you. From improved product data handling in Commercial Interiors to new structure-building tools in Material Handling and smarter placement logic in Kitchen & Bath, each edition benefits from targeted enhancements.
A Step Forward for Every Designer
CET 16.5 Major may look familiar — and that’s intentional. We’ve focused on refining what already works, tightening up the small things that make every day smoother, faster, and more predictable.
It’s another step forward in making CET an even more reliable partner in your design journey.
