The CET 16.5 Minor Release is all about improving the details that matter in daily design work. With better visual clarity, increased precision, and smoother workflows across CET, this update helps you work faster—and with more confidence. Here are some examples.
More Precision, Less Guesswork
Accuracy is critical, especially early in the design process. This release introduces several updates that help you stay in control as you work:
- Live wall-length measurements now appear while drawing straight walls, making it easier to hit the right dimensions from the start.
- Aligning ceiling lights is now easier, with graphics showing their on-floor position while inserting.
- More precise elevation control in the Replicate tool reduces manual adjustments when refining layouts.
- Corrected calculation behavior ensures more reliable results when drawings turn into pricing and specifications.
Clearer Visuals and More Polished Drawings
Visual quality gets a noticeable lift in CET 16.5 Minor, helping your drawings look cleaner and easier to read:
- A new 2D antialiasing option delivers smoother lines and sharper plans.
- Refinements to dimension and scheme styling improve consistency across drawings.
- Updated tooltips for View Modes and clearer lighting placement indicators make it easier to understand what you’re seeing.
- Improvements to Paper View handling ensure drawings translate better to print and PDF.
The result: more professional-looking output with less fine-tuning.
Faster, Smoother Everyday Workflows
Many of the updates in 16.5 Minor focus on saving time in tasks you perform every day:
- A more responsive Catalogue Browser filter helps you find products faster—especially when building Picklists.
- Improved tag management offers safer targeting, clearer sorting, easier multi-delete, and fewer accidental tag applications.
- An experimental feature re-inserts dimensions when copying, speeding up work with duplicated layouts.
- Enhancements across Sketch & Build and Architectural Tools reduce unnecessary clicks and interruptions.
These may seem like small changes—but they add up quickly over the course of a project.
What This Means for Commercial Interiors...
Delivers clearer visuals, more reliable data, and smoother workflows to help Commercial Interiors teams design, price, and present with greater confidence and consistency.
- More realistic, flexible column placement. Columns now support independent width and
depth for more precise layouts. - Live wall measurements while drawing. More precise layouts with fewer adjustments later.
- Improved catalogue filtering. Faster, more reliable product selection in complex projects.
Material Handling...
Improves standards-based measurements, calculation logic, and layout automation to increase confidence in system outputs and downstream engineering coordination.
- Additional pallet and unit-load standards. More accurate warehouse modeling.
- Continuous insert for racking bays. Faster, more predictable layout creation.
- Improved calculation logic (floor markings, tagging). Greater trust in quantities and outputs.
and Kitchen & bath
Enhances visual clarity, layout stability, and workflow consistency to help Kitchen & Bath teams produce cleaner, more reliable designs and documentation.
- Improved cabinet behavior near walls. More predictable placement and fewer manual fixes.
- More stable plinth and cabinet interactions. Reduces layout errors and rework.
- Improved 2D sink outlines and visuals. Clearer drawings for review and presentation.
