- Vector Warp:
- This hugely powerful and highly requested addition allows you to apply a non-destructive warp over any vector artwork or text. Choose between a fully customisable mesh, or use presets including arcs, perspective, fisheye and twists. Editing a warp gives a super-fast live preview, even on complex illustrations, and gives a true vector end result.

- Add and subtract shapes and segments in a much easier, more interactive way. Quickly create complex shapes by simply dragging between segments to combine or holding a modifier to subtract.

- Slice any shape, curve or text into component parts faster than ever. A stabiliser provides even greater precision and scissor functionality allows you to click on any node or segment of a curve and split it.
- Measure Tool and Area Tool:
- Easily measure line lengths, segments, distances and areas of any objects to scale. The Measure Tool allows you to measure the distance between two points/objects, while the Area Tool allows you to determine the area, perimeter and any segment length of a closed shape.
- DWG/DXF Import:
- Import and edit AutoCAD and DXF files quickly and accurately, maintaining the layer structure and scale of the original file.
- With functions like Multi Layer Import, Colour Override and Auto-scale, import quality is second to none.

- A new view mode shows the makeup of your work, which is particularly useful for selecting a specific curve or object within a complex artwork.
