  • Duplicate now supports multiple copies in one run: hold down the Option key and click
    to make a copy without closing the command.

  • Rotate by Angle now provides the option to rotate the selected objects around the
    center of the selection or around the center of each object.
  • The command Window > Default Window Size now resets position and size of the
    palettes as well as the main window.
Fixes and Improvements
  • Styles: the Modify Style command now updates the specific properties of the style
    when its type is changed from 'Generic' to 'Type-specific.'
  • Deleting a style used in the project and replacing it with another no longer freezes the
    application.

    document.

  • Edit Symbol: existing instances of the modified symbol now properly update their
    selection bounds.
  • Loading a document only adds 'document' layers.
  • Pasted objects no longer add unused layers.
  • Activation of the software could fail in some cases.
  • Ungroup All did not set the "Document Modified" flag.
