  • Marking: Scribe a line across a face to mark a position for assembly. Angle and single or double style, with defaults and machine export.
  • Drilled post: A single 120 x 120 mm post, 2400 mm long, with bolt holes, chamfered edges, a ground-level marking and a part number.
  • Parts editor: Edit parts in the Parts view: profile, length, end shapes and extra processings, with 2D and 3D drawings and a live validity check.
  • Document a new processing: When the app gains a processing type, the docs build fails until it has a page. Add the page, its group and its export row.
  • Processing index: Every processing in Zaaglijst Studio at a glance: drillings, notches, mortises, tenons, joints and markings. Filter by group and level.
