# Welcome to CrownCAD 2026 R2

CrownCAD 2026 R2 incorporates extensive user feedback to fully meet your design requirements. In terms of usability, we are committed to enhancing user experience; in functionality, we continuously add essential commands that help you quickly complete product design and development tasks.

Main Enhancements：

Sketch	Support for directly importing local DWG files into sketches.
	Supports copying sketches to a specified plane.
	Supports concentric constraint between 3D sketch lines and circular elements.
Features	Loft boss/base supports end constraints, with three new constraint types added: direction vector, perpendicular to sketch, and tangent to face.
Sheet Metal	Added the lofted bend command, which can be used to create square-ended ventilation openings and other sheet metal components.
Drawing	Support the creation of centerlines through arc slots and sketch elements; enhance linear and circular centerline annotation scenarios, aligning with slot and sketch element linear and circular annotations.
Drawing	Supports adapting hole annotation creation styles through multiline text position for different drawing standards.
Piping	Split the Interface Points function into Piping Interfaces and Electrical Interfaces, and update the display styles of Piping Interfaces in the viewport.
	Add the Path Axis feature, which can be used to set intermediate positions of path lines in pipelines.
	When creating a pipeline, it supports setting pipeline parameters.
	When drawing a path, add a checkbox option for "End point path vertical".
	Inserting piping component support allows users to insert instances that match the characteristics of piping components from the current project or other projects as fittings.
	Add automatic bend angle, support picking path chain to automatically create bend angle.
	Automatic routing supports picking up the path axis to set the via points of the path line.
	Add flexible hose automatic routing, supporting automatic layout of flexible hose path lines based on starting points and path axes.
BOM	In the BOM tool - materials breakdown form, it is possible to set whether to consolidate pipes.
