3D ACIS Modeler
Custom Feature Detection (Beta): Model simplification often requires manual and repetitive tasks by end-users. This capability allows end-users to define a custom feature and automatically detect other instances of it in the model.
Panel Ray Fire: Instead of firing individual rays, your application can use this new interface to define an array of rays in a structured rectangular pattern, which significantly boosts performance.
Skinning Enhancements: Optimized algorithms reduce twists and self-intersections to deliver cleaner, more accurate output surfaces.
3D InterOp
Creo Reader Improvements
Cosmetic Sketch Translation: Convert text from cosmetic sketches into wireframe bodies to support engraving workflows.
Table Patterns: Table patterns are a flexible way to specify the locations of features for machining processes such as drilling, milling, cutting, or punching of holes. This release now supports the extraction of table patterns.
Sketch Support for Inventor: Import sketch data as wire bodies from Inventor 2023 and later.
STEP AP242 Support: Writing imported semantic PMI data to STEP AP242 is now supported. Authoring PMI data is expected to be available in time for the next release.
Wire support in glTF Writer: This functionality lets customers convert CAD files with PMI to glTF for web viewing applications.
Updated CAD Format Version Support:
IFC 4.3.2.0
NX 2412
Parasolid 37.0
Revit 2025
Solid Edge 2025
Data Prep – 3D InterOp Add-On
Hidden Body Removal: For parts, a new optional behavior allows hidden bodies to be identified and marked-up without being removed. Hidden body removal for assemblies is now available in a limited form for demonstration purposes. Customers may expect further improvements to hidden body removal soon as Data Prep continues to be a prime focus for Spatial.
CGM Modeler
Generate parallel curves on a body (Beta): This release introduces a new operator to create parallel curves on a body's surface, separated by a specified geodesic distance. This feature is especially beneficial in manufacturing workflows requiring precise spacing between adjacent toolpaths.
C# interface: This update implements several memory management improvements.
CSM-CVM
CVM mesh quality improvements: Mesh regularity has been improved in adaptive workflows.
CDS
Support for soft constraints: Ability to convert between geometric constraint and soft constraint.

A First-Time Buyer Was Shocked When Their Escrow Shot Up. Turns Out, A Fixed Rate Doesn't Protect You From Tax And Insurance Hikes
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. When a Reddit user and their husband bought a home in 2021, they felt confident with their $1,250 monthly mortgage payment. It was a fixed-rate loan, and they had budgeted carefully. But that confidence quickly turned to confusion when their payment jumped to $1,600. At first, the couple thought their private mortgage insurance had increased. 'We've been in contact with our lender and they said the only way to get off the PMI is to get a home appraisal above $331K,' the person wrote in the r/FirstTimeHomeBuyer subreddit recently. So, her husband paid $500 for an appraisal that did meet the target value. But the lender said it was invalid because the appraiser wasn't on their approved list. They were told they'd need to pay $650 for another appraisal through the lender's channels. Don't Miss: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — Peter Thiel turned $1,700 into $5 billion—now accredited investors are eyeing this software company with similar breakout potential. Learn how you can Redditors were quick to point out what was really going on. 'Your PMI does not go up. Only your escrow for insurance and taxes can go up,' one top commenter said. Another added, 'Interagency appraisal guidelines prohibit financial institutions from using appraisals ordered directly by the borrower.' The original poster later confirmed what many had suspected: 'I asked our mortgage lender to send our last few escrow reports and it was in fact our hazard insurance causing the increase, not our PMI like we originally thought.' The takeaway was this: even with a fixed interest rate, escrow payments can shift drastically because of tax reassessments and insurance hikes. 'Be prepared for your escrow—property taxes and insurance—to go up even if you got a 'fixed rate' mortgage,' the OP warned. Trending: , which provides access to a pool of short-term loans backed by residential real estate with just a $100 minimum. Many commenters shared similar stories. One person said their mortgage payment rose by $800 due to an insurance lapse and property tax increase. Others explained how taxes often spike after a property changes hands, since previous owners may have had exemptions or lower assessments. 'My homeowners insurance went from $1,400 to $2,800 over a three-year span,' one person said. 'I shopped and found insurance with the same coverage for $1,300 again, only to be told they wouldn't cover the house due to them feeling the roof was old. I was forced to spend $12,000 for a new roof in 30 days.'The good news is that there are options. Homeowners can shop around for better insurance rates, dispute property tax assessments, and ask lenders for a broker price opinion instead of a full appraisal to remove PMI. 'I requested the PMI to be removed and was given two options,' one person explained. 'I went with the BPO and it was only $140. Ten days later, my PMI was removed.' Others suggested reviewing escrow statements annually and proactively paying shortages to avoid ballooning payments. 'If you pay the $1200 shortfall, you will owe $100 more a month. If you don't pay it off all at once, you will owe $200 more a month because you're paying the shortfall plus the extra $100 monthly,' one commenter warned. As for the original poster, she ended the thread with a lesson for others: 'As much as some people like to act like home buying and everything involved is intuitive and common sense, it's really not. So I hope you all can learn from our boo boo.' Read Next: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: .
