What's New ?

This month we are featuring Ref_Edit. Do you work with reference files? Wouldn't it be great to be able to easily fix that little problem you noticed, but were in the wrong file to change?

With Ref_Edit make that change quickly and easily! The commands in this tool bar work on any file you have write access to. The V8 version has been recently expanded and enhanced.

Ref_Edit is part of the Standard Download.
