• Application Options: The File tab has a new File Naming Defaults section for frame generator. In the File Naming Defaults dialog, click the Add Attribute drop-lists to configure your naming scheme.
• Miter: The option to Select Multiple Frame Members is added to the dialog. Enable the option to miter multiple members at the same time.
