Improved Wall Hole Editing Improved Wall Hole Editing
The wall hole component we introduced to symbols in version 2009 was a great success. With version 2010, we've made editing even easier. When editing the 3D wall hole component, the symbol instance being edited is shown in black, with the surrounding context shown in gray. Component geometry is drawn in red. Now it's easy to create the editing geometry!
