Machine Design Features
	New Sheet Metal Screws We've added 2D and 3D sheet metal for self-tapping screw objects

	New Lag Screws & Carriage Bolt Objects We've also added 2D and 3D lag screw objects, and we wouldn't be complete without adding 2D and 3D carriage bolts, or round head, round head square neck bolts View Illustration

	New Simple Beam Properties You can now access the properties of standard structural shapes when performing a simple beam analysis, including the new 2D and 3D z-section object. View Illustration

	Improved Simple Beam Calculator We've replaced the abbreviated field titles of the Simple Beam Calculator with more descriptive terms. And you'll see an option that lets you populate the beam properties fields with standard structural shape information.

	Improved Shaft Tool We've added pipe threads to the Shaft tool.
