• Snap setting for the cross-section tool, in the Tool Assistant.
• Callouts can now choose to display metatdata, in the same way as displaying 'Part ID' and 'Part Names'.
• New comparison setting for replacing files - 'Replace with Arbitrary other'.
• Cinema 4D - up to v11.5 now supported.
• Maya 2010 now supported.
• Improved DWF support.

• Control Points on a Thrustline do not work when creating thrustlines for the first time on a clean machine. The work around is to save the file and reload, to get the control points active again.
• Uninstalling Deep View while still having Deep Exploration installed causes .rh files to lose their association with Deep Exploration.
• Continuous Draw has some irrelevant settings.
• Gateway has been removed from Deep Exploration 6.0. It will be replaced by Deep Access Explorer which is due soon.

• Saving object transform in Model Views - Deep Exploration now supports saving the object position in Model Views. Right-click model view and click Store Object positions.
• Beta testers - we recommend uninstalling prior to installing the released version of Deep Exploration. Please also delete user files located in the following:.
• WinXP - C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Right Hemisphere\Deep Exploration60.
• Vista and Windows 7 - C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Right Hemisphere\Deep Exploration60.
• Registry entry - HKEY_Current_User\Software\Right Hemisphere\Deep Exploration60\Layout.
• Select Objects (F3) >Visual Context is a future feature.
• Walk mode is expecting to deal with real scene sizes. Camera height can be set for Walk Mode in File > Preferences > 3D Editor: Set Camera Height in Walk Mode. Walk speed can also be set here.
• Customize Layout, a few hints:
• When the 'Show/Hide' checkbox is ticked for a scene panel, folder or toolbar, it is set to display. For example, when My 3D Models is ticked to Show, 'By File' is set to Manual, and 'Tab' is set to OFF, it will always display for each tab in a layout. It will stay that way unless unticked.
• When 'By File' is set to Automatic, this means that if a file includes the attribute, a Panel, or Folder or Controller will display. An example is when Scene Panel: Animation 'By File' is set to Automatic, and 'By tab' is set to Yes. This means that when a scene has animation, the Animation Panel will automatically display. This is controlled on a tab by tab basis. If Animations is has the Show/Hide checkbox ticked for a tab, it will automatically display.
• Adding a Backplate to a scene is done by left mouse-click, dragging the file into the scene, and selecting 'As Backplate'.

Installation whilst maintaining a version of Deep Exploration 6.0.x on the same machine

DE 6.0 installs into a separate folder by default. In addition, there are separate start menu entries for each. For DE 5.7 users, your product activation codes will be used, so there is no need to re-activate. Thumbnails however, will need to be re-generated as these are stored separate from existing.

Upgrading to Deep Exploration 6.0

As Deep Exploration 6.0 is installed into a separate folder, there is no need to uninstall the previous Deep Exploration build 5.7 and install the latest build.
