Configura has released the Material Handling Library in CET 15.5 Major, which provides a way for users to access and integrate a wider range of manufacturer content to enhance their design process. The Material Handling Library serves as a central hub for industry-specific solutions, including standalone products like robotics and forklifts, and offers manufacturers a pathway to contribute their catalogues to the Configura ecosystem.
Available to all users in the Configura Marketplace, the Material Handling Library allows users to enrich their designs with an increased variety of components, making users’ work more detailed and comprehensive.
In addition to the Material Handling Library in the CET 15.5 Major update, the new user interface (UI) will be enabled by default, though users still have the option to toggle back to the classic interface during the transition period. This update delivers several enhancements to the UI, including a streamlined component tab bar allowing users to collapse or expand the entire component tab in one go. Additional updates to the right-click options in the toolbar allow for quicker access to essential tools, like Keyboard Shortcuts and the Work Mode Editor.
The Material Explorer has been optimized to be more responsive and able to load materials faster. Materials are now sorted under three tabs–CET Materials, Manufacturer Materials, and My Materials–for quick and easy access to different types of materials on the fly.
