The new ribbon icon layout
One of the first features you'll notice is the revamped ribbon icon layout. This change isn't just cosmetic; it's a strategic overhaul aimed at simplifying navigation among various T4I commands. The new Compact layout is now the default for all T4I users, offering a sleek and efficient interface. We've also retained the Classic layout for those who appreciate familiarity and consistency in their workflow.
In this new layout, frequently used T4I commands are easily accessible, with additional options hidden within expanded panels or grouped in a drop-down menu. This organization ensures that your workspace remains clutter-free while still providing all necessary tools at your fingertips.

Seamlessly switch between layouts
Switching between these layouts is a breeze. Simply click the "Layout" command and choose between Compact or Classic. This flexibility means you can tailor the interface to suit your personal preferences or specific project needs.
If you're someone who loves customization, the new release offers an experimental "InventorControlled" mode. By activating this setting in the "Advanced settings" command, your icon layout changes will persist across Inventor sessions. This feature allows you to personalize your workspace even further, ensuring your tailored setup remains intact each time you open Inventor.
Compact layout vs. classic layout
The Compact layout focuses on streamlining your interface by prioritizing the most commonly used commands, while still allowing access to others via dropdowns and expanded panels. This approach helps you maintain a clean workspace without sacrificing functionality.

Meanwhile, the Classic layout retains the familiar arrangement of icons but incorporates improvements for better usability. Notably, the "Be.Smart T4I" panel has been adjusted to place essential commands, like "Edit settings," prominently on the left. This layout also provides a dedicated panel for the "Edit iProperties" command, ensuring a more logical arrangement than previous versions.
New feedback tool
With our new Feedback tool, you can easily share your insights, report bugs, or propose ideas directly within the Inventor environment. This streamlined process eliminates the need for external searches, allowing you to contribute to the ongoing development of T4I.
The Feedback tool is conveniently accessible from both the "Be.Smart T4I" and "Be.Smart Labs" ribbons. Whether you're offering suggestions for T4I or other products, the feedback portal is your platform to shape the future of our software.

Bug fixes and other enhancements
Our commitment to excellence extends beyond new features to include crucial bug fixes and usability improvements. In this release, we've refined several commands to improve functionality and accessibility, even for users without a license.
For instance, commands like "About," "Export settings," "Helpdesk web," "Helpdesk," and "Quick Start Guide" can now be accessed without a license, ensuring you always have support and resources available. Additionally, we've removed redundant commands, such as the "Align hatching" command from the Be.Smart Labs panel, to streamline the interface further.
To enhance your experience, we've also addressed an IBM437 encoding name error that previously hindered BOM exports to Excel. This fix will allow for smoother data transfers and improved productivity.
