- **Improved** : The Project tool now has a new option to project sketches without retaining a connection to their origin, allowing you to make further edits on projected sketches.

- **Improved** : Sketches snapped to a face center point now create a connection, allowing you to keep your sketches snapped when modifying earlier History steps.
- **Improved** : Circle center points now snap to holes, giving you more precision in your workflow.
- **Improved** : The Items Manager no longer displays red text notifications for invalid bodies.
- **Fixed (iPadOS only)**: Constraint badges are now more spread out on the iPad, ensuring they’re not in your way when sketching.

**Visualization updates:**

- **Improved** : Your recently chosen material filter now remains selected when switching between different spaces.
