Speed up sharing, inspect designs more easily, and work faster with improvements to screenshots, mirroring, and Section View.

- **New** : Capture screenshots directly to your clipboard with a single key combination for faster sharing and documentation.
- **Improved** : The Mirror tool now applies symmetry constraints automatically when you mirror sketch curves, keeping mirrored elements linked for faster, consistent edits.
- **Improved** : Now you can adjust the cut plane in Section View dynamically to inspect internal features and construction details more easily.

Try these changes and share your feedback in the comments below.

Will Dynamic / active mirroring be available for bodies too?

I played a little with the new tool.

Makes a lot of fun.

But I’m not sure yet if I need it for myself personally.

Can one of you explain to me for which specific application scenarios this tool is to use?

Hi [Jeriz](https://discourse.shapr3d.com/u/Jeriz),  
Is it possible to exclude bodies from the View section?  
In my screenshot, I have a case and 3 tubes.  
How to keep the tubes whole and only the case in Section View?  
Thanks.

Are you planning to make Section View available in Visualization too? As long as there are no methods to create an exploded view, this might be an alternative.

I also liked the simple section view as before.

Section View based on Front/Side/Top views.

Could we get that back too?

I would also like to see this:  
(crosspost)

An ability to freeze the the dynamic increment of movement of the cut so you may zoom out but keep the granularity. (Locked with/to a locked grid?)

When looking perpendicular to the cut, flip the gizmo to a for a sidewise control, left-right movement to move the cut. (Any movement becomes impossible for now.)

In my work-environment this would make the section view _really_ useful!
