Collaborate in IC.IDO w/ remote sites, no IDO.Cooperate
Conducting and sharing an review of new assembly or service processes for new products and associated working environments when not all participants have ability or desire to join via IC.IDO.Cooperate funtionality. Such as screen sharing with web meeting tools like MS Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, or Webex.

Modelling pretension of Bolts
To simulate bolt pretension, a new medium called PRELOAD has been developed. With this medium, the strain generating the pretension is automatically computed and applied on the model.

Running IC.IDO on a 4K monitor (Admin)
When running IC.IDO on a high DPI / 4K monitor, the Desktop UI layout looks "broken" and parts are unreadable. Since Windows 10 version 1803, there is a setting that helps to get the IC.IDO Desktop UI being displayed properly.
