Material properties of B31.4 and B31.5 are updated in accordance with B31.4 (2009) and B31.5 (2006). The new material libraries are named as B314-2009.mat and B315-2006.mat respectively.

Default Insulation density for Calcium Silicate in CAEPIPE is modified to 15 lb./ft^3 from 11 lb./ft^3.

New feature to export the 3D piping model to CADMATIC as structural components (only graphics without attributes). This can be performed through File ->Export to 3D Plant Design from inside the Layout window.

In Hanger/User Hanger dialog, the field "Hanger above" is replaced with "Hanger below". This should be used to specify a Hanger connected below the pipe. Graphical symbol changes accordingly.
