- Projects are ordinary folders with versioned changes; imported models do not retain their feature history.
Field notes
The app is described as keeping projects in ordinary folders and saving each change as a version users can compare or restore. Importing an existing model is supported, but its feature history does not come along. The stated engineering limits are specific: stress studies cover linear stress on parts and bonded assemblies, and drawings need review before they go to a shop.
