v7.0 [Sep 13, 2012]
Strata Design 3D CXi 7.0.6 includes many improvements to help you with your creative projects. Chief among these are security upgrades for "sandboxing" and code signing. Design 3D CXi is now ready for the more advanced security environment that Apple is creating for Mac users.
Sandboxing changes some aspects of the user interface. These changes include how and where your custom resources are saved and how external files are dealt with. For example, when opening a pre-existing model you'll be prompted to locate any linked textures the first time you open the model. These sandbox restrictions are key to the protected environment being established by Apple. In addition to these security enhancements, the following changes and updates are included:
Collada:
