• Warning when clicking “Clear All” in the Snapshots Manager window.
• Arc interpolation to the Area Cladding operation.

Some notable bug fixes that we have implemented:

• Resolved errors when adding a new robot and when working with templates in MachineMaker.
• Fixed critical and visualization errors related to drawing modes and 3D models.
• Addressed a bug with the Collision Avoidance option.
