- Improved the visibility of selected symbols. A red bold symbol is drawn over a light blue dot to make it easier to identify the performer by its symbol.
- Improved the main window to be resizable.
- Improved audio file access in a drill. 3D looks at more directories for the audio file when re-opening the drill.
- Improved 3D Package saving. When saving a drill as a 3D package file, the file will open correctly even when the drill file has two appended suffixes. A 3D package file can be renamed by saving it with a different name.
- Expanded “Application Options”.
- Corrected the Block tool numbering. Sometimes blocks had positions numbered out of order, such as: 2, 1, 3, 4, 5.
- Corrected manually matching in the Block tool. Preview animation would revert to the default matching order.
- Corrected label positions when using the Label tool. Label positions would occasionally change unexpectedly.
- Corrected removing a prop from the drill so it no longer continues to ask for the picture file when re-opening the drill.
- Corrected text boxes when adding counts to a drill using the Count Editor. Existing text boxes are not duplicated on the new counts.
- Corrected Macintosh animation so music can start playing from the middle of a drill as it does on Windows.
- Corrected Command Q on the Mac to ask if you want to save existing changes before exiting. The quit shortcut is changed from Ctrl X to Ctrl Q on both platforms.
- Improved Macintosh version to use the new version of Mac version 1.4 or greater and OS 10.3 or greater to increase the program’s performance.
- Corrected opening a 3D backup file on Macintosh to automatically find the backups directory as it is done on Windows.
- Corrected all tool control panels on Macintosh to size correctly for all of the text to be displayed correctly for the new Macintosh font used in dialogs.
