New sheet metal sensors can check flat pattern dimensions against raw material size. Base Flange thickness now supports mid-plane thickness from the sketch entities. A new automatic Sheet Metal Gauge Annotation makes it easy to add a numerical gauge value to the drawing with a note or a title block value. Structure Systems collects similar corners to automate corner trim orders in one step. New Connection Elements can be created from your part geometry to add welded bodies, and they can be copied to each similar corner. Weldment sizes are now configurable, making it easy to create stronger design options with a single feature.

Gréât thank you

[@user-mf6ij8ps2z]

what is the difference between it the weldements ?

[@MLCCADSystems]

Structure Sytems and Weldments are very similar, but they use different approaches. In general, structure systems will make it easier to create very large and complex frames without as much 3D sketching or manual touches. Both are worth learning, but they overlap a lot in terms of applications.
