Help window
The UI finder shows tool locations directly from the relevant Help content.
An animated arrow points you to the tool in the ribbon.

Geographic location
Capture online maps as a static images and print them. Freeze a contextual
location so designs won’t change even if site maps do.

Productivity tools
Using text within a drawing just got easier! Mtext works more like a word
processor, with features like bold, italic, align, and word wrap.

Reality computing
