BOLOGNA, Italy, Mar 17, 2026 – devDept Software S.r.l., leading provider of software development tools to the engineering industry, announces the release of Eyeshot 2026, the native CAD control for .NET.
New Features
- Selective Clipping through Entity.Clippable property
- OpenGL 3.3
Better support of modern GPUs - Surface.Project(Curve) method
Curve to surface projection along a direction - Brep and Solid ExtrudeRemoveThrough() methods
- ReadE57 class
- WorkUnit class refactoring to use the Task-based Asynchronous Pattern with new async APIs.
The WorkUnit infrastructure has been refactored to use the Task-based Asynchronous Pattern (TAP), removing the dependency on BackgroundWorker. Long-running operations can now be executed as Tasks and awaited, with built-in support for cancellation tokens and progress reporting. This makes it easier to keep the UI responsive, compose multiple operations, and write automated tests around Eyeshot workflows. - Geometry import API update
The legacy AddTo() method has been replaced by explicit OpenTo(), InsertTo(), and AppendTo() methods, with both synchronous and asynchronous variants. This refactoring includes geometry auto-scaling according to units. - Assembly Mates on Brep edges, vertices, and wire curves
- FEM Shell elements
FEM shell elements are specialized 2D finite elements designed to analyze thin-to-moderately thick structures (e.g., plates, shells, fuselage) where one dimension is significantly smaller than the others. - WriteIFC class
- Finer control of dimension text positioning
AutoCAD DIMJUST and DIMTAD properties - Region.RevolveAsBrep(), RevolveAdd(), RevolveRemove() methods now accept Interval amount parameter
- Improved Mesh.ConvertToBrep() for planar faces
- ReadDXF class based on ACadSharp
- Improved tessellation of toroidal (big aspect ratio) and spherical surfaces
- Toolpath entity with 5-axis support
- ProjectConverter tool has been redesigned to use Roslyn for semantic code analysis
Instead of relying on simple text-based replacements, the converter now understands the actual symbols and API usage within the project. - Visual Studio 2026 support
- .NET 10 support
Code Samples
- Hexagonal fill in SlicerDemo
- Insert text button in the SketcherDemo
- VolumeRendering
