Linköping, Sweden–Nov. 19—Configura, a leading provider of innovative design solutions for the commercial interiors industry, is excited to introduce CET 15.5 Major, an update significantly improving its design software and making it easier and faster to navigate. Starting with CET 15.5, the new user interface (UI) will be enabled by default, though users still have the option to toggle back to the classic interface during the transition period.
CET 15.5 Officially Released
The update delivers several enhancements to the UI, including a streamlined component tab bar allowing users to collapse or expand the entire component tab in one go. Additional updates to the right-click options in the toolbar allow for quicker access to essential tools, like Keyboard Shortcuts and the Work Mode Editor. Configura’s commitment to user feedback is evident, as the “Share Feedback” option has been prominently relocated to the title bar, with expanded options for submitting issues or feature requests.
“These updates are a testament to our commitment to putting users at the heart of CET’s evolution in the commercial interiors industry,” said Erin Corrill, Global Head of User Community at Configura. “With each release, we’re focused on creating a smoother, faster design experience that empowers designers to do their best work. By incorporating user feedback into everything from interface updates to functional improvements, we’re making sure CET remains a powerful, innovative tool that keeps pace with the needs of today’s design community.”
Continuous User-Centric Updates
With this release, Configura reintroduces the “Next to drawing” location option for automatic backups, making it easier for team members to access backup files. For users working with shared project folders, this feature allows for easier backup location and better disk space management while maintaining the custom location option for added flexibility.
The Material Explorer has been optimized to be more responsive and able to load materials faster. Materials are now sorted under three tabs–CET Materials, Manufacturer Materials, and My Materials–for quick and easy access to different types of materials on the fly. Additionally, Customer's Own Materials (COMs) can now be saved as .gm files for improved data organization, and Finish Legends now supports COM materials with filtering options between Catalog finishes and COMs.
Configura is committed to continuous improvement, regularly implementing small updates that collectively enhance the user experience across its products. Recent updates include an increased attachment limit in the feedback dialog, optimized translations and improved navigation features such as arrow key support for quick chain dimensions. The Catalogue Downloader has been refined for faster updates and now includes a progress indicator, while tool group selection has been simplified for greater efficiency. Additional enhancements, like a new option for smaller PDF exports and streamlined settings, reflect Configura’s dedication to listening to user feedback and making ongoing refinements for better user satisfaction.
