Version 14 allowed for better role-based access controls, automated version tracking, and seamless import/export of standard formats like DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) and AAMA (American Apparel Manufacturers Association) standards.

This reduced the classic problem of "version confusion," where a factory cuts from an outdated pattern, leading to costly rework.
