What's New Highlights for ProStructures 2023

General Updates:
  • Rebranding from ProStructures CONNECT Edition to ProStructures 2023

    Since brand is an integral part of the application identity, rebranding ProStructures CONNECT Edition to ProStructures 2023 results in several changes to the default installation directories, registry entries, executables and many other aspect of the application. References to 'CONNECT Edition' were replaced with '2023' which refers to current year. The ProStructures 2023 rebranding does not impact or change the Building Information Modeling feature set available in the product, and is both the next update release and successor to ProStructures CONNECT Edition Update 7.2, ProStructures CE, and ProStructures 2023 can coexist on the same computer, please refer installer update, side-by-side installation.
