Changes to Alias Update installation
Starting with the Alias 2021.1 Update, Update releases will be available on the Autodesk Accounts page as a full install of the product. Instead of the Windows Installer patch (MSP) files you may be accustomed to, Alias Updates will use EXE setup installation files. With this change, the installation process automatically uninstalls the previous version of Alias before installing the Update. This means that uninstalling the Update no longer reverts to the previous version of Alias.
Reference Manager additions
- You can now pick several layers and change their color at the same time just like you can in the Object Lister.
- FBX files can now be imported as references files.

Modeling enhancements
Surface Fillet Tool
- We've added a third selection color to surface fillet inputs to indicate when more than two sets of surfaces have been picked. Now, when you select a third input set, the picked surfaces display in white. This way, it's easier for you to modify the selection to create two sets, or confirm the creation of multiple fillets. Use the selection options to add or remove surfaces from the individual sets.

In previous versions of Alias, multiple input sets displayed in the secondary surface color (yellow), which made it difficult to distinguish between second and third input sets.
- When the Section Type is set to G2 Curvature/Arc, enabling the Bezier Surfaces option now builds three degree-5 Bézier surfaces in the V direction.
Profile Tool
- We've improved the Profile Tool so that it now highlights the input profile curves correctly in situations where they do not touch the rail.

Import and export improvements
- You can now use the FBX file format to load and save subdivision bodies. Subdivision material assignments are supported.
Note: Creases are not supported when transferring subdivision bodies between Alias 2021.1 and Maya 2020 or Maya 2018 using the FBX format. In Fusion 360, subdivision bodies import as a mesh with a subdivision cage.

- When using File > Export > Screen or File > Export > Current Window, you can now output the PNG file with or without alpha information.

Data translation
Alias now supports the following:
- Importing and exporting CATIA V5 V5-6R2020 files.
- Importing NX 1899 Series files.
Alias API
- We've added a new argument to the AlReferenceFileSet::nextReferenceFileD method, which allows you to traverse only the top level of the reference structure as opposed to traversing the whole assembly tree.
