===New Simplification of User Interface===

The user interface was simplified through the joining of two tab menus into one new tab menu:
"Import & Convert SolidWorks Data":

The combining of the two menus makes Benderlink much easier to understand.  The extraction and conversion is also now performed in the same step, and data is refreshed from SolidWorks every time a new conversion is made.

===Recognition of Contiguous Arcs with No Straights===

This version of Benderlink can recognize the special case where the part is made of only arcs and no straight segments in the centerline.
