FileMaker 16 - New Features

Almost all the new features in the newly released FileMaker version 16 are focussed on the developer. End users will benefit though, as developers implement new powerful features in current and new systems. 

Layout Objects window	Get a hierarchical list of all objects on your layout. Select an object and instantly make a change without having to ungroup the set. Plus, easily find stacked or hidden objects on your layout.
Cards	In one easy step, create windows that are automatically sized and placed appropriately on the main screen. Users can open other windows or files without having to first close the card.
New FileMaker Pro interface on Windows OS	Get a more native Windows OS experience on FileMaker Pro with the brand-new user interface.
Copy and paste value lists	Save valuable development time with the ability to copy and paste value lists in FileMaker Pro.

External script steps	Extend the capabilities of third-party plug-ins with support for external script steps in the FileMaker Plug-in SDK and the iOS App SDK.
