New AttachModel() method of DGAX control provides a way for sharing models between two or more components, thus enabling multi-view functionality.

New Multi View sample demonstrates the model sharing functionality.

New methods of IScene_DG allow setting entity's and its local frame visibility on per-view basis.

New IEntity_DG.SetGeometryTypeEx() method allows controlling density of generated mesh during type conversions directly.

New IRectangularTrimmedSurface_DG interface allows defining surfaces as subsets of another basis surface.

A number of bugs throughout the software has been fixed.
