Provides information on the current drawing, e.g. name of the drawing, number of geometry objects and elements in the drawing, etc.

Licenses
Displays licence information.

Important:

The maximum number of possible 2-D elements has been increased from 2,000 to 10,000 in the basic module HiCAD creator.

In fact, the number of 2.-D points displayed when you select Help Topics and Information > Drawing can be much higher than 10,000. This is because this function also counts 2-D points that can belong to 3-D views displayed in 2-D, dimensions, axes, centre lines, etc. These points will not be considered for the calculation of the maximum elements in the HiCAD creator. Therefore the Help Topics and Information > Drawing option cannot be used as a reference here (SP2).
