Update Existing Bolted Flange Connections (PE)

When you load a model drawing that has been created with a HiCAD Version before 2018 SP1, the following adjustments will be carried out automatically - irrespective of whether you have already worked with saved bolted flange connections or not:

• The origin of the local coordinate system will be placed in front of the first flange face (seen from the bolt heads). The origin was formerly located between the flange faces.
• Formerly, bolted flange connections had 3 named points. These will be removed.

If bolted flange connections referring to an article master exist in the model drawing, it is assumed that these bolted connections were inserted while the Use saved bolted flange connections option was activated . In this case, the following additional actions will be performed:

• The KRA file for the bolted connection in the PlantParts directory will be deleted.
• The bolted connection will be saved as a referenced element. In the process, a new KRA file will be created in the RefTeile1 directory. If a matching KRA file already existed in the KRA directory, the bolted connection will only be marked as a reference to it and updated to the state of the existing KRA file.
• The document master linked to the bolted connection will be adjusted, so that HEL_DATEINAME now points to the KRA file in the RefTeile1 directory
