Colour display

Overlapped graphical elements are displayed in colour, other graphical elements in the default colour.

Applies certain settings specified in the Configuration Editor if these have been changed in HiCAD during the current session.

Referenced 3-D parts are saved with the file name extension .KRA, and only in the directory predefined for referenced parts. The ISD-side default setting for this directory is the HiCAD subdirectory REFTEILE1, to which the short description L: is assigned in the system file FILEGRUP.DAT. This default setting can only be changed temporarily using this function.

Temporarily switches off the Undo function for 3-D models.
