Project: HiCAD 2-D

What's New in HiCAD 2-D?


Service Pack 1 2019 (V 2401)

 

Maximum number of layers

In previous versions the possible maximum number of layers in HiCAD could be set in the Configuration Editor at System settings > 2-D Lines with the parameter Maximum number of layers. From Service Pack 1 onwards, this parameter will no longer be available. The number of possible layers has now been set to constantly 1000. (Layer 0 - 999).


Translation tool - Ignore upper/lower case letters

In the Configuration Editor you can now also specify whether upper and lower case letters are to be taken into account when localizing texts with the translation tool. The default setting is Consider.

You can find this option at System settings > Miscellaneous > Translation -Upper and lower case letters. For a change of this setting to take effect, HiCAD needs to be restarted.

The setting will not be saved in the drawing or in the text; it is a pure system setting.


New display of 2D-Part structure in ICN

Like the 3D-Part structure display in the ICN, the 2D-Part structure display has had a redesign:


Visualisation of Bitmaps

Bitmaps in HiCAD drawings (e.g. logos in title blocks) will now be visualized on the screen via OpenGL. In this way the performance for visualisation could be increased significantly, especially for large Bitmaps: In tests the performance could be improved by a factor of up to 60.


Major Release 2019 (V 2400)

 

Delete annotation, in rectangle

The Delete tags menu of the Delete text function now features the new In rectangle option.

This function deletes all annotations the insertion point of which lies within one or several rectangles. The actual deletion will only take place after a right-click.
