Settings > Docking windows and activate the Civil Engineering functions option. Project: HiCAD Sheet Metal
The Sheet Metal connections are based on HiCAD's market-leading, innovative Design Variant Technology, which combines the possibilities of parametric and non-parametric design in a unique way.
Put simply, a so-called Design Variant is an arbitrary number of variable design steps. Once created, the Design Variant can be re-used in other drawings, at any time and even by other users. If desired, Design Variants can also be modified and extended. Compared with invariable, pre-programmed joint functions, Design Variants are therefore much more flexible and suitable for a significantly wider field of application.
The insertion of Design Variants in Sheet Metal drawings takes place via the Civil Engineering functions docking window.
To activate the window, select Settings > Docking windows and activate the Civil Engineering functions option.
The functions available in the docking window are arranged by different categories in a tree-like structure. For each selected function a preview image at the bottom of the window is displayed. To call a function, double-click the name of the function in the structure tree or the preview image.
Furthermore, the following options are available in the dialogue window:
|
|

The following Sheet Metal Design Variants are currently available:
The settings for the different dialogue windows can be saved as favourites and reused at any time. To do this, click on the 
symbol.
The Favourites supplied with the software are only examples and may have to be adapted to your company's specific needs. More information on Favourites management can be found at HiCAD Basics > Working Environment and Operation > Operation.
You can load the Favourites in the Configuration Editor at Sheet Metal > Sheet development > Default setting as the new default setting for new model drawings.
