HELiOS in HiCAD - What's New?
Service Pack 1 2022 (V 2701)
Performance
With the update to Service Pack 1, significant performance improvements could be achieved in the context of the HELiOS/HiCAD interface.
For example, the transfer of the HiCAD product structure to the HELiOS database could be accelerated by a factor of 5..
International (non-metric) units
To further meet requirements for international work, the range of functions for displaying units (e.g. units of length or volume or time) was expanded accordingly with HELiOS 2022: With the help of HELiOS's attribute management, you can work at database attribute level with unit categories that also distinguish between EU and US units.
The HELiOS/HiCAD interface also implements this accordingly.
Major Release 2022 (V 2700)
Output of units via the Report Manager
If you work with the unit categories introduced in HELiOS 2022, you have the possibility to output the standard display units of relevant attributes also when transferring HiCAD product structures to the Report Manager.
The standard display unit is also used when displaying the attributes in the product structure tree.
Please note that Version 2022 (V 2700.0) of both HELiOS and HiCAD must be installed on the system.
