Discontinuation

Discontinuation of the ISD.PDM.API Before carrying out a HELiOS update for an older HiCAD version, please note that from HELiOS 2022 omwards, the previous ISD.PDM.API will be discontinued and replaced by the new API from Helios.Interface. If you use customisations that use functionalities from the previous ISD.PDM.API, you must update the customisations to the new API before carrying out the HELiOS update. If you use customisations that use functionalities from the HiCAD API, you should ensure that the HiCAD version used is at least version 2502.5 or 2601.1 or newer. If you are unsure whether you are using corresponding adaptations, please talk to your administrator or contact the ISD in case of doubt.

Service Pack 2 2023 (V 2802)

Link development

The HiCAD API provides the following command for deleting links between 2-D and 3-D developments in Sheet Metal:

• ISD.CAD.SheetMetal.SheetDevelopment.RemoveDevelopmentReference(Figure developmentFigure)

Service Pack 1 2023 (V 2801)

API

Divide along direction and Divide with sketch

The following functions are now available in the HiCAD API:

• 3-D-Standard > Process > Trim > Divide along direction (DividePartAlongDirection)
• 3-D-Standard > Process with sketch > Subt. > Divide with sketch (DividePartBySketch)

 

Laminated glass in the API

The following command is available in the HiCAD API for laminated glass (Steel Engineering > Plate, new > Laminated glass and Metal Engineering > New > Laminated glass:

• LaminatedGlassCreator

 

Determine base part of a dependent part

Using the HiCAD API (Node.GetDependentNodeSource und Node.ExchangeDependentNodeSource), you can now determine the base part for a dependent part. This is useful if the dependent and the base part are derived and the derivations are related to each other.

 

Set fixed view point

The following API functions are available for the new function Set fixed view point (Views > Transform > ReqPos >... ), with which you fix the active view at a point associative to the geometry:

• View.SetFixPoint (Set fixed view point)
• View.ClearFixPoint (Delete fixed view point)
