Element Installation - What's New?

Service Pack 2 2023 (V 2802)

Feature - Enhanced Create new function

When editing an element installation, no complete recalculation is performed, but only the installation elements selected for editing are handled. If, for example, you have edited parts of an installation element with functions outside the element installation, e.g. moved, deleted or drilled, and this installation element is not changed by selecting another variant or changing the parameters, then these parts remain moved, deleted, drilled, etc.

This behaviour can be changed afterwards with the function Create new in the context menu of the feature Element installation. Previously, dimensions and other edits, e.g. drilling, to parts of the installation elements were lost. As of SP2, these are retained.

The same applies to sub-structures.

You can find an example here.
