Release notes

The objects in the drop-down menu are now in alphabetical order:

The project tree has been changed as follows:

• The functions have been separated into logical groups separated by a line where necessary.

• The functions available in the right-click menus have been reorganized. For example, all the creation functions are now below the Create new option:



• By default, symbol descriptions are now shown in the design language instead of the application language. However, the user can change this in the general Electrical settings.

• The Devices (location) project tree has been changed as follows:

  • Project and location nodes now have the option to create a new device: Create new > Device.

  • For locations, the Add location function has been changed to Create new > Electrical position.

• In the Devices (system) project tree, the system node now has the Create a new device option.

In project settings, there are now separate unpaired cross-reference settings for diagrams and arrangement drawings: Unpaired cross-references (Diagrams) and Unpaired cross-references (Arrangement drawings). A new option, Do not mark, is available for both. This option allows you to keep the unpaired reference in the drawing but not mark it with a cross:

Do not mark:	Mark:

New design languages have been added into the project settings. The project language affects the project’s wiring color abbreviations, default frame, and symbol descriptions, for example.

In general settings, the Start correct application, if drawing type is defined setting has been removed as it is no longer possible to change the sub-application (Schematics, Layout, etc.) manually; all functions of the sub-applications have been merged into one Electrical application, and the correct ribbon tab and functions are shown automatically based on the drawing type.

In general settings, there is a new Symbol descriptions in user interfaces setting available. The user can select application's language or design language as the language in which the symbol descriptions are shown. If the description is not found in that language, the other option is used. If the description is not found at all, the description will be empty.

Instead of the icon menus, symbols will now be selected in the new Symbol selection dialog in all functions.

• By default, the symbols are shown based on the drawing type but in some functions it is possible to select another drawing type from the Electrical symbols drop-down menu.

• There are five tabs which filter the symbols shown in the Symbols section:

  	for Electrical symbols
  	for symbols in the current drawing
  	for symbols in the current project
  	for user's own symbols
  	for symbols marked as favorites

• The symbols you add to your favorites will also be available in the Symbols window, on the (Favorite symbols) tab.

• If the function allows selecting only one symbol, it can be selected by double-clicking. If the function allows selecting several symbols, double-clicking will move them to the selected symbols.

The new dialog will open, for example, when

• Selecting the default symbol for cable markings and cable package markings and wire markings in project settings

• Selecting the symbol for location, device, additional information, and circuit boundaries

• Inserting feeder occurrences

• Inserting terminal blocks/connectors

• Creating scalable symbols

• Saving your own single-line symbols

• Adding symbols for wirings in arrangement drawings

• Defining 3D equivalences and default equivalences

The Symbols window has been changed as follows:

• You can now save and insert your own symbols via the new (User's symbols) tab:

  • You can define the folder structure yourself, i.e. you can create folders and subfolders and name and rename them as you like.

  • You can import your own symbols from the old icon menus.

  • You can start the Save symbol function via this tab.

  • You can define your own symbols as favorites, in which case they are also available via the (Favorite symbols) tab.

• On the Symbols in another drawing tab, it is now possible to remove drawings from the list by clicking the (Remove) button next to the drawing name:

  

• If a drawing with no drawing type defined or a drawing with no symbols is active, the Symbols window will show multi-line diagram symbols by default.

For more information, see the following instructions:

• Layout: Symbols window and Saving your own symbols

• Single-line: Symbols window and Saving your own symbols

• Schematics: Symbols window and Saving your own symbols

• Cabinet Layout: Symbols window and Saving your own symbols

Saving user's own symbols has been changed as follows:

• The Add to icon menu section is now Save to user's symbols.

• There is a new drop-down menu Database type from which you can select Shared or User as the database where the symbol will be saved to.

• The Icon menu to where the symbols will be saved drop-down menu is now Folder where the symbols will be saved. The folders can be managed in the Symbols window.

• Tiptext of the symbol button is now Tooltip for the symbol button.

The storey settings have been changed as follows:

• It is now possible to define IFC angle for the site and the building, either by entering the value or indicating two points in the drawing.

• Above the tree structure, there are new Add, Copy and Remove buttons with which you can, for example, add and copy storeys and remove drawings.

• The buttons for buildings, storeys and drawings have been moved to the top of each section. Furthermore, the icons have been replaced by text: Add, Set angle, Copy, Change drawing and Remove.

• There is a new button, Alignment cube, with which you can create the same alignment cube to all drawings. The alignment cube enables viewing the location of the data model. The alignment cube will always be included in the IFC export.

When starting the Leader to element's markings layer function via the right-click menu, the selected object's system and layer are now used.

It is now possible to define number, name and/or area to be shown for area boundaries. Previously, the name was always shown.

By default, wire marking is not added for short wires (10x scale) – now, it is possible to add the wire mark later with the Wire marking (automatic) function or by right-clicking the wire and selecting Add wire marking.

When a short wire is selected, the application will confirm if you want to add the marking. If you selected several wires, you can select Yes to insert the marking to all the selected wires whereas No will skip the short ones and only insert it to the longer ones.

On the Hole functions tab, the Other hole symbols button now opens the Symbols window instead of the symbol menu, offering an easier way to insert provision symbols.

It is now possible to divide the space also by right-clicking the space wall and selecting Divide space.

Network calculation has been changed as follows:

• You can now view group/feeder numbers and distribution board IDs for all connected devices, cables, and distribution boards.

• You can automatically generate single-line diagrams based on an electrical network in an arrangement drawing.

• In the ribbon, in the Single-line toolset, Loop diagram has been renamed as Draw network.

When using wiring mark user symbols converted from an earlier version, the E_ID attribute was shown for wiring marks and it was not possible to hide it.

Adding or copying a cable marking when the project setting Cable Customer ID visibility in drawing was set to Visible resulted in the information not updating immediately into the drawing.

When removing cable termination references, reference occurrences sometimes stayed in the run-time database causing problems when redrawing.

The project tree was not always updated when removing cables or cable packages.

When a drawing was opened without the project database, all the cable markings were moved to the active layer.

When references were on different sheets and drawing the reference was canceled, the first part of the reference stayed in memory, causing problems when using the function next time.

When editing a drawing made in a version released prior to 2020, it was not possible to change the angle of upward or downward reference arrows to 0.
