Extension It is now possible to import DXF and DWG drawing files that use referenced files for their layout (external reference files, "XREF").

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.10.1

Bug fix Due to possible problems when working via Microsoft Remote Desktop, the update of the PDF import module in version 2.10.1 has been withdrawn.

Extension The keyboard in the quick entry dialog has been extended with buttons for minutes (') and seconds (").

Optimization When creating a new inspection plan version, the new version number is now suggested more 'intelligently' based on its predecessor.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.9.12

Optimization The first version of infra CONVERT was created at the end of the second millennium in cooperation with a Russian development team. Due to the current sad occasion, the war of aggression of the Russian Federation on Ukraine, we have decided to remove the Russian translation until further notice.

Bug fix The stability has been improved.

Extension A new version of the Excel test report template is available (ELIAS_Report_2022_DE_EN.xltx). The sample size can be indicated; between one and five parts can be selected. The deviation of the measured sample mean value from the nominal value (center of the tolerance zone) is displayed graphically. Measured values close to the tolerance limits are highlighted in color; the limit value can be selected.

Extension It is now possible to add additional general data to test plan versions. In addition to standard test plan attributes, such as "part number", "title" and " editor", any other attributes can be defined. The scope of exportable attributes depends on the test plan export format.
 See Functions > Test plans > Edit test plan > Additional test plan data
 See Settings > Settings > Administration > “Additional attributes for test plan versions” group

Extension The automatic recognition of characteristics has been improved.

Change/Bug fix Concerns the current Excel test plan template. Compatibility with older programme versions of Microsoft Excel has been improved. An unmapped case in a formula has been added.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.9.7

Optimisation To display drawings in certain formats, fonts installed on the computer are required. The assignment and use of certain fonts has been improved.

Extension Since some programme versions, general tolerance values can be assigned on the basis of the number of decimal places of the nominal dimension read in. Tolerance table files are now supplied which can be selected infra CONVERT ("Tolerances based on decimal places", "Tolerances based on decimal places, Angles") and provide a selection of tolerance assignments. The column "0.1/0.01/0.005/-/-", for example, provides the tolerance values "0.1" for zero decimal places, "0.01" for one decimal place, etc.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.9.6

Bug fix The stability in the drawing comparison mode has been improved.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.8.3

Bug fix Stability has been improved.

Extension Fonts of type SHX can now be used for the representation of drawings.

Optimization The active drawing sheet is better highlighted in the project tree.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.8.2

Bug fix The stabilty has been improved.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.8.1

Bug fix The stabilty has been improved.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.7.13

Extension In the demo version, the functions of the Pro version can now also be tested.

Bug fix Stability has been improved.

Extension General tolerance values can now also be assigned to a characteristic based on the number of decimal places of the nominal dimension.
 See Administrator’s Manual > Configuration and Import > Tolerance tables > Columns

Bug fix Errors when importing sheets from PDF files have been fixed.

Extension An option can now be used to specify that a message must first be confirmed before characteristics are finally deleted.
 See User manual > Settings > Settings > Characteristics > "Common" group

Extension The entire software is now also available in Chinese.

Extension/Optimisation The toolbars have been optimised:

• The buttons Project overview, Characteristic list, Characteristic details and Rotate view can now be found in the menu bar under the item View.
• The tools Show/hide layers, Hide stamped drawing elements and Filter ccharacteristics have been combined and unified in the main toolbar: They show the current status in the same way; the layer and filter edit dialogues are displayed as drop-down windows.
• The view tools group can be collapsed to hide view functions that can also be used with the mouse (two buttons and mouse wheel).
• The buttons for the numbering tools have been optimised.

 See User manual > User interface > Main window > Menu bar
 See Administrator’s Manual > Configuration and Import > "UiAccess" Parameter file > Element name

Optimisation Concerns the functionality and design of the "Characteristic details" window:

• When selecting several characteristics (group selection), all available properties can now be changed.
• The selection list for tags is directly accessible and shows the tag colours.
• The input behaviour has been revised in other places.

 See User manual > User interface > Function window > Characteristic properties

Optimisation The filter function has been extended:

• Filter criteria can be equal or unequal to a value.
• Filter criteria can be logically linked with And and Or.
• It can be filtered according to the characteristic property Duplicate.

 See User manual > Functions > Characteristics > Filtering

Optimisation The recognition of angles has been improved.

Extension The comparison list can now be exported in the drawing comparison.
 Siehe User manual > Functions > Drawings > Compare drawings (Pro version) > Workflow > Step 6

Optimisation The Excel audit report template for PPF, PPA and FAI has been revised. Space has been made in the header of the printable pages for company logo and other individual details.

Optimisation The automatic determination of the section shown in stamp graphics has been improved. The sections now fit better to small drawing entries.

Bug fix Concerns the combined DFD export, in which all partial test plans of a test plan version are combined (a partial test plan contains the characteristics of one sheet). The characteristic count number (K2001/xx) no longer starts a new with each partial test plan, but is assigned uniquely in the test plan.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.7.9

Optimisation Embedding fonts in exported PDFs.

Extension Font characters can now optionally be exported as geometric elements in PDF format.
 See User manual > Functions > Export > Export drawing > Workflow > PDF

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.7.9

Bug fix Stability has been improved.

Optimisation The import of drawing files has been improved.

Optimisation The recognition of characteristics has been improved.

Extension The progress when transferring characteristics in the drawing comparison is now displayed with a scroll bar.

Bug fix Concerns the test plan export in DFD format. The respective limit dimension (K2110, K2111) was not calculated if the characteristic property "Upper tolerance" or "Lower tolerance" was empty.

Bug fix Concerns test plan exports in the formats DFD, CSV and Excel. For characteristics that represent unilaterally limited dimensions, for example "20 min.", the respective undefined limit dimension (the natural limit) was output with "0" instead of undefined. In the example "20 min.": Upper limit = "0", lower limit = "20" instead of upper limit = "", lower limit = "20".

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.6.9

Optimisation The execution of various processes, such as loading drawing files and stamping, has been accelerated.

Bug fix Stability has been improved.

Optimisation A progress bar has been introduced.

Bug fix Fixed a failure to update the characteristics list when selecting stamps.

Optimisation The JSONV2 export format has been adapted (version 2.1). If the setting is set that individual characteristics are created depending on the specification of the repetitions, up to now a corresponding number of copies of the characteristic objects were exported to the JSON file. Only in the stamp text did these characteristic definitions differ.
A characteristic object is now only exported once. Several assigned stamp texts are output as a list with the property "MultiCharacteristicSplitStampTexts".
 See Administrator's Manual > Export > Quality test plan format JSONV2 > Characteristics
 See User manual > Settings > Settings > Characteristic > “Dimensions with details of repetitions” group

Extension The JSONV2 export format has been extended. The file paths of the stamp graphics are now exported (property: "StampGraphicFiles").
 See Administrator's Manual > Export > Quality test plan format JSONV2 > Characteristics

Extension The characteristic property "Requirement" is now also exported to JSONV2 and JSONV1.
 See Administrator's Manual > Export > Quality test plan format JSONV2 > Characteristics

Extension With the additional parameter "ExportOnSaveOnly", it can be defined for each target that no export takes place when the programme is closed without saving.
 See Administrator’s Manual > Configuration and Import > Startup parameter file > Startparameterdatei > Export quality test plans and stamped drawings

Optimisation The prefixes and suffixes last entered by the user in the stamp-with dialogue are now no longer saved.
 See Administrator’s Guide infra CONVERT > Configuration and Import
"Settings" Parameter file > List of the settings > Settings with no control elements in user interfaces

Optimisation In the class definitions ("CharacteristicClasses.json"), missing translations were completed and small corrections were made in the localised texts.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.6.6

Bug fix The preview display during drawing sheet import has been optimised.

Extension  Characteristic recognition has been improved.

Bug fix Fixed an error when changing stamp template properties ("Project Settings" menu).

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.6.5

Extension The PDF import has been optimised.

Bug fix In special cases it could happen when switching between characteristics that the property "Tolerance table" was not updated in the window "Characteristic properties". This error has been corrected.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.6.3

Change The licence service now uses the communication protocol TLS 1.2 instead of TLS 1.0 as before. An update of infra CONVERT is not required for this.

The programme version 1.6.2.0 of the licence service is also available as a separate download.

Bug fix Problems with the recognition of the modifier "E" (for "envelope condition") have been fixed.


Bug fix The start value was not always incremented as expected. The original behaviour was restored.

Bug fix In the drawing comparison, the reference point of the stamp could not be saved in special cases when manually inserted characteristics were merged. This error has been corrected.


Bug fix Characteristics could be exported to Excel and CSV in the wrong order if the names of drawing sheets in a test plan version were exactly the same. This error has been corrected.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.6.2

Bug fix Concerns the " Characteristic properties " window. When combining the functions Merge Characteristics in Drawing Comparison and Define Field Division, it could happen that the field key was not displayed in the characteristic properties and errors occurred during the test plan export. The error has been corrected.

Bug fix Concerns the "Characteristics Properties" window. The display in the list boxes for the tolerance table and tolerance class was not updated in some cases when switching between characteristics. This error has been corrected.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.5.6

Extension The feature recognition has been improved. Modifiers in geometric or shape and position tolerance specifications, for example "CZ", are now correctly recognised.

Bug fix In the Characteristics Properties window, an overlong title caused the contents of the window to become correspondingly wider, so that it was necessary to work with a scroll bar in an uncomfortable way. The width of the window is now fixed. An overlong title content is shortened and can be viewed in a tip text by hovering over it with the mouse pointer.

Bug fixing Concerns the "UT" field in the "Characteristics Properties" window. The last character was not deleted when the backspace key was pressed for the first time, instead the cursor only jumped one place to the left. This error has been corrected.

Extension The new Excel export template "ELIAS_Report_2021_DE_EN.xltx" combines three test reports, each of which conforms to the release procedure "Production Process and Product Release" (PPF, according to VDA 2), "Production Part Approval" (PPA according to IATF, AIAG) or "First Article Inspection" (FAI, according to ISO 9102).

Change/Extension With the last programme version, the change was published in the Excel export that numbers are no longer exported as text, but as a numerical value. However, stamp texts were also affected by this, so that for example "1.1" was interpreted in Excel as the number "1,1". Texts are now always exported with a text formatting character (apostrophe; recommended by Microsoft) to specify the formatting.

Extension The minimum number of digits can be set for the stamp number now. Missing digits are filled with zeros. For example, "1" becomes "001" if three digits are specified.
 See User manual > Settings > Settings > Stamp > “Marking” group
 See Administrator’s Guide infra CONVERT > Configuration and Import > "Settings" Parameter file > List of the settings > “Settings > Stamp” menu

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.5.1

Bug fix After entering in the field "Start value for stamp number assignment" ("Characteristics overview" window), the field remained active if work was subsequently continued in the drawing window. If the Del key was now pressed to delete a stamp, the action "Delete" was also executed in the start value field. This error has been corrected.

Change The Excel export template "ELIAS_EMPB_2020_DE_EN.xltx" was revised. The font was changed from "Segoe UI" to "Segoe UI Symbol". The latter font has the advantage that graphic symbols such as ⌀ or ⏥ are displayed larger and thus more legible. In addition, the unit of measurement is included in the data sheet.

Change The Excel export has been optimised. Numerical values (nominal dimension, upper and lower tolerance, upper and lower limit) are now no longer exported as text, but as a number. The Excel function "VALUE" recommended in the documentation is thus no longer needed to convert the text into a number. The settings in infra CONVERT for the decimal separators used in the Excel export are also no longer needed and are no longer applicable.
 See User Manual > More > Create and customize Excel templates
 See User Manual  > Settings > Settings > Export > “Excel test plan” group

Bug fix When exporting drawing or stamp graphics in 24-bit BMP format, the graphics were output larger by the factor of the set quality level when edge smoothing (anti-aliasing) was activated. This error has been corrected. (Background: A graphic is internally rendered larger by the specified quality level and then reduced again by the same factor using the set interpolation procedure in order to achieve a smoothing of the edges. The reduction failed with BMP graphics).

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.4.11

Extension With the explode function, drawing entries (text blocks) can be exploded into smaller elements, if necessary, in order to be able to stamp the entries they contain individually. The function has now been extended in such a way that it can also be decomposed into even smaller elements beyond groupings.
 See User Manual > Functions > Characteristics > Deconstruct text block

Extension In addition to the name of a class, a description can also be defined. Descriptions are now displayed in the characteristics properties as an addition to the class name.
 See Administrator's Manual > Configuration and Import > Parameter file "CharacteristicClasses" > Display text

Change When double-clicking on an entry in the characteristic list, the characteristic is no longer only centred, but the view assigned to the characteristic is fitted into the drawing window. The view exported later as a stamp graphic can thus be assessed directly by the user.

Change The mechanism for automatically determining the section of a drawing that is shown in the stamp view has been improved. Especially when only the text of a dimension entry is stamped, which is often the case with PDF drawings, the views now usually show the entire relevant content.

Bug fix In exceptional cases, zero values from dimension specifications in drawing entries were not transferred to the characteristic properties. This error has been corrected.

Extension Optionally, it can be specified that the file name of stamp graphics is built up from the test plan title, the test plan version and the stamp text instead of the GUID of the stamp.
 See User Manual > Settings > Settings > Export > “Stamp graphic format” group
 See Administrator's Manual > Configuration and Import > Parameter file "Settings" > List of the settings > “Settings > Export” menu

Extension UiAccess parameters can now be directly affected in the adminstrator mode in the user interface and the status can be saved.
 See Administrator's Manual > Configuration and Import > "UiAccess" Parameter file > Administrator tools

Extension Additional UiAccess parameters are available for the following controls:

• Field "Stamp number" (Characteristics Properties Window)
• Field "Prefix" (Characteristics Properties Window and Stamp-with-Dialogue)
• Field "Suffix" (Characteristics Properties Window and Stamp-with-Dialogue)
• Filter characteristics (Characteristics overview window)
• Hide stamped drawing elements (Toolbar)

 See Administrator's Manual > Configuration and Import> "UiAccess" Parameter file > Element name

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.5.0

Extensiong The file name of the stamp graphic is now also exported in JSONV1 format.
 See Administrator’s Guide > Export > Quality test plan format JSONV1 > Characteristics

Bug fix In the last version, the possibility was introduced to build the file name of the stamp graphic from the test plan title, version and stamp text instead of the stamp GUID. However, the file name or the file path of the stamp graphics was still exported with the GUID to the test plans in DFD, CSV and Excel format. This error has been corrected.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.4.7

Bug fix Stability problems have been fixed.

Extension/Change The licensing service has been revised and functionally extended:

• The layout of the licence information dialogue has been made more user-friendly.
• More detailed status messages are output.
• The number of used single licences of a multi-user licence is displayed.
• The users who have individual licences in use are displayed. This function is deactivated by default and can only be activated with administrator rights.

The current licence service ("EliasLicenseService") version 1.6.1.0 is required.
 See User Manual > Installation > Set up a single user license
 See User Manual > Installation > Set up a multi-user license
 See User Manual > Settings > Settings > General > “License server” group

Bu fix In the menu "Project settings" it was not possible to create several tags at once. Only after exiting and reopening the menu was it possible to create another tag. This error has been corrected.

Änderung If infra CONVERT is started in administrator mode, the settings are loaded from the ProgramData directory, user-specific settings of the administrator (from AppData) are not taken into account. It has been changed that when saving the settings in administrator mode, the user-specific settings of the administrator are no longer deleted.
 See Administrator's Manual > Introduction > Overview (program version 2) > Behavior without start parameter call > Operating the program in administrator mode

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.4.6

Bug fix Fixes errors in drawing and stamp graphic export in GIF format. Transparencies were exported black when using a colour depth of 8 bits. Exports based on DWG and DXF drawings failed.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.4.4

Extension More example drawings are installed. Among other examples, there are now DXF and DWG files with drawing contents in the paper areas, an example of a collective drawing ("Hexagon_nut") as well as PDF files with different "qualities" for automatic characteristic recognition:

• PDF with raster image
• PDF with text overlay or searchable text
• PDF with partial text
• PDF with full text

 See User Manual > More > Terms > Drawing data format
 See User Manual > More > Create test plans from a collective drawing

Extension A new Excel test report template is available. It offers the following advantages: 

• The template is designed in accordance with the requirements of VDA Volume 2 (Appendix 4: Product-related verification) in the currently valid sixth edition of 2020;
• Up to 1 000 features can be represented;
• Two lines per characteristic offer space also for longer characteristic texts;
• The language (German, English) can be switched directly in the Excel workbook.

 See Brief instructions on the "Datenerfassung" and "Admin" worksheets in the Excel template itself.

Extension The last selected options for the Excel export (Selected Excel template file; Open Excel directly after the export process) are now automatically saved. 
 See User Manual > Settings > Settings > Export > “Excel test plan” group 

Extension An integrated Excel export module can now optionally be used if Microsoft Excel is to be dispensed with. 
 See User Manual > Settings > Settings > Export > “Excel test plan” group

Bug fix Various errors in the PDF import have been fixed.

Bug fix If an existing project with an included test plan version was opened, the user then created a new test plan version and deleted the existing one, the export did not work. This error has been corrected.

Bug fix Overlayed/searchable text in PDF drawings was visibly exported to drawing and stamp graphics. This bug is fixed.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.3.0

Extension Current project settings (definitions for tags, categories and stamp templates) can now be exported from a project to be used as templates for new projects, or alternatively (including assignment of tolerance tables) can be set directly as default. 
 See User Manual > Settings > Project settings > Tolerance tables/Tags/Categories/Stamp templates > Save/Export

Extension In the project settings it can now also be defined that a tag does not overwrite the stamps colour. This setting option was previously not available in the user interface. 
 See User Manual > Settings > Project settings > Tags > Properties

Extension The position or orientation of an automatically set stamp can now be defined in the project settings. This setting option was previously not available in the user interface.
 See User Manual > Settings > Project settings > Stamp templates > Properties

Change The default stamp position or stamp orientation of an automatically set stamp has been changed from top right to right in relation to the drawing entry. 

Extension The stamp size can now be changed in the project settings by clicking buttons for all stamp templates simultaneously. 
 See User Manual > Settings > Project settings > Stamp templates > Create, edit or delete stamp templates

Extension The thickness of the connection line of stamps can now be changed. 
 Siehe User Manual > Settings > Project settings > Stempelvorlagen > Eigenschaften 
 See Administrator's Manual > Configuration and Import > Parameter file "StampTemplates" > Thickness of the connection line

Extension When importing DXF, DWG and IGES files, large groups of drawing elements are now automatically exploded. This makes stamping easier by reducing the need for manual splitting. 
 See User Manual > Settings > Settings > Import > “Common” group

Bug fix Several errors concerning the display and stampability of drawings have been fixed.

Bug fix An error was fixed when all UiAccess parameters for list entries in context menus were set to "Collapsed".

Extension A filtered export of stamped drawings to PDF was not yet possible if infra CONVERT was previously called up via start parameters. This is now possible. 

Bug fix In special cases, drawing sheets that were originally imported in TIF format were exported to PDF with inverted colours. This error has been corrected.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.2.6

Extension The characteristic title (= short name of the characteristic, displayed in the characteristics list and in the characteristic properties window) can now also be created using the characteristic property "Reference" as variable or module. 
 See Benutzeroberfläche > Funktionsfenster > Merkmalübersicht > Spalten der Merkmalliste
 See User manual > User interface > Function window > Characteristic properties > Properties 
 See User manual > Settings > Settings > Characteristic > “Format characteristic title” group

Extension For a stamping process, values for prefix and suffix can be specified by entering them in the corresponding fields in the Stamp-with-dialogue. These values can now also be pre-set in the "Settings.json" ("StampPrefix", "StampPostfix") to be set directly after starting infra CONVERT in the Stamp-with-dialogue.
 Siehe Administrator's Manual > Configuration and Import > Parameterdatei "Settings" > List of the settings > Settings with no control elements in user interfaces

Bug fix If a "Settings.json" was transferred by calling up the start parameter, the start value for the stamp number set in it was set in the "Settings" menu but not in the "characteristics overview" window. This error has been corrected.

Extension The numerical values of nominal dimension, upper tolerance and lower tolerance can now be created with a fixed minimum number of decimal places when stamping. 
 See User manual > Settings > Settings > Characteristic > “Number format” group
 See Administrator’s Guide > Configuration and Import > "Settings" Parameter file > List of the settings > Merkmale“

Extension Positive limits are now marked with a plus sign in the list of characteristics to improve readability.

Extension/Bug fix Improved representation and import of raster graphics in PDF drawing sheets.

Extension Additional variables can now be exported to Excel test reports: Reference, class symbol, number of repetitions, upper or lower limit (min., max.) and modifiers.
 See User Manual > More > Create and customize Excel templates

Extension The structure of the Excel export variable "Requirement" was improved: 

• characteristics of the class "Geometric Tolerance" or "Shape and Position" now contain the reference data,
• positive limit dimensions are marked with a leading plus sign.

The formatting of the "Requirement" is defined for each characteristic class with the "RequirementTemplate" in the "CharacteristicClasses.json".
A precondition for the effectiveness of the changes is that the "CharacteristicClasses.json" supplied is used or that the changes contained therein are applied to "RequirementTemplate".
 See User Manual > More > Create and customize Excel templates
 See Administrator’s Guide > Configuration and Import“ > Parameter file "CharacteristicClasses" 

Extension The title bar can now be exported to the CSV test plan even if the export was triggered by a start parameter.
 See Administrator's Manual > Configuration and Import > Startup Parameter File > Export quality test plans and stamped drawings

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.2.3

Bug fix The program language was always German at the first start. The program language is now correctly determined again based on the system language.

Bug fix Characteristics can now again be generated from freely tolerated dimensions, even if the selected general tolerance table does not cover this nominal dimension range (usually greater than "999 999").

Extension The quality of drawing and stamp graphics has been significantly improved by optimising the antialiasing techniques used.

Extension Antialiasing, which is applied to drawing and stamp graphics, can now be influenced. 
 See User Manual > More > Terms > Antialiasing 
 See User Manual > Settings > Settings > “Drawing graphic format” group 
 See User Manual > Settings > Settings > “Stamp graphic format” group

> Export quality test plans and stamped drawings 
 See Administrator's Manual > Configuration and Import > "Settings" Parameter file > List of the settings > “Settings > Export” menu

Bug fix Concerns the export of stamped drawings as PDF. Searchable, transparent text (contained in PDF drawings) is no longer visibly exported.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.1.2

Extension A diagnostic report can now be exported from the user interface. This can be sent to the system provider in case of support.
 See User Manual > User interface > Main window > Menu bar> The “Help” menu
 See User Manual > Function > Help > Diagnosis

Bug fix Stability problems when working in the drawing window and in drawing comparison have been fixed.

Extension The import of PDF files has been improved. Special PDF functions can now be interpreted and implemented correctly.

Extension Die Sichtbarkeit von Layern (auch: Ebenen, Folien) in Zeichnungsblättern kann mit der neuen Funktion Layer bearbeiten beeinflusst werden. Die Funktion ist nur in der Pro-Version verfügbar. 
 See More > Terms > Layer (drawing-)
 See Functions > Drawings > Edit layers 

Extension Concerns characteristic recognition. Exactly superimposed drawing entries with the same text, which have been created incorrectly during drawing creation, are automatically recognised during stamping and are not stamped. 

Bug fix Concerns the last newly introduced filter function. Characteristics that have been filtered out are no longer selected in the characteristics list by pressing the key combination Ctrl + A. 

Bug fix When switching the feature type in the feature properties, in some cases the characteristic title was not updated immediately. This error has been fixed.

Bug fix Concerns the export of stamped drawings as PDF. Transparencies were replaced with the colour value white if the underlying drawing file was a PDF with embedded raster graphics.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.0.8

Extension The units of measurement "Newton millimetre", "Ampere per centimetre", "Ampere per metre", "Millitesla" and "Tesla" have been completed and can be added to classes. 
 See User Manual > More > Terms > Measurement (sizes-)

Extension When switching the class in the "Characteristic properties" window, the characteristic type is now also changed, if a different type is defined in the class definition.
 See User Manual > User interface > Function window > Characteristic properties
 See Administrator's Manual> Configuration and Import > Parameterdatei "CharacteristicClasses" > Characteristic type 

Extension When merging Characteristics in drawing comparison, the position of the stamp on the target drawing sheet is now redetermined for CAD-bound characteristics (automatically stamped characteristics) depending on the drawing entry. 
 See User Manual > Functions > Drawings > Compare drawings (Pro version) > Arbeitsablauf > 5) Merge changed characteristics

Bug fix Compatibility problems with some graphics cards have been fixed.

Bug fix In some constellations the quality of sheets in raster graphics format was poor. This error has been corrected.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 2.0.6

Extension An indicator (green checkmark) in the toolbar shows whether the field division is defined for the respective sheet. 
 See  User Manual > Functions > Drawings > Define field division 
 See User Manual > User interface > Main window > Toolbar > The “Stamp tools” group 

Extension The identification of dimensions specified in the form of ascending dimensions has been improved. The zero for marking the origin is filtered out during stamping if it is combined with the dimension entry to form a block. 

Extension Various recognition mechanisms have been improved. 

Bug fix Concerns the new function "Hide Stamped Characteristics". If a Characteristics was deleted in the hidden state, the corresponding drawing entry was not immediately shown again. This error has been corrected.

Bug fix Concerns the new filter function. Exporting in JSONV1 and ASCII transfer format did not work for partial test plans to which a filter with the "Category" or "Tag" criterion was applied. This error has been corrected.

Changes, extensions and bug fixes since version 1.6.6.0

Change/Extension With the big version leap from 1.x.x.x to 2.x.x, the 32-bit software becomes a 64-bit software. This way infra CONVERT will be able to meet the requirements of large memory requirements for CAD drawings and an optimal integration into up-to-date operating systems also in the future. Essentially the following changes have to be considered:

• Windows 64-bit operating systems are supported, starting with Windows 7;
• The installation directory changes to "C:\Program Files";
• The AppData configuration directory is used explicitly; user-specific settings were previously stored implicitly in the VirtualStore;
• The format of "settings.json" was simplified, old files can still be read.

Please pay particular attention to the following linked pages of the documentation.
 See User Manual > Installation > System requirements
 See User Manual > Installation > Update
 See Administrator's Manual > Introduction > Overview (program version 2)

Extension Characteristics can be filtered by properties (Type, Class, Category, Tag) using a new function, available only in the Pro version.
 See User Manual > User interface > Function window > Characteristics overview > Functions for filtering
 See User Manual > Functions > Characteristics > Filtering

Extension With the new function "Hide stamped drawing elements", available only in the Pro version, you can temporarily hide already stamped drawing entries in the drawing window.
 See User Manual > User interface > Main window > Toolbar > The “Viewing tools, extended” group

Extension Characteristics that have been freely inserted are now inserted in the drawing comparison at exactly the position where the mouse is clicked during manual merging.

Extension Entries in the characteristics list can now be moved directly by grabbing them with the mouse pointer. 

Change/Extension The start window was revised. The project list has been improved in representation and function.
