Improvements since version 5.2.4:

PDF Import (Pro): Support for importing transparent text. Additionally, unusable fonts within PDF documents are now detected and no longer used to prevent display errors.

PDF Export: Correction of color display errors and resolution of an issue that caused some characters to be missing in the exported PDF.

STEP Import: The functionality for importing STEP models has been significantly expanded to enable even more detailed data transfer.

Measurements: Manually stamped dimensions are now permanently saved in the document and are therefore available even after the file is reopened.

Annotations: A bug related to reordering annotations has been fixed, ensuring that the order is now maintained consistently.

Exports: Fixed a potential crash when exporting oversized drawing graphics.

Additional improvements address specific requirements of individual customers.

Improvements since version 5.1.7:

Custom stamp shapes introduced: Stamp templates can now use custom stamp shapes.

Improved recognition of drawing elements: Automatic recognition has been expanded and text recognition optimized.

Improved STEP and PDF import: The import of inch drawings has been corrected. In addition, the functionality of the STEP import has been expanded.

Further improvements relate to the specific requirements of individual customers.

Improvements since version 5.1.5:

Optimization when positioning freely inserted stamps.

Optimization when numbering stamps.

Further improvements relate to the specific requirements of individual customers.

Improvements since version 5.0.7:

STEP import optimized: The import process has been improved; in addition, several display issues have been fixed and characteristic recognition has been expanded. The default lighting has been revised and now ensures a more consistent display. The alignment of the stamp views has also been optimized.

PDF raster import improved: PDF import has been further optimized.

PDF export – improved text searchability: Where possible, text is now searchable and copyable.

Opening of read-only project files corrected: An error that prevented opening has been fixed.

Exports now use the actual document name: Previously, there were discrepancies; file extensions were sometimes truncated in the name. This behavior has been corrected.

Improved characteristic recognition: Characteristic recognition has been further refined and now works more reliably.

Project settings can be updated when opening via startup parameters: Markings, classes, categories, and stamp templates can now be updated automatically.

Elements on hidden layers are no longer stamped: The stamp logic now reliably ignores hidden content.

Measurement in inch drawings improved: The measurement functions now deliver more reliable results, taking scaling factors into account.

Further improvements relate to the specific requirements of individual customers.

Improvements since version 4.9.8:

Import of STEP data: In addition to the previous import formats, STEP data can now also be imported, preferably in AP242 format.

Stamping on the 3D model: Stamping can now be carried out directly in the 3D CAD model (STEP-AP242 format with semantic PMI data).

Drawing comparison: In addition to the previous feature properties, the category is now also transferred.

User interface: Optimisation of the feature properties, revision of the toolbar and display of the licence information there.

Characteristics list: The columns in the characteristics list are now configurable.

Excel export: New Excel templates, the alternative Excel export has also been revised.

Measurement tool: Improved accuracy and usability. Extended evaluation and configuration options are also available.

DWG/DXF import: Import of files with multiple layouts optimised. Optionally, existing projects can be optimised when opened. This reduces the project file size and memory requirements.

Update project settings: The project settings (characteristic classes, stamp templates, tolerance table settings and tagging) can now be updated in existing projects from templates.


Further improvements relate to special requirements of individual customers.
