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.
