• Fixed a problem with the stamp sizes.
• Fixed a display problem with PDF files which where rotated.

• infra - CONVERT now supports several feature types. Now it’s posseble to define features with form, color, name and diameter. An ID will be generated for each feature type, so your CAQ software will be able to identify these features. The feature types “Standard” (ID=0) and “Special” (ID=1) are default.
• The feature types can be selected at the toolbar.
• It is possible to change the selected feature to a new type by clicking “Set feature
• type” in the toolbar or in the feature menu.
  The format of the stamp texts can be edited by clicking on the keyboard icon behind the “Stamp text” in the “Edit feature” dialog.
• The settings dialog was reworked. Some old settings where removed and the “Feature” block was arranged new.
  
  This are the new settings:
  
  - Stamp->Size: Stamps now have a fxed diameter. At this dialog you can define the size of the stamp.
  - Stamp->Caption: The starting value and increment are found here. The form of the stamp text can now be edited with the “Edit feature” dialog (see above).
  - Print->Always use line weights: If active, the program always uses the line weights definition inside the drawings.
  - Feature->Color of the selected feature: The selected feature will always be filled with this color. Other feature colors are defined in the “Featuretypes” window.

  The IGES interface was improved.
• infra-CONVERT now recognizes rectangular dimension blocks, which identical theoretical dimensions, if they are constructed with a polyline.
• For the dongle version:
  
  - The newest driver of Wibu Systems is now bundled.
  - If no dongle is found you can start infra-CONVERT now in a demo mode by clicking “Ignore” at the resulting error dialog.

• The menu entry “Drawing” got a new entry “Export DFD-File”. If infra-CONVERT was started by a CAQ-Software it was not possible in most cases to save a DFD-File, because the option was not selectable in the save dialog. Now it’s possible to save the Q-DAS® ASCII transfer format to import the files in other software.
• The options under “Feature” are now extended with “Special” for customer specific options, which are not relevant for most customers.
• New option under “Special”: It’s now possible to convert tolerances in the drawing from micrometer to millimeter.

• IGES drawings from NX8 where interpreted wrong. The new version recognizes IGES files from NX8 and will display them in the correct way.
• Infra-CONVERT now identifies drawing borders generated by some CAD software (like Pro/E and SolidEdge) and won’t set stamps on them anymore. To use this feature the border of the drawing has to be labeled starting with “A” and “1”, like “A1”.
• ProE does not export geometric tolerances as blocks when saving as DXF/DWG drawings. Therefore infra-CONVERT now searches for the symbols of geometric tolerances and combines them with following texts.
• If a feature gets the same stamp number after loading an old project version for revision, the stamp gets it’s original ID, so the import into a CAQ software recognizes the same stamp.
• If a newer version of a drawing is loaded via “Load old project version” the system now interprets the decimal point “.” or “,” as the same, because some software systems changes the decimal point via their export settings.
• For dongle users: The newest dongle driver of Wibu Systems is now integrated in our software.
• Since 11.7 an error occurred when importing DXF drawings regarding the use of color 257. This error is now corrected during the opening process.

• Corrected a bug when opening drawings with no data in their model space. The problem with the error message „Object was erased" when opening drawings is gone.

• It’s now possible to add stamps to PDF and graphic files without a dialogue box. To do so switch of „Show Quick Input dialogue“ and activate „Do not show Feature dialogue automatically“ in the options.
• The function „Load old project version“ was revised to better recognize text features within drawings.
• Better PDF import. Files are now rendered in better quality including a correction in color depth.
• The function „Rotate“ was revised for rotating PDF and graphic files in better quality.
• If the option „Monochrome-Mode“ is activated, Pictures and PDF files are imported in greyscale. Currently it’s not possible to switch back to color mode after import.
• The option „Format feature text“ was changed. It’s now possible to activate the option without setting the option „Generate features automatically“.
• Better selection of dimension in ME10 files.
• New option for users of the CAD system ME10 (CoCreate Drafting, Creo Elements/Direct Drafting 17.0). It’s now possible to set the path of DXFDWG.EXE of ME10 within Options / General. If the option is set it’s possible for infra - CONVERT to access *.MI files from it’s file open dialog.
• Hint: Due to limitations of the DXFDWG.EXE you have to export you *.MI files in ASCII format.

• The file association of infra - CONVERT files was broken. It’s now possible to open project files by double clicking them in the Explorer.
• Corrected a bug in the option „Do not show Feature dialogue automatically“ when opening PDF or graphic files.

• New class: “Theoretical dimension” Dimensions which are enclosed by a rectangle will be recognized as a theoretical dimension. General tolerances won’t be applyed to those dimensions. This function only works if the rectangle is defined as a dimension-block within the cad-drawing.
• New class: “Material” This class can be added manually while adding a feature.
• New function: “Special features” Dimensions which are enclosed by an oval will be recognized as a special feature. This function only works if the oval is defined as a dimension-block within the cad-drawing.
• New documentation Since version 11.5 the windows help is replaced by an online wiki, which can be opened by clicking “Online help” in the menu “?” (Help).
• New function: “Training videos” The menu entry “Training videos” under “?” (Help) opens a web browser to our website. There you find videos for all functions of infra - CONVERT. This videos replace the handbook and are the introduction to our software.
• New menu entry: “infra-CONVERT Online” This entry opens the webpage www.infra-convert.de in your web browser.

• In the past the quick entry dialogue was only accessible via PDF and graphics files. In Version 11.4.00 this dialogue is also displayed when features not directly connected to a drawing are entered.
• The “Show general \ PDF and graphics files \ quick entry dialogue” option has replaced “Show general \ quick entry dialogue” since this option is now also available for features unconnected to a CAD drawing.
• New Option: “Feature -> Chamfer”
• Chamfer can now be set either as an attributive or variable feature.
• New option: “Feature-> Angle dimensions”
• Angle dimensions can now be set either as an attributive or variable feature.
• New function: Previously the “Assign feature to current drawing view” (via features table) could only be used for a single feature. This function is now available when multiple features have been selected. This has the advantage that multiple features can be simultaneously assigned to a single section of the drawing.
• New option: “General -> PDF import parameter” - This setting page can be used to set the parameters for the import of PDF files. This is usually only necessary in exceptional cases, such as when a PDF file needs to be imported and the PC’s RAM is limited. In such cases reducing colour depth in the settings can help.
• Improved IGES interface: CAD producer, PTC, has changed the name of its software products. Pro/Engineer has become Creo Elements/Pro and ME10-Linie has changed to Creo Elements/Direct Drafting, with result that IGES files from this system now have new names. To ensure automatic error correction and adaptation functions properly when importing IGES files from this system a new version of the interface has been included in Version 11.4.00 of infra-CONVERT.

• The “Produce test plan \ graphics file \ graphics in B&W mode” option did not work as the error was in reading off the configuration file template.
• With Windows XP systems the programme windows was not correctly displayed when loading IGES files with no text or dimensions.
• The “Search all features” and “Area selection” functions sometimes produced variable results.
