There were a few more with the sketches Functions überarbeitet und auf den aktuellen Stand gebracht. Somit wurden die Bedienung aller Erzeugungsfunktionen der Skizzen auf den Selben Stand gebracht. Damit lassen sich die Elemente wesentlich einfacher erzeugen. Man sollte jedoch nicht vergessen, dass mit der “SHIFT” Taste sich die Maß Bedingungen deaktivieren lassen.
A few points have been expanded for the Split function. The preview has been expanded a lot so that you can see more quickly what the result looks like and what the original part was.
In the steel construction area, a further design variant (automatic steel construction connection) clamping plate has been expanded. This variant was requested by a large number of customers and was therefore also included in the connection catalog.
The workshop drawing has been extended so that if you delete sections which you do not need, they will not be restored during the update.
It is very often the case that in the case of automatic workshop drawing, the axonometry should be different from what the automatism provides. Now it is the case that if you manually adjust the axonometry in the drawing, this will be noted during the update. So you don't have to turn the axonometry again after changing the part. It's a small but extremely annoying point that has been eliminated.
In response to multiple customer requests, the isometry in the workshop drawing has now also been linked to the master (main) view. Of course, this only applies if there are several assemblies on one layout. This helps you to edit the drawings later if you have to move the views manually.
The first part of the new 3D part labeling was introduced in HiCAD 2022. Currently, this is only evaluated under the following point in the main version 2700.0. You can recognize it by the fact that if you want to move it using drag & drop, the text remains on the mouse. In the next versions, the labels will be exchanged one after the other in order to always achieve a consistent result.
You shouldn't be surprised because there is no visual difference between the old and the new lettering.
The pull-down menu for the labeling has also been adapted and brought up to the current status of the functions.
Up until now it was the case in the drawing management that if you also managed external production documents such as view drawings, sectional drawings, assembly drawings, etc., that they only ever received a consecutive and constant drawing number. This was changed in HiCAD 2022 so that you can now configure and set it individually for you. So you can set this as an example as follows.
Another point has been added in the help area so that you can go directly to the file center and upload your files to the ISD file center even more easily.
Again, a lot of performance topics were dealt with and a lot of work was done under the hood in order to accelerate HiCAD in certain cases. Since you can't just turn a screw here to accelerate the whole program at the push of a button, the system is always accelerated in small steps where we receive feedback from the customers. Here I will try to show you this using small examples.
In this example the same IFC file was imported with the different versions. You can clearly see here that such topics are not only optimized in a major version but also in a service pack.

Changing referenced parts is also always an important point, which also takes a lot of time. Two examples in HiCAD 2020 and HiCAD 2021 were also compared. It is important to note, however, that certain constructions cannot accelerate.

example 1 | 34 sec. | 17 sec. |
example 2 | 18 sec. | 10 sec. |
Deleting parts from referenced assemblies has also become faster in the 2700. The optimization is only relevant if the construction has a certain size (100k parts +) and the referenced assembly is built into the construction several times.

The performance of the element installation is perceived as problematic by various customers. However, this primarily applies to situations in which several / many element relocations are in a construction and one is changed.
With version 2700, the creation and modification of a routing has improved again, sometimes significantly. However, the improvement is differently pronounced in the individual examples.

Example 1 (83K pieces) | 5:40 | 1:40 |
Example 2 (240K pieces) | 4:59 | 3:31 |
Example 3 (8K parts) | 1:53 | 1:15 |
When there are many parts and many views in a design, particular problems arise. B. show when deleting sheets. This has also been accelerated many times over.
