Signing


The extended marking function in HiCAD now enables the marking of almost all surfaces, with the exception of cones, spheres and tori. For surfaces with a tangential transition, the marking continues over the rounding to the next edge, but not for cylinders. On edge plates, the marking is continued via tabs. In addition, markings can now also be created in the bending simulation.

Transform and repeat - Moving across layers


The new function in HiCAD allows you to move and simultaneously rotate the active object, which can be either an individual part or a parts list. After starting the function, first select a plane on the object and then a plane in your design. The transformation is carried out in such a way that the coordinate systems of both planes match. As soon as the construction plane has been defined, a preview shows the transformed part or parts list in its new position.
