1 CADISON Common

1.1 New function 1.1.1 Online error checking when changing tag number manually If a user changes a tagging number manually, CADISON will do an online error checking and give a message in case of duplicated tagging numbers.

1.1.2 Show catalogs as per project specific unit system. When user runs "Select allowed catalogs" command, the select catalog dialog is shown with list of all available catalogs. Previously, there is no option to filter it with current project unit system. Now from R15, this list can be filtered with current unit system by selecting new option "Showonly metric/imperial catalogs"(ont the basis of project unit) added at top of catalog list. Thus, user can see list of catalogs as per unit system and also do selection to set allowed catalogs.

1.1.3 Input Form Designer This is a new Application introduce in R15. User forms the new UI introduced in R13 which allows user to customize dialogs to simplify the UI. Earlier User has to manually create these forms in xml format. Now an interface application is created so that user can simply create dialog and darg and drop properties to show in dialog.

1.1.4 Revision creator and revision date attributes in drawings So far, the P_lastobjrevisionuser and P_lastobjrevisiondate attributes were available only available for documents and reports, but not for drawings. From this version onwards, the P_lastobjrevisionuser and P_lastobjrevisiondate properties are also created by CADISON for drawings (AutoCAD, Visio and isometric drawings). During revision, the main drawing receives these attributes; even the same values for the newly generated revision are taken. Thus, these attributes also behave the same way as for documents and reports.

1.1.5 Send documents directly as e-mail From this version onwards, the command Send as e-mail is available in context menu for documents, through which a new e-mail is generated and the selected file(s) are added as attachment. If a file, which has to be sent, is currently imported to database, then the file is automatically exported with a write-protection.

1.2 Change (of existing function) 1.2.1 Output in case of CCC-check If the objects to be checked are not found during CCC-check, a corresponding message will be displayed from this version onwards.

1.2.2 Option for activating old Tree-scroll function removed Since few years, CADISON has been using new scroll functions in CADISON Tree as well as in Matpipe-Tree in Open catalog, if the Tree should be automatically scrolled with Drag and Drop. The old scroll functions can

22.09.2015 8 / 53

Releasenotes R15

be further activated (with additional entries in CADISON.INI and MATPIPE.INI). The old scroll functions have been completely removed in this version.

1.2.3 Object name of files which are inserted by Drag and Drop If a file is stored from an external source in CADISON using Drag and Drop, then the property DESCRIPTION_1 of the newly created file is set same as file name. Till now, the file name including file extension was transferred.From this version onwards, only the file name will be stored in DESCRIPTION_1 property without file extension.The file name including file extension is now saved in the EXT_DRAWINGNO attribute.

1.2.4 Allocating catalog items to objects with sub-elements If an object has many sub-elements and there a catalog item is assigned, which also has many sub-elements, then the sub-elements cannot be found automatically, when there are many sub-elements of the same object type. Currently, the sub-elements can be found only through the type. But as soon as an object has several sub-elements of the same type, one receives a random result. The sub-elements are mostly not assigned as desired.From this version onwards, an allocation fo the objects to each other can be defined. For this, the object property SYNC_ID must be used. In case of the sub-elements in CADISON, the user can define a unique value for the SYNC_ID property. If the same SYNC_ID value is entered for the suitable sub-element in catalog item, then CADISON automatically finds the correct sub-element.

1.2.5 Re-calculation option for revising several objects If the sub-ordered objects are revised in CADISON with revision command and it contains reports there, then these reports are also updated / revised. If in addition, the CALCALWAYS=OFF and / or USE_CALCONDEMAND=1 setting is used, CADISON asks before updating a report, whether the objects should be re-calculated. This query appeared till now for every report to be updated. From this version onwards, the query dialog contains the option note answer, with which the answer can be saved for all reports to be updated. The answer is thus saved only for this complete revision process and then reset. For the next revision process, the query appears again.

1.2.6 Editing the graphic entry used in ObjectEdtior In ObjectEditor, there is a button All representation types, through which the graphic entries provided while selecting object can be shown and edited.From this version onwards, it is also possible to display and edit the graphic entry used by graphic representation. If the graphic properties tab is selected and then a graphic representation is selected in Tree and the All representation types button is clicked, then the graphic entry is shown, which is currently used by the selected graphic representation. In this way, it is possible to change this graphic representation.However, the text-representations (such as designations) cannot be shown or displayed.

1.2.7 Calculation of JOINTYPECALC_INT with JOINTYPE_EXn_INT changed While calculating JOINTYPECALC_INT, it was previously checked whether the JOINTYPE_EXn_INT property had some content. If yes, then this was used automatically instead of JOINTYPEn_INT.From this version onwards, JOINTYPEn_Exn_INT is used only for calculation of JOINTYPECALC_INT, if the JOINTYPE_EXn_INT property is not empty.In this way, problems are avoided if an object is assigned a new catalog item, which does not contain JOINTYPE_EXn-Property.

1.2.8 Using ghost script Previously, CADISON Ghostscript could be used, if this was installed on the computer. The Ghostscript installation routine registers the Ghostscript and finds CADISON Ghostscript via this registration. From this version onwards, it is possible to find Ghostscript via an entry in CADISON.INI. In section [ITF_PDF], a GS_DLL_ROOT entry is required here. This entry must point at main directory, where Ghostscript is installed. CADISON looks for Ghostscript in all sub-directories. Example: [ITF_PDF] GS_DLL_ROOT=D:\Program Files (x86)\gs. The version number must not be specified, so that CADISON can search all sub-directories.If a gsdll32.dll / gsdll64.dll is found in a sub-directory, then CADISON assumes that it refers to a Ghostscript. CADISON then no longer searches for Ghostscript via Registry-Entries Note: the gsdll32.dll / gsdll64.dll found must be present either as 32bit or as 64bit DLL as per CADISON. The use of a 32bit Ghostscript-DLL in a 64bit CADISON is technically not possible.

1.2.9 Displaying CADISON-Version number in Designer after updating with an Update

If an update for CADISON is installed, then several program files are replaced with new files. While starting a CADISON application, the version number of the program file is shown. Thus, it could happen that an incorrect version number was shown in Designer. From this version onwards, it was ensured that the version number of the Designer is always correctly shown.

1.2.10 Supporting Undo in Extra->Remove link From this version onwards, CADISON supports Undo-command for the context menu Extra->Remove link.

1.2.11 Filter for displaying ObjectManager adjusted in PID The filter for displaying ObjectManager has been adjusted in PID. [OM_ACAD_PHIEPID] #P&ID drawing

1.2.12 Identification of undefined values for units-properties The numerical value "999999999" in properties is interpreted as undefined by CADISON. In units-properties (such as length details, print details etc), the identification of such undefined values didnt work properly. Thus, this 999999999 was partly converted to another unit and then the converted numerical value was shown. From this version onwards, the identification of these undefined values work properly.

1.2.13 Invoking of Translation-Dialog with F2 with catalog entries and selection lists From R15 version onwards, it is possible to open the translation dialog with F2 for a property which comes from a catalog entry. Additionally now it is possible to use F2 in table with selection list properties (EDITABLE / QUICKEDIT).

1.2.14 SAP-Menu at Project-Object level Previously, the SAP menu was not available in context menu of the project. From this version onwards, a SAP context menu can also be defined for the project object.

1.2.15 Translating LFF-Properties with F2 If a LFF-property is edited in ObjectEditor / ObjectInspector, the translation function can be started there by pressing F2 key. Note: for this, first the property name must be selected. The LFF-editing mode is started when F2 key is pressed once. The LFF-dialog is opened. This must then be closed (with Cancel), and the LFF-property remains active. Now, press F2 key once again to open translation function.Previously, when the translation window opened, the current value of LFF-properties was not taken. From this version onwards, the current value of the LFF property is transferred to translation window, such that the dictionary entries can be filtered.

1.2.16 Setting the calculation date in pressure equipment module while classifying into Type.3 Sec.3

If while checking a pipeline in pressure equipment module (DGR), it was determined that a pipeline can be classified into Type.3 Sec.3, the classification date was not saved till now, and moreover it was noted that the data were invalid. From this version onwards, the calculation date is saved and noted that the data are valid.

1.2.17 Protocol for translation function The project translation function creates a log file at the end of translation, in which the non-translated entries are listed. Thereby, till now the non-translated entries were also shown, even if there was no target attribute for the translation.For example, the default configuration 2Languages.cts always translates the P_name-Attribut to the PNAME_INT-Attribut. A CAD drawing however has no PNAME_INT-Attribut. Since the P_name-Attribut contains the file name in a CAD drawing, which is not given in dictionary, the file is shown as non-translated text. But since there is no PNAME_INT-Zielattribut, in which the translation could be entered, it doesnt make any sense to show this text as cannot be translated. So from this version onwards, the text which cannot be translated is shown only in the log file, if the target attribute exists.

1.2.18 Create task container from table on the basis of individual object Till now, the context menu command Create task container (and also create task container for user) is only available in the table, if at least two objects have been selected. From this version onwards, the command is also available in simple object selection.

1.2.19 Filtering the available graphic entries in ObjectManager If the available graphics are shown in the lower right area of a template object in ObjectManager, then all graphics were shown earlier, irrespective of which drawing type and which graphic type is currently selected in ObjectManager. In most cases, it is however better that only those graphics are shown, which correspond to the graphic settings made in ObjectManager. In ObjectManager, the new option Filter available graphics is now implemented in View drop-down menu. If this option is selected, then the available graphics are filtered. If the option is not selected, then all available graphics are shown as usual. The selected setting is saved in Windows-Registry, so that the setting is re-established when the software is automatically started next time.

1.2.20 Optimal column width feature The Optimum Optimal column width feature in context menu of a column width considers the column title text as well as the text in the individual lines. From this version onwards, it is also possible to disable CADISON from considering the column title while calculating the optimum column widths.

Releasenotes R15

To enable this option, a new variable was implemented in CADISON.INI. CADISON now evaluates following new entry in [PHi-CADISON] section: COLWIDTH_IGNORE_TITLE=ON If this entry is available, the title of the column is no longer used for calculating the column width. However, a minimum width of 15 pixels will always be used, so that the selection list can still be clicked in column title.

1.2.21 Removing an object link with Drag and Drop in Tree Till now it was not possible to remove an object link in CADISON project using a Drag and Drop Operation. If for example, an imported document under a document group is moved to project object using Drag and Drop and left there, the document link to document group would be removed. Thus, it was not possible to use drag and drop for assigning documents directly to the project and removing from document groups. From this version onwards, an object link is removed, if a sub-object is moved to the project object and left it there. Thus, apart from moving the object, the object to be sub-ordered directly in Tree is determined. Then, the object link for this object is removed. Note: The documents must be imported in order to remove documents of this type from document groups.

1.2.22 Change document / issue state in cancelled revision If you start the commands Set document state and Set issue state from the workflow menu, the dialog for creating a document revision opens. The dialog provides the option of creating a revision, not creating a revision or cancelling the process. Previously, the cancelling only referred to the revision creation, not to setting the document / issue state. From this version onwards, the process of setting the document / issue state for the current document is cancelled, if the Cancel button is used in the revision dialog, or if the dialog is closed with ESC-key or with close button in the dialog bar.

1.2.23 Wiring list report template removed The Wiring list report template has been removed from CADISON Installation.

1.3 Bugfix 1.3.1 Fixed issue in createPDF function With some versions of ghost script PDF creation was failing with error Converting a PostScript file to PDF file failed this is fixed.Also Bookmarks in pdf is modified to show only filename instead of Path.

1.3.2 Fixed issue with Report template path If you move a report template to another folder or rename it while Engineer is opened and then try to re-create the appropriate report, an error message is appears.In the error message, however, is not the path of the report template displayed, but the path of the report in the project. This is rectified.

1.3.3 Title for Reassign Drawing... file selection dialog In previous versions, the file selection dialog title in Reassign drawing function contained a German text. From this version onwards, the title is shown according to the active CADISON language.

1.3.6 Memory error in Drag and Drop in Tree If a Drag and Drop process is started in CADISON, then a so-called Memory-Leak was generated. This error is rectified in this version.

1.3.7 Updating property list in ObjectInspector/-Editor while changing dynamic properties

If a property is changed in ObjectInspector or in ObjectEditor and as a result, the number of properties is changed (i.e. dynamic properties are enabled or removed), the property list is not updated correctly. Some of the new properties do not appear and there are empty lines for the hidden properties. This error is rectified in this version.

1.3.8 Changing a file name with button If a file is imported and its filename is edited, then CADISON shows a button. If this is clicked, a file selection dialog appears, where the user can select another existing file.

1.3.9 Eliminating 0 decimal points Should 0-decimal points be prevented from being displayed, the property formatting @## is used. When # is used, CADISON eliminates the decimal points if it is equal to 0. Instead of 3.00 h, 3 h is shown. However, this did not work when the German region settings were not set in the operating system. If for e.g. the region settings were set to German (Switzerland), then the decimal was also displayed, such that one got 3.h. From this version onwards, the decimal is prevented correctly, irrespective of the region setting used.

1.3.10 Name for MPDOCUFILE catalog property is missing Earlier, no name was displayed for the MPDOCUFILE object property. From this version onwards, this property is shown with the name MATPIPE data sheet file.

1.3.12 Crash while accessing Selector after using certain functions If the Selector is used in CADISON, and then the CCC-check is used or the article data are saved in a catalog by using CADISON ERP-interface, it could lead to a crash, if the Selector was used again. This error is rectified.

1.3.13 Checking opened files while updating reports If a file has to be opened or updated / revised, CADISON checks, whether the file is currently accessed by another user and does not perform action, if need be. However, if the corresponding file is opened without CADISON (e.g. directly from Word or Excel), the file was available from CADISON view. The corresponding process (e.g. revision of a report) was not carried out further. This then led to problems, if the document had to be saved at the end of the processes. From this version onwards, CADISON identifies whether a file is accessed outside CADISON or not.

1.3.14 Memory error after using translation dialog with F2 If the support function is used with F2-key in CADISON and a text is selected in translation dialog, a memory error could occur. This memory error is rectified in this version.

1.3.15 Large logical.log file while using Global Project Insert In some situations, it may happen that using Global Project Insert function increases the size of the logical.log-file in database-directory of the corresponding project database. This issue is now resolved in this version.

1.3.16 Reset SAP-data fields after editing an object If an object is edited in an input form and the process is aborted (e.g. via cancel button), then some SAP data fields had been reset. This error is now rectified in this version.

1.3.22 Removing subordinate document groups If a subordinate document group is removed from its superior document group (e.g. through Extra->Remove link), the removed document group is directly assigned under the project. Previously it was not checked whether there a document group already existed at project level, which uses the same directory name. From this version onwards, CADISON checks whether the directory name is already in use. If yes, then a counter is attached to the directory name in the document group, whose link was removed.

1.3.23 Table is scrolled leftwards in activated splitter If the splitter is enabled in a table, the table is scrolled rightwards and then a field at the right of the splitter is edited, it could happen that the table was scrolled completely to the left and no longer displayed properly.

3.1 New function 3.1.1 Report query wizard Report query contains many sub-sections separated by semicolon (;). Each section may contain many key-words & internal object class names which separated by comma (,) or colon(:) . Considering these complex query structure, new wizard is implemented where user can form query through select various options on dialog. A new command "Report query wizard " is created. In wizard, mainly 3 pages are provided where on first page user can give minimum parametres required for executing query.On second page, he can provide some filters to get specific type of result objects.And, on final page he can specify property filter to get result objects with some specific values.After executing query, user can get result in modeless table dialog. So, User can able to see multiple result window and also able to compare results. Also, there is another options to enter query manually or paste from other source is given. The entered query settings can be populated automatically on the wizard if syntax of query is correct.

3.1.2 Expansion in Organize project In this version, the Organize project function is extended with a new option. It is now possible to automatically allocate multiple objects on the basis of an object property. Thus, for example, it is possible to sub-allocate several documents automatically to any number of objects using Organize project.

3.2 Change (of existing function) 3.2.1 Editing the object types displayed in ObjectManager In Project Engineer, the Extras->Settings->Set object filter command lets you set the object types to be displayed for various commands. Previously, it was however also not possible to define the object types to be displayed for the ObjectManager through this command. This filter had to be entered manually in the appropriate ContextFilter.cfg configuration file. From this version onwards, it is possible to also edit this filter with the command, whereby the ObjectManager-Filter with the OM_ACAD_ entry. Since the ObjectManager-Filter doesnt support BlackList, selecting such an entry deactivates the relevant controls in the dialog.

4.1 New function 4.1.1 Continue line command Continue line command in Designer allows to continue objects having line type representation. Example of such objects are cables, signal lines, effective lines etc. Note: Pipe runs of pipe lines still has to be continued with command "Continue Pipeline".

4.1.2 MPL Style Definitions in Imperial units 1) New MPL Style Defination files are created for Imperial units.2) The standard Offset value between lines is 1/16" (0.062500") or its multiple for wider lines or linetypes.3) BYBLOCK Color Properties are retained.4) First time User may need to load Linetypes from CADISON.LIN file.

4.1.3 Sheet management: Create Index sheet The new feature sheet management is added to improve the handling of the drawings in document group. Now, user can create index sheet under document group which contains the information of all the sheets present in the document group. It creates multiple index tables within multiple layouts of same drawing, if number of drawings in document group are more and one layout table can required to cover all the drawing details. The index sheet can be filled with details by invoking "Designate to block" command where User has to select the"Index sheet" default object from object manager. Command will ask for selecting rectangle inside paper space to specify index sheet height and position, then command automatically creates index sheet tables to fit the details and also creates layouts if not available.It also does same settings of border and title block inside newly created layout as per the first layout.The other feature is that the index sheet can be updated automatically if there is any change happens on document group. Also, user can manually update index sheet by selecting "Update Index sheet" command added at Cadison->Common Designation menu group.

4.1.4 Selection in dockable Tree updates dockable ObjectInspector If the Automatic selection option is selected in dockable tree, then the object is automatically selected in Tree, which is currently shown in dockable ObjectInspector.

Releasenotes R15

In object context menu in Designer, the Copy graphic to command is now available. With this command, the graphics can be transferred from one object to another object. With the help of this command, it is possible for e.g. to transfer the graphics of a dynamic symbol to a normal symbol, and add a dynamic graphic also to the target object. In target objects, the command deletes all graphic entries, which are suitable for the current drawing type (representation) and which use a BLOCK-graphic. Other graphic entries are not deleted. From the original object, only the graphic entries, which are suitable for the current drawing-representation type and which use a BLOCK-graphic type, are copied.

4.2 Change (of existing function) 4.2.1 Messages regarding XRefs to be updated while loading a drawing If a drawing is loaded in Designer, which contains XRefs and this has not been updated, then a message appears stating that these XRef-drawings must be updated. This message appeared for every XRef-drawing to be updated. In addition, the process of checking XRef-drawings was also carried out twice, such that the message was shown twice. From this version onwards, apart from OK, the message dialog also shows the button All OK. If this is pressed, CADISON does not show any further messages while checking the remaining XRef-drawings. The drawings to be updated are shown in CADISON.ERR. For batch-processing Create PDF and DWG NeutralExport, a message is shown for the drawing, which is opened first. For the remaining drawings, the message is shown only for one drawing, if necessary and can then be suppressed for the following drawings.

4.2.2 Adjusted texts inCopy & Paste If the CTRL+C (COPYCLIP) is opened in AutoCAD, CADISON asks for the copy options Graphic, Objects or None. The texts in the dialog have been extended, such that it is easy to understand which option should be selected.

4.2.3 Exchange Graphic Representation function does not transfer property assignment

When a block graphic is replaced by another with the Exchange Graphic Representation command, the property assignment provided while selecting graphic representations are not transferred. As a result, the exchanged block graphic does not respond to changes in the database, which should have been transferred graphically. From this version onwards, the Exchange Graphic Representation command also transfers the property assignments of the selected graphic representations.

4.2.4 Wrongly aligned attributes after automatic graphic exchange If a PID graphic is exchanged with the help of automatic graphic exchange (dynamic blocks), then the attributes of the re-inserted blocks were not aligned correctly. Depending on the alignment of the symbol, it is necessary to change the text alignment of the attribute. This re-alignment doesnt work in case of automatically exchanged graphics. Even a manual re-alignment through Standard Text Layout didnt work. From this version onwards, the attributes are correctly aligned while inserting the graphics.

4.2.5 Extended Dialog Copy objects In this version, a new Copy Object(s) dialog has been created. If the objects are copied from the drawing in Designer, then the Copy-function responds differently.

On one hand, the required superior objects are determined automatically. Thus, it is no longer necessary to select the main pipeline while copying a complete pipeline. Moreover, all components cannot be copied automatically. All components that have MADE_BY-Property are copied only if these components have also been selected in the graphic from the copy-operation. The copy operations, which could not be initiated from the graphic, but from the table or Tree, works normally like in previous versions.

4.2.6 Designating document groups If in Designer, a document group is named, it caused several problems in CADISON. As a result, neither the drawing nor the document group was shown after creating the designation. This error is rectified in this version.

4.2.7 Cadison Quick Purge Command should clear the unused AutoCAD groups also.

Cadison provided command "Quick Purge". In addition to AutoCAD built in purge this commands does some more clean up of unused Cadison specific data. This command was not removing unused AutoCAD groups. These unused(empty) AutoCAD groups can get created in Cadison when objects like Steel Assembly, Secondary Support, Tanks etc are deleted from drawing. Now this command is enhanced to clear the unused(empty) AutoCAD groups also.

4.2.8 Grid Size change to 1/4 in DWT 1) Drawing Template file (.DWT) are updated with GRID size = 1/4" for 2D drawings. 2) Snap size = 1/8", remains the same, as in R14.1 3) This works well with the existing Imperial symbols and new symbols 4) No changes are required for existing Imperial symbol library available in R14.1

4.2.9 Improvement to Cadison explorer command options format In recent AutoCAD versions there is different way to show command arguments. E.g. [option1 option2 option3] : New mechanism has following advantages 1.User can select option using mouse click 2.These options are available in context menu also Cadison explorer is modified to use these command option format. In case of multiple default options format used is [option1 option2 option3] :different way to show command arguments. E.g.

On one hand, all objects containing graphics in this drawing as well as in others are removed from the sub and superior objects. To delete the objects having graphics in current drawing, the user must now select this graphically. Moreover, all components cannot be deleted automatically. All components that have graphics in other drawings can no longer be deleted. These components must now be deleted from the other drawing. The delete operations, which could not be initiated from the graphic, but from the table or Tree, works normally like in previous versions.

4.2.12 New graphic standards From this version onwards, CADISON provides the following new graphic standards: - JIC - IEEE - NFPA

4.2.13 Exchange Graphic Representation removes Actual-standard-graphic entry from all other graphic entries

The Exchange graphic representation sets the identification Actual-standard-graphic entry in case of newly added graphic representation (graphic entry). At the same time, the function removes this identification from all other existing graphic entries. Thus, the graphic key of the re-inserted graphic representation have not been considered so far. As a result, the Actual-standard-graphic entry is removed even in graphic entries, which use another graphic key (e.g. Installation plan instead of PID). With this version, Exchange graphic representation removes just the Actual-standard-graphic entry identification from graphic entries, which use the same graphic key as the new graphic representation. Thus, the graphic representations for other drawing types remain unaffected.

4.2.14 Incomplete graphic entries while inserting new objects While inserting new objects in a drawing, it can occur during data errors in project database that not all graphic entries are made while inserting objects again. So, it may happen that single graphic entries are missing in the object. The problem triggered through structure error in the project database, which can be corrected with a CLEAN option in ITFTOOLS. From this version onwards, CADISON determines if this problem occurs while inserting new objects and automatically carries out a cleaning and correction of internal structures, so that all graphic entries for the new object are considered.

4.2.15 Display Audit Drawing dialog while opening drawings From this version onwards, the Audit Drawing dialog in Designer is controlled differently. If the dialog appeared till now while opening a drawing, not all functions were available, since the drawing was not completely initiated in AutoCAD and not all AutoCAD functions were still available. From this version onwards, the drawing check is carried out internally at a later point of time, when the required AutoCAD-functionalities are already available. Thus, from this version onwards, all options can be used while opening the dialog. In addition, the dialog is no longer shown if a drawing is opened during a batch-processing. Possible batch-processing are: - Update batch - Plot batch - PDF Export - DWG NeutralExport Moreover, from this version onwards, the drawing check sets the new drawing attribute DRAWINGCHECK_REQUIRED (Drawingcheck required). If the drawing is in order, this attribute is set to 0 (No), in case of errors, the attribute is automatically set to 1 (Yes).

Even during batch-processing, this attribute is set in case of opened drawings. Thus, it can also be identified from the Project Engineer, whether the drawing check should be executed in a drawing or not.

4.2.16 Move newly created symbols to origin If a new symbol is created with the Symbol Editor and thus a new DWG is generated for storing the selected graphic, then the graphic was not moved to origin, but the graphic remained at the same place. In addition, the AutoCAD variable INSBASE created in DWG was set to the selected insert point. Thus, during insert, AutoCAD later knew which is insert point/ zero point of the DWG-file. From this version onwards, the graphic is moved to the zero point in the generated DWG-file and the INSBASE-variable is set to 0/0/0 in the drawing.

4.2.17 Context menu in AutoCAD-Variable SNAPGRIDLEGACY=1 If the SNAPGRIPDLEGACY=1 variable is set in AutoCAD, in most situations, the CADISON context menu is not always opened, if the CADISON graphic was opened. From this version onwards, the context menu is opened safely.

4.3 Bugfix 4.3.1 Fixed defect in selection of polygonal or cliped viewportFixed defect in

selection of polygonal or cliped viewport Command Zoom VP to meet scale, Fix VP, Fit Dim style to scale,Representation with centre lines and other layer related commands was not working on clipped viewport, these commands now support clipped VP.

4.3.2 Error message Unhandled Exception in Designer.arx while opening a drawing

In some cases, while opening a drawing, an Unhandled Exception in Designer.arx error message appears, if the drawing contains data errors, which were not corrected with drawing check or one of the database-cleaning functions. From this version onwards, CADISON checks for corresponding data errors, so that the error message does not appear anymore.

4.3.3 Symboleditor uses incorrect size for insert point block in inch-drawings If in a drawing, in which the unit system is set to imperial (inch), an insert point is inserted via the define insert point function from the CADISON menu Create new symbols, the block representing the insert point was previously inserted with an incorrect scaling. In comparison to the connection point blocks, the insert point block shown was too small. From this version onwards, the insert point block is correctly scaled, such that it uses the same size as the blocks for the connection points.

4.3.4 Wrongly inserted revision lines in automatically created drawings In Designer, there are functions for automatic creation of drawings, such as Terminal strip drawings, Hookup drawing for secondary pipe support, etc. In these automatically generated drawings, the drawing borders as well as title blocks are inserted. But if the function for inserting revision lines were used, the revision lines were inserted at a wrong place. This error has been rectified.

4.3.5 Duplication of file names while copying objects in Designer If an object is graphically copied in Designer and this object contains a subordinate document, which is also copied, then the copied document gets the same file name as the original document. This error is rectified, from this version onwards, a unique file name is specified for the copied document, in which a counter is automatically attached.

4.3.6 Copying AutoCAD graphics, which contain a dynamic block If an AutoCAD-drawing contains a dynamic block and this is copied using CTRL+C and CTRL+V along with other CADISON elements, it may happen that the pasted CADISON elements have no connection to database anymore. Thus, one receives only the pure AutoCAD graphic and not the complete CADISON objects anymore. This error is rectified in this version. Note: The use of dynamic AutoCAD-blocks is not completely released in CADISON. In some situations, the use of dynamic AutoCAD blocks may lead to more problems.

4.3.7 Space-bar key for placing objects ends the command If CADISON-Explorer is used for placing objects, there is an option of switching to another connection point by pressing space-bar key. From AutoCAD 2013 onwards, AutoCAD however changes the input focus from drawing window to AutoCAD command line. If a space-bar is pressed second time, the AutoCAD command line evaluates the input. Since a space-bar in the command line is treated as pressing enter key, the command ends thereupon. From this version onwards, after pressing space-bar, the input focus of CADISON automatically shifts again to the graphic window of AutoCAD, such that when the space-bar is pressed again, it is again evaluated by the graphic window and thus, by CADISON Explorer. Thus, the command doesnt end anymore, if the space-bar key is pressed several times.

4.3.8 Unreadable characters displayed while creating cable trays Previously, when a cable tray is created with the function Create a cable tray along a centerline, some messages displayed in AutoCAD command line were not readable. From this version onwards, these messages no longer appear in the command line.

4.3.9 AutoCAD-Variable EXPERT changes with next drawing / previous drawing If the Next drawing and Previous drawing commands are used, the setting for the AutoCAD-Variable EXPERT is altered in the drawing, in which these commands were invoked. This error has been fixed in this version.

4.3.10 Unnecessary error message during Open Next Drawing command avoided When "Open Next Drawing" command is executed in the drawing which is last in the document group of project then it displays appropriate message "No next drawing available.". However along with that it use to display unnecessary message "ERROR: getCommandArgument FAILED" on AutoCAD command prompt. Now this unnecessary message will not appear.

4.3.11 Inconsistencies in synchronize dialog logic

22.09.2015 25 / 53

Releasenotes R15

Existing logic had some inconsistencies which decide if any object is a. already placed in current drawing or current type of drawing. b. Object cannot be placed in current type of drawing because it doesn't have suitable graphic c. Object can be placed in current type of drawing but not placed. These inconsistencies were mainly due to handling of "standards" in graphic setting and also fact that in Cadison drawing it is possible to change the graphic setting after some objects are placed in it. All these inconstencies are addressed with revised logic.

4.3.12 Cancelling in copy-dialog for Save as If a copy of the drawing is created with Save as in Designer, the CADISON copy-dialog is opened. Even though the Cancel button is disabled in this dialog and there was no Close button in the title list, it was previously possible to close the dialog with ESC key. But since the copy-action cannot be cancelled, the copy operation was then run with the copy dialog settings. From this version onwards, it is ensured that the copy-dialog can no longer be closed with Save as by pressing ESC key.

4.3.13 Crash while using CADISON Explorer Option A If option A was used twice in CADISON-Explorer, then the Designer hangs and must be ended via Task manager. This error is rectified.

4.3.14 Graphics missing while inserting construction sets If a construction set is inserted and the construction set for an object constitutes of an object graphic as well as a text mask, it might have happened, that either the object graphic or the text mask was removed after insert. This error is rectified.

4.3.15 Editing deleted objects in Designer If an object is clicked or edited in a CADISON Tree, then CADISON checks, whether the element has been deleted in a multiple-user environment. If CADISON determines that the object has been deleted, then CADISON shows the message The object has been deleted in another application. This test was not conducted earlier in Designer, if either the CADISON context menu was opened on a graphic, or if the ObjectInspector was updated. From this version onwards, the test is conducted also from these functions, whether the object was possibly deleted by another user. If yes, then the message is shown there and the process is interrupted.

4.3.16 Undesired database objects after using UNDO If in AutoCAD or in Visio, the UNDO command from AutoCAD / Visio is used, the individual unwanted database objects could be generated. This error has been rectified.

4.3.17 Crash in AutoCAD 2014 after using Open drawing and closing the drawings In AutoCAD 2014, if other drawings were opened with Open drawing, it could lead to a crash and other currently loaded drawings were closed, without opening these drawings earlier, or if the active drawing is closed. This error has now been resolved.

4.3.18 Issue of Unable to open the NamedObjectsDictionary while changing graphic key

If the graphic key of the current drawing is changed in Designer via the dockable ObjectManager, the "Unable to open the NamedObjectsDictionary" message was shown on the AutoCAD command line and the setting was not saved in the drawing. From this version onwards, the setting is correctly saved and the message doesnt appear anymore.

4.3.19 Problems with duplicate objects and incorrect connections while usingCopy & Paste

If an object having an external connection, is copied into AutoCAD with Copy & Paste and inserted, it could lead to various problems. If the Graphic option was used, then the object having the external connection was copied again. Irrespective of whether the Graphic or Object option is used, it could happen that the position of the original external connection changed, if the graphic was inserted in the same drawing. Both errors are rectified in this version.

4.3.20 AutoCAD Undo after exchanging a dynamic symbol and assigning a catalog item

In case of certain object changes, CADISON automatically exchanges the graphic to a drawing. If for e.g. in a dynamic symbol, the property is changed, which defines the symbol to be used, then the graphic that was placed already is exchanged automatically. Even in case of a 3D element, which contains the graphic through a parameterized catalog item, the graphic is automatically changed, if another catalog item is assigned to the object. If after the automatic graphic exchange, the AutoCAD command Undo is used, the graphic elements in the drawing lose their allocation to the CADISON objects. A subsequent drawing check reports the corresponding graphics as error. From this version onwards, the AutoCAD-command Undo is handled correctly after a graphic exchange, so that no allocation is lost.

4.3.21 Fixed issue in Merge object When using the CADISON Function Merge objects, if you delete the graphical representation, of the merged element, the Database Object was still having connection to the drawing. The connection is deleted when deleting the graphical representation.

5.1 Change (of existing function) 5.1.1 Using Set as default status for a status already marked as default If the command Set as default status... is used in user administration for a project status-object and this project status is already defined as standard status, then no other action is performed. From this version onwards, the identification that is set as default status is removed for all other project status-objects, which are assigned the same user role.

5.1.2 Adjustments for layer for steel structure groups and secondary support

For better layout control in Designer, the Layer prefix for and Layer name properties have been added in the Steel structure and sec. support object classes in object model. The layer name is then further passed on to subordinate steel beams.

5.1.3 Opening dockable dialogs simultaneously Previously, only a few dockable dialogs could be opened simultaneously. In many cases, a dockable dialog must be closed only before another could be opened. This has now been changed: 1. Now all dockable dialogs can be opened simultaneously. Closing another dialog beforehand is no longer required. Dockable dialogs are basically combined to active drawing while opening in Visio. If now several drawings are opened, then the opened dialog had to be previously closed manually and opened again manually opened in the newly activated drawing. This is now no longer required. If a drawing is opened or created again or converted to another drawing, then all opened dockable dialogs are closed automatically and opened again in active drawing automatically.

5.1.4 Marking the active project status In the user administration, there is an entry Set as default status in context menu of a project status. From this version onwards, the entry is tick-marked when the project status is already set as default status. As a result, it is obvious which project status is defined as default status.

5.1.5 Source reference uses P_name asmarker Previously a cross-reference in CADISON always used the P_name (object name) object property for finding linked cross-references. Thus, the P_name property was for cross-references with cross-reference marker. On one hand, the naming of P_name-property with cross-reference marker is confusing, if other objects are shown in a table, in which the P_name-property is translated with object name. On the other hand, there was no option for giving a meaningful name to a cross-reference in ObjectManager. So, from this version onwards, the cross-reference has the new attribute MARKERNAME, which denotes cross-reference marker. P_name is now denoted with Object name. The linked cross-references can now be located via MARKERNAME property. Note: It is now mandatory to update the old data with the current object model; else the cross-references there can no longer be linked by CADISON automatically.

5.2 Bugfix 5.2.1 Fixed issue with Global scale settings In a PID if global scale is set to 0.5 and dynamic symbol for straight valve is placed then if we change the TYPECLASS of valve then the scale factor of new symbol is further reduced to 0.25 (0.5*0.5). Every time we change symbol the scale factor is reduced.

5.2.2 Changes are not made in task container If the name, description or the comments in a task container window are changed and the window-close-control is clicked, the change was not saved, as long as the input mark blinked in the input line. This error is rectified in this version.

5.2.4 Fixed issue in Cross references If for CREF "Search mode for cross-references" (CREFMODE) property is set to 'Search in drawing' and if there is scenario that CREF is attached as subobject to a object which is placed in multiple drawings (CSET) there was issue creating cross references.

5.2.5 Representation of flow direction arrows in inch-drawings In PID based on imperial units, the flow direction arrows were shown too small. From this version onwards, the flow direction arrows are shown correctly.

5.2.6 Directory while loading and saving MPL-styles If the Load style or even Save style function is used in MPL-dialog, then CADISON opens a file selection dialog. Previously, this didnt always show the same directory, in which the MPL-styles are stored. From this version onwards, the file selection dialog automatically shows the directory, where the MPL-styles are stored by default.

5.2.7 Speed of automatic system tree update in RELEASE_SYS_OBJECTS=1 If the quick release of System Tree is activated in CADISON.INI (through the RELEASE_SYS_OBJECTS=1setting), it could have lead to performance loss in automatic tree update. From this version onwards, it is ensured that the performance through this setting is no longer influence.

5.2.8 Unwanted graphic exchange while updating PI drawings In some situations, it may occur that the individual symbols were automatically replaced by other symbols in a PI-drawing. This unwanted graphic exchange is done with data error. In some objects, several possible graphic entries are defined for an object, but only one graphic entry is given by Default. However, in this error case, several graphic entries were marked as default. Normally, CADISON is in a position to identify and clean this error. In such a case, the graphic entry used by the already placed graphic is checked, and only this graphic entry is set to default. In case of other graphic entries, the default identification is removed. With this update, CADISON checks whether the supposed currently used graphic entry is also actually used by the graphic placed. The placed graphic contains the P_blockfilename property, which indicates, on which block is the graphic based. In the supposedly used graphic entry, it is then checked, whether this uses the same block name. If not, the graphic entry is searched, which uses this block name, and only this is set as default graphic entry and this is then also assigned to the placed graphic. The same test is carried out now even if there is no single graphic entry set as default in an object. Still then it is checked, whether the graphic entry currently used is also the actual entry, which can be identified via P_blockfilename.

In some measuring points, the fourth connection point, which lies on the right of symbol, was defined incorrectly. The connection used the Y-axis as connection direction instead of X-axis. The relevant symbols are corrected in this version.

5.2.10 Automatic loading of MPL styles If a new pipe route is drawn and this uses a MPL-style, normally the MPL-styles required by CADISON are automatically loaded. Previously, this used to not work, if the MPL-style requires an AutoCAD-line style, which is currently not loaded. Then, CADISON didnt generate MPL-styles, but a normal AutoCAD 2D-polyline. From this version onwards, the required AutoCAD line type is automatically reloaded (if available).

5.2.11 Create visible Pipe Crossings command not working in inch-drawings If an AutoCAD-drawing uses an imperial unit (inch), the Create visible Pipe Crossings command wasnt working properly. The number entered was not converted correctly to inches. Moreover, the command showed the unit mm instead of inch. From this version onwards, mm is shown for metric drawings and inch for imperial drawings and used for further calculation.

5.2.12 Fixed issue in DWG neutral export of MPL lines. After neutral exports of drawing having MPL lines, MPL gaps (jumpers) were placed at different positions with wrong orientation. This issue is fixed.

5.2.13 DWG Neutralexport asks for login details If the DWG Neutralexport is opened, a new Designer is started to run the Export. This again asks for a CADISON-Login. From this version onwards, the newly started Designer automatically takes the Login of the CADISON application, from which it was started.

5.2.14 Undesired graphic exchange while opening a drawing In some cases, it may happen that while opening a 2D drawing, a placed symbol was replaced through another symbol. This could happen, if the object has several graphic definitions for the current drawing type, then none of these is set to default graphic entry. From this version onwards, in such situation, the graphic entry used from the placed graphic is considered as default graphic entry for the object.

5.2.15 Fixed issue with attributes of type List from file in Legend. Fixed issue with attribute of type List from file in Legend. When user modifies config file for legend to show an attribute of type LFF, only row number was getting displayed in legend box instead of value. Fixe this to display actual value of attribute.
