Administration

New Functions

Upgrade of ERP-interface

ERP-interface in CADISON was upgraded in some areas. On one hand, CADISON candistinguish between stock and special components when deleting and modifying. Inaddition to this, processing of storno-objects is has been upgraded and the contextmenu commands of ERP-transfer commands can be dynamically adapted to properties ofindividual objects.

Function Changes

Upgrade for "Import auxiliary object model"

In R9, an upgrade for "Import auxiliary object model" has been integrated. For thisversion, ITFTOOLS have been correspondingly upgraded so that the option -updateprjdbalso supports the functionality of importing and auxiliary object model. With this, thepreviously used auxiliary object models are automatically imported again using"UpdateDbs" at the time of updating.

Since "UpdateDbs" is used primarily for a CADISON-update and data, which is entered bythe user, cannot be reset in any case for this purpose, further adaptations are carriedout. Generally, it is asked at the time of use of "Import auxiliary object model" whetherthe existing values are to be reset to default values. If this option is answered with"Yes", then the properties for the available object are reset to the default values, as theyare defined in the auxiliary object model.

At the time of next update of project database, the previously used auxiliary objectmodel is automatically imported again, whereby the same option is used as the one usedat the time of first import of auxiliary object model. When using "UpdateDbs" (orITFTOOLS -updateprjdb) the option "Reset existing values to default" is ignored.

Bugfixes

#26206Crash when converting the databases with English CADISON

If CADISON is switched to English (or has been installed in English) and the command forconverting the database is used, then the conversion program used to crash at the workstep 3. This error has been eliminated.

Problems when importing P_articlegraphicentries properties in DEF-files

If DEF-files are imported and the property P_articlegraphicentries is specified in this,then could occur that the internal definition of P_articlegraphicentries has been changedwhen importing the DEF-file so that functional restrictions could arise in CADISON. Theerror when importing DEF-files has been eliminated.

#25857Error in ow_ArticleManager when cleaning the databases usingITFTOOLS

When cleaning the databases using a CLEAN-option of ITFTOOLS, internal object of thetype ow_ArticleManager is checked. It could happen previously that an error wasreported for this object, which could not be cleaned. Thereby, the ow_ArticleManagerobject was issued. Starting from this version, ow_ArticleManager can be correctlycleaned.

Object Model

Function Changes

Inheritance of graphical information from medium to the pipeline bydefault

In CADISON R10, the following change is carried out in object model PHI-AN for theobject class "Pipeline" [PHI-PLIN]:

Graphical information (CAD colour number, CAD line width), which is entered in themedium, is no more inherited as fixed value to the pipeline. Starting from R10, theinheritance is done "by default" and can be thereby changed in the pipeline. Thefollowing attributes are changed:

CAD colour number [GEOM_COL]New default value: $FORMULA=LINKABLE=PHI-MEDI:PHI-MEDC.GEOM_COL$Inherit the selection list from medium:1%rot:2%gelb:3%grün:4%cyan:5%blau:6%magenta:7%weiß

Additional connection points in case of reducer

In the configuration file an_conn.cpd, it was defined for a reducer in the previousversions that the connection point "1" is of type VCS-CP01 and all the other connectionnumbers are of type VCS-CPSY (symbolic connection). Starting from this version, all theother connection numbers are of type VCS-CPLC (logical connection).

#22048Extension of object models air condition and Commercial Extension

The air condition module was not taken into consideration in Commercial Extension in theprevious versions. Both the object models are adapted in R10 and transferred to our newformat:

Property TEXT_SHORT is added to the object model air condition. Object classes of the ducting system are included in the object model Commercial

Extension and are extended with the standard properties of CXT.

CADISON R10.0 Release Notes

Change in the object model Ducting system

It is now possible to assign insulation thickness (INSU_THICK) for the object classducting system (IFT-DSYS) similar to the mechanism for pipelines. This insulationthickness is inherited to the duct components as default value. The value of insulationthickness can be later changed manually for duct parts allocated to the ducting system. Furthermore, it is possible to assign an insulation material (INSU_MAT) to the objectclass ducting system. This information is inherited to the duct components allocated tothe ducting system. In case of duct components, this information can no more bechanged.

Bugfixes

#26239Unit kW of property HEAT_PWR at object Heat Exchanger

The unit kW/h was changed to kW in property HEAT_PWR at object Heat Exchanger(PHI-HEXC).

CADISON General Information

General Information

New Functions

#25322Addition of drawing file names

If a new drawing is created, then CADISON creates the file name on the basis of theinformation from the corresponding .TPL-file. In this version, the evaluation ofAPP_PRAEFIX line from .TPL-file is adjusted corresponding to the already existing optionsof APP_PRAEFIX line at the time of report creation. With this, it is possible to useproperty values of the object when creating the file name, on which the new drawing iscreated (generally, a document group) starting from this version. In the APP_PRAEFIXline property names, encircling the "$"-symbol. These property names are added byCADISON with actual property value. If a new drawing is created in a document group,then the line

APP_PRAEFIX=$P_Project.P_name$_PID

creates a file name, which starts with the property value "P_name" (object name) of theproject. "_PID" is then attached to this name. Subsequently, CADISON adds theautomatic counter in order to make the file name unique in the project.

Option for deleting the imported files

Starting from this version, the property "Clean document data" (PURGE_READOUT) isavailable for document objects. If this property is set to "Yes" and new context menucommand "Clean document data" is opened, files previously imported in the databaseare deleted. The document objects remain maintained. CADISON Help contains adocumentation of this new function.

CPP Views Tree control replaced with MFC Tree control

Tree control in main window of all applications like Engineer, PDM and Navigator is nowreplaced with new MFC style tree control. The same change has been done to all dialogs(Editor, synchronize drawing, etc.) which embeds a tree control in it.

64-bit Support for CADISON

CADISON now supports 64-bit platform. It is now possible to install and run CADISONmodules on 64-bit operating systems. The officially supported environment for CADISONon 64-bit is Windows 7, MS Office 2010 and AutoCAD 2011.

New Excel-Reports "Pipeline material list Excel" and "Pump data sheetExcel"

Both new report templates "Pipeline material list Excel" and "Pump data sheet Excel" arepresent in the report directory of CADISON installation and can be used in conventionalway. A detailed description for functionality of both reports is present in the

Page 13: R 10.0 Release Notes - CADISON · Release notes CADISON R10.0 (as PDF and CHM on DVD) 8 ITandFactory GmbH CADISON R10.0 Release Notes ... CAD line width), which is entered in the

documentation of CADISON standard reports. This is present as CHM-help file in thedocumentation folder of CADISON installation or alternatively, it can be opened usingCADISON help.

Function Changes

Resetting the properties by "Remove catalog entry"

Starting from this version, it is possible to automatically remove certain object propertiesusing the option "Copy property" when deleting a catalog entry or when resetting todefault value. For this purpose, an additional configuration file can be saved inCADISON.INI, in which the properties to be reset are listed.

Add the following new entries in [CADISON.INI] in section [PHI-CADISON]:

# Here you can leave the name of a configuration file which should# be used when the command 'remove catalog entry' is selected. The# file can contain one property name per line, and all listed properties# are cleared when a catalog entry is removed from an object.REMOVE_CATALOG_ENTRY_ACTION=ClearProps.txt

File specified here must be present in Config-directory of actual CADISON domains (entryPHI_GLOBALCFG). Either a file name or a relative path can be entered here.Every property to be removed has to be entered in a separate line in file entered here. Ife.g. properties "CATALOG_ID", "USER1" and "USER2" are to be reset when deleting acatalog entry, then the file must have the following content:CATALOG_IDUSER1USER2

#25550Sorting the properties in Favorites-sheet

Since CADISON R9, properties in Favorite sheet were sorted alphabetically. Starting fromthis version, sorting cannot be done anymore so that the sequence specified for tableproperties in the dialog is used.

Context menu command "Remove catalog entry"

This command was available previously for a multiple selection in the table only when theobjects of the same object type were selected. As soon as different object types weremarked in the table, this command was not offered.This restriction is now eliminated. The command "Remove catalog entry" is alwaysavailable for multiple selections in the table. The command is further disabled only incases, where a simple selection was not available such as for a project object or adocument.

Use of CADISON Explorer to "Create additional connection points"

Function "Create additional point" did not use CADISON Explorer for positioning ofadditional connection point. Starting from this version, CADISON Explorer is used for

Page 14: R 10.0 Release Notes - CADISON · Release notes CADISON R10.0 (as PDF and CHM on DVD) 8 ITandFactory GmbH CADISON R10.0 Release Notes ... CAD line width), which is entered in the

ITandFactory GmbH

CADISON R10.0 Release Notes

both position as well as alignment so that it is possible to align the additional connectionpoint to the existing geometry.

New connection point VCS-CPLS for outlets

Outlets (object type PHI-POLT) had only one connection point "1" of type VCS-CPX1 sofar. Further pipes/pipeline elements are connected to this connection point. However, theoutlet did not have any connection through a connection point with the pipe, from whichthe outlet starts.Starting from this version, the outlet has a second connection point "2" of typeVCS-CPLC. With this connection point, an outlet is connected with the pipe, at which theoutlet starts. If an outlet is placed at a bend or a reduction, this outlet also possesses the newconnection point "2"; however the connection point does not have any incomingconnection with the bend or the reducer.

Attention: Through the new connection point, outlets can no more be directly placedcorrectly on the bend. It is thus required to move the outlet first next to the bend andsubsequently, move and/or rotate command is to be used in order to place the outlet atthe desired place.

Application of several volumes for importing DB-files

If a DB-file is imported, then a database volume was applied previously by CADISONindependent of the size of DB-file to be imported. Problems were caused when theDB-file to be imported had size greater than 2000 MB, as 2000 MB was the defaultvolume size of the DB-file. Starting from this version, CADISON determines the size ofDB-files at the time of importing. Subsequently, corresponding number of 2000 MBvolumes each are created before importing the DB-file.

Save and retrieve splitter position for MFC dialogs

The Splitter can be used in the table to fix a certain number of columns, so that thesecolumns do not move while the rest is scrolling horizontally. After closing the table, theSplitter position was lost. Now it is remembered and by reopening the table, the Splitterappears on the same position as before. The following dialogs are affected:Object Manager, Object Editor, Synchronize Drawing and Modal Tree.

Enhanced Set visibility Dialog box

Dialog box is redesigned for better clarity and ease of working. Major highlights of newdialog box are two list controls which are provided to assign users. The dialog box ismodeless, so it can stay open while other objects in the background are selected. Whentree selection is changed the dialog box is updated to show visibility for new selectedobject. That means, after change in tree selection it is not required to execute thecommand again to view the visibility. The dialog box is resizable and restores it's lastposition when reopened.

Global project copy now with acknowledgement message

After (successful) object copying to clipboard now appears an acknowledgment message:"Objects copied to clipboard".

Display of drawing list in Objecteditor

When the Objecteditor window is opened on an object, all subordered graphicalrepresentations of that object are detected. Thereafter all drawings, on which theserepresentations are situated are detected and shown in a list on the lower left side of thedialog. This list could be very long and display could take lots of time, if objects of a highhierachy in the tree were selected.From this version on, only directly subordered drawings are shown if either the Project, adocument group, a report or a document are selected. All other object types will onlyshow drawings of the first three tree levels downwards from the selected object.

Bugfixes

#25261 Problem when entering values for unit properties with the storedselection list

In case of some unit properties, a free selection list is stored in the object model, forexample, for the property EFF_PWR. If a free numerical value is entered for theseproperties, then CADISON used the internal base unit as unit, which could lead toundesired results. Starting from this version, CADISON uses the following sequence fordetermination of the unit to be used at the time of entry:- If a unit along with the value is entered in the text, then this unit is used.- If a display unit has been defined (or overwritten) for the property, then this is used.- If a unit is defined in the object model, then this is used.- Otherwise, the internal base unit is used.

#25712Defective specifications in the unit file for conversion of N / m values

In the unit file of CADISON, an error was included for conversion from N/m to /Ncm and10^-3N/m. This error has been eliminated.

#25731 Column width in CCC-Dialog

If CCC-Edit is started in CADISON, then the CCC-Dialog appears, in which the tableconfiguration "CCC" is automatically used. Previously, the column width inputs in theCCC-table configuration were ignored in the dialog. Starting from this version, thecolumn widths stored in the table configuration are taken into account in the dialog.

#25841Translation is not functioning

If the CADISON dictionary or even the configuration file (cst-file) are saved in adirectory, which contains a dot ".", then CADISON translation function did not used towork so far. This error has been eliminated.

#26007Defective filter in the table

Page 16: R 10.0 Release Notes - CADISON · Release notes CADISON R10.0 (as PDF and CHM on DVD) 8 ITandFactory GmbH CADISON R10.0 Release Notes ... CAD line width), which is entered in the

16

ITandFactory GmbH

CADISON R10.0 Release Notes

If more than one user-defined filter is used in the table, then a defective result wasdisplayed in the table previously. This error has been eliminated.

Check for invalid symbols in file names

CADISON checks for invalid symbols in file names at the time of naming. Previously, itwas not checked for symbols "*" and "?" in the file names. It is checked starting fromthis version. Invalid symbols are: < > | : * ? / \ "

English translation of "Produktberührt"

Previous translation of "produktberührt" was not uniform. In addition to this, someproperties were translated with "produktberührt" instead of "nicht produktberührt" inEnglish and Russian. Starting from this version, "produktberührt" is uniformly translatedas "product contaminated" and "nicht produktberührt" as "without productcontamination".

Possible crash in case of invalid formula for SUM= and SUMUNIQUE=

If invalid formulae are entered for SUM= and SUMUNIQUE=, then the CADISON couldcrash when evaluating the formula. This error has been eliminated.

Key words P_subcnt and P_subgrp did not function

Key words P_subcnt and P_subgrp did not function correctly in the past so that correctresults were never determined when using these key words were. This error is corrected.Sample formula: P_subgrp.P_name

Warning dialog instead of Information dialog

In case of some outputs in CADISON, it may occur that a warning dialog was displayedinstead of general information dialog for reporting. This error has been eliminated.

Cleaning the graphical representations that are not used anymoreEngineer-command "Clean unused graphical representations" in "Extras" menu was notin position to identify and clean the graphical representations of pipes and logical plantsthat are not used anymore. This error is eliminated.

Object Editor in Start-Tree

If a CADISON application is started, then first the start-tree appears, in which the projectto be edited or the drawing to be edited has to be selected. From this start-tree, theobject editor can be opened. If PDM was also installed on the computer, then the objecteditor could be only opened. This error has been eliminated.

Reading CADISON.INI entries with "=" symbol

If an entry in CADISON.INI contained more than two equality symbols "=", then the partup to the last equality symbol was used as entry name. This is incorrect as the name of

Page 17: R 10.0 Release Notes - CADISON · Release notes CADISON R10.0 (as PDF and CHM on DVD) 8 ITandFactory GmbH CADISON R10.0 Release Notes ... CAD line width), which is entered in the

17

ITandFactory GmbH

CADISON R10.0 Release Notes

the entry was only up to first equality symbol. Starting from this version, the name ofthe entry is always read only up to the first equality symbol. If a second equality symbolis to be i9ncluded, then this is now taken up as a part of the value.

Filename extension in dialog "Save file"

At some places, CADISON shows the dialog "Save file" and mostly, a new file filter isprovided. If a new filename without file extension is entered in the edit line of the dialog,then it may occur that extension is not attached to the filename. Starting from thisversion, the data extension is attached, which is actually set in the file filter.

Closing the dialog for project selection/drawing selection

If a CADISON application is started, which shows the so-called system tree for a projectselection or drawing selection, then a connection for system database is createdinternally, which contains the system tree. If this dialog was closed without using OKbutton in previous versions, then the connection to the system database was not closed.Starting from this version, it is ensured that an active connection to the system databaseis closed as soon as this dialog is closed.

DwgNeutralExport hangs

DwgNeutralExport hangs in case of drawing having xrefs which refer to each other. Thisproblem was fixed.

Search functionality in Tree

The search function in the CADISON Tree uses the entered term to start the search. Ifthe dialog was re-opened and the term deleted, CADISON would still use it for the nextsearch when no other term was entered. This problem is fixed, so that an error messageappears: "Enter valid string" if no term is entered.

Object Editor - Resizing of columns makes the field disappear

In the Object Editor it was possible to reduce the size of the column for 'File Name' to 0.This problem is fixed.

Enable/disable state of zoom, pan, and highlight buttons on table dialog

The enable/disable state of ‘Zoom’, ‘Pan’ and ‘Highlight’ button was not correct on someof the MFC table dialogs. Now, all the resulting table dialogs have been analyzed andbutton state of ‘Zoom’, ‘Pan’ and ‘Highlight’ buttons is adjusted correctly based on thepurpose of the dialog.

ObjectInspector in Objectmanager closes after deleting an object

If you delete an object in ObjectManager while the ObjectInspector is open, theInspector will be closed. In R10 the Inspector stays open but without showing anything.

Problem with language support dialog box

Page 18: R 10.0 Release Notes - CADISON · Release notes CADISON R10.0 (as PDF and CHM on DVD) 8 ITandFactory GmbH CADISON R10.0 Release Notes ... CAD line width), which is entered in the

18

ITandFactory GmbH

CADISON R10.0 Release Notes

New entries in the dictionary using the language support dialog box are not correctlysaved, if the main and secondary languages of the project or catalog did not have thesame sequence as first and second language in the dictionary. This error is eliminated inthe current version.

Drag list view up to null-level - no optical hint that the table is opened

In PDM/Engineer, horizontal area separator can be dragged between tree and list up tothe upper or lower edge. Then, there is no optical hint whatsoever that any other area isactually open. Now, it is so implemented that the user can reduce the viewport only upto a minimum size.

No CAD-Drawing Icon

If a CAD drawing is transferred to the database and you're editing the drawing, no icon isshown in the upper left side of the edit dialogue.The same problem cropped up with reports and documents. This issue was fixed.

Set default representation dialog appears twice in specific workflow

If an object with several graphical representations is selected in the object manager forpositioning and default is not defined for the graphical representation, then a dialogappears in order to determine the graphical representation. This dialog could be closed with OK or Cancel in previous versions, without that a defaultwas be defined. Further workflow was executed for both OK and Cancel. Subsequently,this dialog was opened again when positioning and thus, it appeared for the second time.The dialog for determination of graphical default representation is now changed so thatthe dialog can be closed with OK only then, when a default graphic is determined using"Apply" button. Otherwise, OK button is disabled. If the dialog is closed with "Cancel",then the dialog is closed and returned in the object manager.

All objects of Class "Room" are written in capital letters

All objectnames in .def-files have been changed into correct capitalization. Missing orwrong translation for the English .def-files has been added/corrected.

#26376Wrong texts in "Check Conflicts" dialog

A table is shown when the function "Check Conflicts" in dialog "Synchronise objects"finds conflicts. By using the context-menu, the user can decide which change shall beaccepted: from server or from client. During this, the text in column for server/client isrefreshed. Until now, the text was incorrect, when the same column was clicked on forseveral times. This problem is fixed in R10.

#26605Empty rows in Favorites of ObjectInspector

If a cac-file contains properties which are not available at the selected object, theFavorites-tab in ObjectEditor and ObjectInspector showed empty rows. From this versioon, non-existing properties are ignored.

#26684Slow refresh of ObjectInspector and Objecteditor

If a property which is supposed to be shown in ObjectInspector or -editor contains a verylong text (e.g. order information), the display could take several seconds for each valueof a property. This behaviour was improved now, independant of the operation system.

#26701Change of Properties via context menu

The following commands can be executed on a property via context menu:- Delete and unlock property- Reset property to default- Change property definition of this propertyIf this property is changed a second time, this change will not be stored whenObjecteditor is closed with "Ok". This problem is fixed now.

#26355Delete locked objects

Locked objects cannot be deleted in a direct way in CADISON. If it is tried, CADISONshows a message, that deleting is not allowed because of missing user rights. Until nowCADISON did not react, when an object is loaded into memory on one machine and laterthis object is locked on a different machine. Since the object was loaded without lock onthe first machine, it could be deleted without problems. From this version on, CADISONloads the latest object-status from server prior to executing the delete action.

Opening the Memo-Editor for READONLY and CALCULATEMEMO-Properties

Properties of type "MEMO" which are set to READONLY and CALCULATE can be openedvia double-click with the MEMO-editor. Changes will not be stored, of course. Until now,in Objecteditor and ObjectInspector it was not possible to open the MEMO-editor, whichis possible now.

Message SYSWARNING_NOSINGLEUSER

Until now it could happen while doing administrative work, that a message"SYSWARNING_NOSINGLEUSER" appeared. From now on a message will appear whichtells the user, that no exclusive access to the database is possible and the action isaborted.

Formula in APP_PROPERTY lines in TPL-files

In the CADISON Templates folder, a tpl-file for the document type "Stellenplan" exists.Inside this file, a formula is defined to fill the properties DESCRIPTION_2,DESCRIPTION_3 and DESCRIPTION_4 which point to measuring points. Until now, thisformula could not be interpreted. In R10, formulas will be interpreted correctly.

If the Objecteditor is opened from System Tree to show the properties of eitherdatabase, database group, domain or computer, it could happen that CADISON appearedto be hanging. CADISON tried to fill the list of drawings in the lower left side of thedialog. This list will not be filled for the mentioned object-types anymore.

Spelling mistake in english report template "cable list per circuit"

The report template "cable list per circuit" contained two spelling mistakes on the firstpage which have been corrected in this version.

Bugfixes

#25978Restoration of property values in case of hidden attributes

It is possible in CADISON to suppress individual properties in user management for theuser. In CADISON, "no administration permission" is displayed as value for theseproperties. The check for the actual admission permission was not carried out inCADISON API previously so that the property values could not be requested. Startingfrom this version, CADISON API also checks whether the property values may bereturned.

Report Generator

New Functions

#24032Separation of a unit property in the numerical value and unit

In case of output of unit properties (such as LENGTH) in a report, it is partially desired tooutput the value of the property separate from the unit used. Key word "P_nounit" wasalready present for the output of value without the unit. Starting from this version, thekey word "P_onlyunit" is provided for output of the unit used, which only outputs the unitwithout any actual value.

Bugfixes

Crash in case of report "Room overview"

In templates of the report "Room overview", incorrect report key word"reportProp_1"="hasTableOnly" was used in the document properties. The defective useof the key word led to crash at the time of report creation. These templates are correctedin this version.

#25109AEX-file with wildcard is evaluated at the time of report creation

The correct sequence of entries in the REPORT section in AEX-file had to be taken intoconsideration in previous versions. A possibly available wildcard entry (e.g."REPORT;*;*:PLANT_BMK;PLANT_BMK;SHOW") must be specified as the last entry sinceit would be otherwise used for all object types. Starting from this version, CADISON firstchecks all entries, which do not use any "*" for the object type. Only if an exact hit is notfound, the wildcard entry is used.

Defective use of document property "hasTableOnly"

If the document property "reportProp_1" is defined in a report template to"hasTableOnly" and the template included not only a table but also further text, then theReport generator could crash previously at the time of creation of the report. Startingfrom this version, the defective use of document property does not lead to the crash.Note: the content of the report is also not correct in this case.

#26381Change name of report document during creation

During creation of a new report, CADISON shows the filename in the dialog. The namecan now also be changed in this dialog.

AutoCAD or Visio is closed automatically, if the user closes the dialog window "Projectand document management" with "Cancel" and the query "Do you want to select a validproject?" is answered with "No".

PARTsolution selector not supported anymore

PARTsolution selector is not anylonger supported. The button in Designer toolbar and themenu entry was removed from the program.

Bugfixes

Drawing update in case of read-only drawings

If a read-only drawing is opened in CADISON and this is not updated due to changes inthe database or if the drawing contains an error, then CADISON used to try to updatethe database objects and drawing in previous versions. These changes cannot be savedsince the drawing is write-protected. CADISON then showed information: "The selectedfile is read-only. All changes, which are concerned with the CADISON system, will beautomatically undone and will not be saved in the file!".However, these already executed updates could not be undone. If the same drawing wasloaded at a later point in time without the write-protection, then inconsistencies werethereupon determined, which were reported by the drawing check.Starting from this version, drawing updates/check is not carried out, if a drawing iswrite-protected. Thus, inconsistencies do not arise, if the drawing is opened later withoutthe write-protection.

Error in CADISON Clipboard when copying the elements

If CADISON elements are copied using CTRL+C in AutoCAD, then CADISON asks whetherthe graphics, objects pot nothing is to be copied. If the option "Objects" is selected, thenCADISON could show an error that an object could not be found in CADISON Clipboard.Subsequently, CADISON clipboard was destroyed and could not be used anymore. Thiserror has been eliminated.

Missing translation in Dialog "CADISON Revision Management"

Text "Zeilen" was not translated in English or Russian in the dialog CADISON RevisionManagement in previous versions. This error has been eliminated.

#25075Open help with F1-key in CADISON Tree dialog in Designer does notfunction

In R10, CADSION Help can be opened now.

#25115Context menu cannot be selected

If an object is marked with left mouse button first and then it is attempted to open theobject-edit menu using CRTL + right mouse button, then nothing can be selected in thecontext menu. You can only exit this menu by repeatedly pressing the Esc-key. Thiserror is rectified.

#25254Menu point "Design Checker" is not present in menu Tools in Russianversion

The menu "Design Checker" is now included in the Russian version.

#25152Search Matpipe vs. Engineer object; different search fields are available

Properties of only first object model are represented in the Selector. This is corrected inR10.

Loss of modal state for dialogs - like Synchronize drawing, modal treeetc.

Dialog loses modal state when controls are passed to main window (ACAD window) fromdialog. For example when ‘Merge Object’ command is invoked from synchronize drawingdialog, it asks to select object in ACAD window when object is selected ‘synchronize’dialog loses its modal state. This problem is now fixed.

Modeless tree dialog functionality problem

The modeless tree dialog functionality was broken when tried to float or dock dialog aftersplitter movement and resizing with advanced mode ON. This problem is now fixed.

#24645Unknown command T-LOE

When using the function "Tools" -> "Construction lines" -> "Delete", message "Unknowncommand T-LOE" was shown in AutoCAD, if no construction line was available in theactual drawing. This error has been eliminated.

Menu item for toolbox is checked even if toolbox is closed

AutoCAD set the menu item as checked automatically at clicking menu item, if it has thesame name as toolbox. But Autocad doesn't uncheck it anymore. So we should change

#24272Error message when opening new CADISON drawing for the first time

If a drawing (R&I or 3D) is created and is opened for the first time in Designer, then anerror message appears in AutoCAD text window:...removeXDataLoid failed!removeXDataLoid failed!…This message is not shown when opening the drawing from second time onwards..

#26251Crash while selecting objects in dockable tree

Under certain circumstances the Designer could crash, when objects in the dockableCADISON tree window were selected. This problem is solved in R10.

Menu entry for "Design Checker"

The menu entry for "Design Checker" was shown in two menues: Tools and CADISON.Now it is only shown in menu Tools.

Aborting the process of inserting Construction Sets

When the process of inserting a Construction Set into a drawing was aborted, it was stillplaced in the lower left corner of the drawing. This problem is fixed in R10.

New Functions

#25619Entry of texts for line type translation in configuration file

A translation table is available for AutoCAD line type for Visio line types in theconfiguration file visiopropertymapping.cfg. This translation table can be extended.Previously, only those entries were added, which were related to Visio line type numbers.It was not possible to enter a Visio line type on the basis of Visio name. This is possiblestarting from this version.

Function Changes

#25756Illuminate function does not start automatically colour change

If an object is illuminated in a Visio drawing, then the colour of the object did not changeimmediately according to illumination function used. It was partially required to operatethe left mouse button first, in order to start the colour change. Starting from thisversion, this additional mouse-click is not required anymore.Note: The illumination function ends automatically after a couple of seconds. If, forexample, Visio is started from Engineer using illumination function, then Visio does notwait anymore for the first mouse click before the start of the colour change. This meansthat when Visio is started using illumination function, then the colour change isautomatically started and closed after a couple of seconds.

New MFC dialogs in Visio P& ID designer

New MFC dialogs can now be invoked in VISIO environment.

#1935Saving mastershapes without layer

Since shapes which are assigned to layers could cause problems ins connection withsome CADISON functions (Designchecker, Mastershape editing), new symbols will notsave any layer-information in R10.

Bugfixes

#26176Message "Select the correct stencil" in Symboleditor

If a stencil file has been selected for the storage of new symbol, the message "Select theright stencil" could appear, even when a .vss-file was selected. This error has beeneliminated.

#26225Crash after closing the drawing test

If the drawing test appears and defective elements were reported and the drawing test isclosed subsequently (independent of whether OK or Cancel button was pressed), theapplication could crash. This error has been eliminated.

Crash after closing the pipeline dialog

If the command for further drawing of a pipeline is opened and the pipeline dialogappears, then Visio could crash in some cases, if this dialog was closed using "Cancel"button and the process was terminated thereby. Starting from this version, Visio doesnot crash when terminating the process.

Draw pipeline further in case of several media with same name

If the function "Draw pipeline further" pipeline dialog appears, in which the medium andthe pipe class used are automatically selected from the selected pipeline. In addition tothis, the selected pipeline is automatically selected in the selection list. This did not workreliably in previous versions, if several media with same name were present in theproject (which are displayed in the selection list / in CADISON tree with identical text).This error has been eliminated.

#25243Copying with CTRL+SHIFT leads to data loss

In case of following procedures, only Visio graphics is copied, but not the CADISONobject: - Mark object - Press "CTRL" + left mouse button - Press "SHIFT" - Move copy - Leave left mouse button, then CTRL & SHIFT - Only a graphic copy of the original object is obtainedIn R10, this function works properly.

#25970Allocation of logical plants is defective

Logical plant selected from the list of available logical plants is allocated correctly to thepipeline in the dialog "pipeline specification".

#26046Visio drawings update when opening

When opening Visio-PIDs, data is not updated automatically. For example, if thecounting numbers or allocations are changed in the tagging system in Engineer and thenVisio-PID is opened, update of names does not take place. The user has to first open thecommand "Update objects". This error has been eliminated.

CADISON R10.0 Release Notes

If a medium, which contains a pipe class, which does not contain any pipelines, isselected in the pipeline specification dialog, then the option "Add to the already existingpipeline" is deactivated. This option is not activated again, if the pipe class is selected,which includes pipelines. This functions in R10.

Open AutoCAD drawing from VISIO P&ID

OK button opens an AutoCAD drawing selected in Open drawing dialog. This was notpossible in the previous versions.

Have revision drawing displayed using TREE Visio-PID

It is problematic to load a revision drawing in the actual session. Thus, a new session isnow always started with pure Visio (without CADISON Visio-PID Addins), in order todisplay the revision drawing.

Copy of pipeline shows incorrect tooltips

If you stay in Visio with mouse using pipe routes, then the tooltip "Pipeline XY, DN.."appears. If the pipeline is copied, the tooltip "Pipe routes ..." appears on the copy insteadof pipeline information. This property is now corrected.

Valve is not connected with pipeline in case of "Synchronize drawing"

It is now possible to rotate the valve to be placed with "Ctrl + right mouse button" incase of "Synchronize drawing" (always only by 90 degrees, thus orthogonal) so that itfits in the pipeline and the pipeline is then broken accordingly or connected with valve. Attention: the user has to place the valve accurately on the pipeline, otherwise it doesnot function since normal align and snap mechanisms of Visio do not function in case ofDrag&Drop.

Dialog "Synchronize drawing" need not be closed after each reset ofcomponents

If objects are compared in PID using the dialog for drawing synchronization, then thedialog is closed after each reset of components and the user has to open the dialogagain. Structure view preset at the time of comparing also disappears. In R10, the dialogremains opened or the last active structure view remains active.

OK-Button preselected for opening the function "Set designation style"

For dialog Designation Style, button "OK" should be activated by default so that theaction can be directly completed with "Enter" after opening without having to select "OK"button with the cursor. By pressing "ESC", dialog is closed with program termination.This has been implemented for R10.

For this purpose,additional properties are defined for the screw groups as well as for mounting parts.Details about this are given in the online help.

Addition of additional connection points in 3D

Command "Create additional connection point" is available in Designer, using which itwas previously possible to add so-called additional "external" connections to theCADISON-Elements, which were shown in the drawing as blocks. Starting from thisversion, it is also possible to add additional connection points to theCADISON-3D-Elements, which are not shown as blocks. With this, connection points can be added to all 3D-pipeline elements, 3D-ventilationelements and 3D-cable duct elements, which are shown as so-called proxy-elements.

Function Changes

#25499Option "No selection" for end object in case of nozzle assistant

In the nozzle assistant, either a flange, a screwed joint or a stub end could be selectedso far for the end object. Starting from this version, the option "No Selection" is alsoavailable. If this option is selected, then only a pipe is created and no further end objectis selected.Similarly, the end object is set to "No selection", if the last selected type for the endobject is no more available in the newly selected pipe class at the time of selection ofpipe class.

Graphic Settings dialog in Designer

With enhanced graphic keys, behavior of Graphic Settings dialog is now changed. Thedialog allows to set standards for given drawing. The selected standards are saved in thegraphic keys of the drawing. This way, user will be able to filter the symbols withrequired standards in Object manager dialog and Exchange graphic representationdialog.

Bugfixes

objects are reported without graphics at the time of next drawing test. This error hasbeen eliminated so that no database error can arise again after undoing the centerlineoverlay.

Deleting the work planes

If an entry is deleted in the dialog for setting the work plane, which is presently active,and this dialog is closed after deleting the work plane without selecting another workplane, then the deleted work plane appeared in the list so far after opening the dialogagain. Reason for this was that no other work plane was set active after deleting thework plane, and the active work plane is automatically added to the list when openingthe dialog. Starting from this version, first entry in the list is automatically selected andactivated when deleting a work plane so that another work plane is immediatelyactivated.

Crash in Tank Assistant special vessel dialog box

Tank assistant command crashes when number of segments is changed. This problemwas solved.

Extension of graphic export as per Navisworks

When using NWExp, CADISON has to take into consideration the attributes of objects,which are present in XREFs. This functionality is included in R10.

Flange doesn't move to the new position if nozzle is moved

If the nozzle is edited with nozzle-wizard and the position is changed, the flange doesn'tmove to the new position. This problem was solved.

Container Assistant - Missing tooltip

If a container is created in the Container Assistant, then the values user for this aresaved in the registry. These values are again imported in the Assistant for new orfurther modification using button "Last used configuration".

#23642Valves are no more present in the pipeline, but above the pipeline

In all visual 3D-styles, specific graphics are moved, but not in 2D-style. Reason for this isan internal transformation error in case of certain Vc3d-variants. This error waseliminated.

Bended Pipe – command crashes

When bended pipe command is invoked on two pipe objects without any elbow inbetween, it crashes. Instead it should do nothing, as input is wrong. This problem wassolved.

In the actual version, an additional dialog box is available here, whichdisplays both internal names as well as description of graphic types in a selection lostwith two columns.

EDD-Export from Tree

the context menu for tree objects in Matpipe was extended, Starting from this version,there is a new entry "Export with EDD" when you right-click on an object or a chapter.This command corresponds exactly to the "Export with EDD" command, which isavailable in the catalog menu. In contrast to the catalog menu command, completecatalog is not exported, but only the selected object or its subordered objects areexported.If the command is started from an object, then all its elements shown in the detail tableare exported. If the object possesses a sub-element (with LINK), then this is notexported.If the command is started from a chapter, then all the subordered objects aredetermined, whereby linked sub-elements are not taken into consideration in this case.From this, the elements of the detail table are exported.

#23360Display of application of graphic variables in the parametric module

A function is implemented, for which it is identified in a parametric (in window "Setparameters..."), for which primitives which graphic variables are used. The termsearched can be entered directly in a search field. This is documented in the currentMATPIPE Help.

Function Changes

#21177Selection of DWG-files when creating von 2D-graphic entries

When creating 2D-graphic entries in Matpipe, a DWG-file had to be created manually inthe correct Matpipe-data directory, which is used in AutoCAD later as block graphic.Thereby, the user had to copy the required DWG-file manually in the correct Matpipedata directory and select from there. If the user did not make sure that the DWG-file wascreated in the correct directory, then 2D-graphic cannot be created in AutoCAD. Handlingof file selection box for selection of DWG-files is changed in the current version such that

An existing graphic entry can be selected in the dialog "Graphic entry assignment". Fromthis dialog, dialog "Manage graphic entries" can be opened, which displays all theavailable graphic entries. Starting from this version, the graphic entry is automaticallyselected in the dialog, which was selected in the dialog "Graphic entry assignment".

#24826Column sequence when exporting with EDD

Function "Export with EDD" creates a CSV-file, in which the column is sortedalphabetically. Starting from this version, there is a possibility to output the columns inthe sequence as the properties are entered in EDD-input file. In order to activate thisfunction, the following entry has to be added to the section [General] in MATPIPE.INI:USE_EDD_ORDER=1Note: By using this option, the export and import behaviour of Matpipe changes. Ifproperties are listed in the EDD-file, which cannot be used in Matpipe (such as LINKABLEor READONLY properties), then Matpipe ignores these properties. Using new setting,empty columns are exported for these properties (column title contains thereby thename of the property). When importing, Matpipe checks whether a value is entered inthe corresponding column. If a value is entered in these columns (which cannot beimported0 Matpipe shows a message at the end of the corresponding property that thecorresponding properties cannot be imported.

These are invalid values for EDD-importsince this is not defined, in which table the property has to be created. Starting from this version, new properties are created at the time of EDD-import in theobject table, if "MASTER" or "DETAIL" is included in the 15th column.

#26105Detail entries for a pipe class (PHI-PSPC) not possible

Even if the catalog objects "PHI-PSPC" and "PHI-ESPC" may not possess any detailentries, it was possible to assign properties as sub-entries to these objects. Theassignment could not be carried out using the object table dialog box. This is not possibleanymore in the latest version.

Deleting a graphic entry in dialog "Manage graphic entries"

If a configuration is created and it is subsequently switched to the configuration view,then this new configuration is not to be seen in this view. Only after "F5-key" is pressed,the actual data is represented. In updated version, this problem is eliminated so that theconfiguration view is updated for such changes.

Problem when importing the actual screen resolution

In a multi-screen resolution system, if a dialog box was moved to the second screen atthe time of last start and if this second screen was not active at the time of the secondstart, then the dialog box was still opened on the second screen and this dialog box wasnot visible anymore. In the actual version, it is checked whether the saved coordinates are within thecurrently available resolution when opening the dialog box. If the coordinates are outsidethe current resolution, then the dialog box is shown at the standard position.

Defective filter of linked objects

If the filter operators >, <, >= or <= are used in case of linked objects, then the objectsare not always filtered correctly. The reason for this was the comparative function, whichhas not processed the numerical values within the text correctly. In the latest version,the error has been eliminated.
