Changelog 2019

Improvement - Speed increase for Stand Key calculations

If you have lots of stand keys on your floorplan, additionally if you have set the 'Limit by Hall' option on them as well, your floorplan will now regenerate approx. 75% faster.

New Feature - Import Stand URLs

When using the 'Import Stand Data' function, you can now import stand URLs.

Improvement - Bill of Materials Calculation for Nested Symbols

When setup correctly, EFD can automatically calculate and give you a report of symbols inserted onto stands. This function has now been improved so that symbols within symbols are also calculated in the report. For example you could add symbols for poles, panels, connectors etc to a stand and then make a symbol of these individual symbols to make it easier to select, copy and paste etc.

New Feature - Zone and Hall colour Keys

You can now insert colour keys for Zones and Halls.

Newly inserted keys for Stand Types, Zones and Halls are now automatically put on their own layer and in a layer group called Keys.

Because of these 2 new functions, the button configuration for inserting a colour key has changed slightly.

New Feature - Intelligent Floor Loadings (weight Limits)

You can now add intelligence for Floor Loadings.

Once added, using the 'Inspect Floorplan' function will highlight any stands that have a Floor Loading capacity greater than the allowable capacity. The floor loadings will also be shown in the exported spreadsheet next to each stand that is on a Floor Loading area and highlight the figures in Red if the stand floor loading exceeds the allowed capacity.

New Feature - Unhide Stand Names

You can now Unhide Stand Names. Select a stand(s) > Stand Text > Unhide Names. This then ticks any names that have been unticked in the Stand Properties dialog.

Improvement - Stand Outlines and Wall Colours

The Stand outline/wall colour calculation and toggle function has been improved so you can now select colours from:

• A colour pallete
• Previously used colours
• Colours already used on Stand Types, Zones and Halls

You can now also specify a line width.

Stand line widths are also now shown correctly on-screen, as long as 'Display Line Thickness' is switched on in the Colours Settings.

Improvement - Adding Stand Numbers

When adding new stand numbers using the Add Numbers > Trace method, the trace line is now easier to draw because Angle lock and x-y coordinate modes get disabled.
