Changelog (EN)

Version 9.4

Version 9.4 · New

SCADLIB: TAB-carrousel
Hold TAB during an insert from SCADLIB to flip through the other blocks on the same page with the mouse wheel or arrow keys. The block under the cursor swaps live. Release TAB to keep the block shown, or press ESC for the original block. The picked block is highlighted in the library. With the ‘Carousel: all pages’ option in the SCADLIB settings you flip through all pages instead of only the current one.

SOLIDUNFOLD / SOLIDFOLD
SOLIDUNFOLD unfolds 3D solids into 2D polylines and stores the original 3D coordinates. SOLIDFOLD folds them back into a 3D solid. The result can be placed interactively.

FLATTENSOLID
Projects 3D solids to 2D geometry on the XY plane (Z=0). The solid is exploded into regions, projected, and converted to lines and arcs. Duplicates are automatically removed.

FACEUNFOLD
Flattens a curved face of a solid or surface into a 2D outline.

SCEXTRUDE
Extrudes 2D curves into 3D solids. Automatically uses the curve normal as extrusion direction. Supports preselection (multiple curves at once), remembers the last used direction and distance, and offers axis snapping (X/Y/Z) when using two-point input.

FACETOPOLY3D
Select a face from a 3D solid and convert it to a 3D polyline. Uses boolean operations to extract the surface. The result can be placed interactively with a configurable offset.

SCMIRROR
New mirror command with live preview. Ortho (F8) or Shift keeps the mirror line straight; the original stays in place. Blocks are rotated cleanly instead of being flipped ‘inside-out’. Place a POINT on layer 900-MIRR_POINT inside a block to choose the pivot yourself. Objects on locked layers are skipped and the count is reported.

SCSCATTER
Fills a closed polyline with copies of the selection. Choose random placement without overlap (or with Allow overlap), or a grid (XY array) with fixed spacing, offset and angle. A live preview shows the result before you place it.

INFRAPATCH
Patch the infrastructure by clicking: pick a power distro, power BOB, Veam BOB or DMX node, then click the blocks that connect to it. Names and channel numbers are written into the attributes, and the load per BOB channel is checked. Replaces POWERPATCHASSIGN (that name still works).

CABLESYNCALL
Synchronizes and updates all cables in the drawing at once. Also works with MLeaders.

STREETVIEW (experimental)
Opens a Street View window. Click points in the drawing to navigate to the corresponding location. Stays active until ESC. Only works in a drawing with RD coordinates.

SCADLIB: Insert Align
New option in the SCADLIB right-click menu. Inserts a block with magnetic edge snapping to existing blocks. Snaps to the N/E/S/W edges of a block (taking block rotation into account). After placement, the placed block becomes the new target for the next insertion.

CA (COPYALIGN)
Copies the selection with magnetic edge snapping to existing blocks, just like Insert Align. Takes over the rotation of the target block; Rotate adds extra rotation, Nul resets it. Keeps copying until ESC; each placed copy becomes the new target. Enter repeats the last option. Also works correctly in a rotated UCS.

KEYPLAN
Use in paperspace. Creates a small overview viewport in the upper-left corner showing the full model. A red rectangle indicates which part the main viewport displays. Automatically locked.

THAWLAYERALLVIEWPORTS
Thaws a chosen layer across all viewports at once.

CREATELAYOUT
Creates new layouts with model space rectangles using an interactive jig.

LAYOUTOVERVIEW
Creates an overview drawing showing viewport rectangles from other layouts on the current layout. Per-viewport selection dialog, interactive destination picking, and a sync option to refresh the overview.

EXPORTGEOJSON
Exports drawing entities to GeoJSON format with optional filtering by type and selection.

IMPORTKML
Imports KML data into the drawing, for example from Google Earth.

SCADDATTRIBUTES
Adds attribute definitions to selected block references so existing blocks can be extended afterwards.

COUNTPL
Select a polyline as boundary. All blocks inside the polyline are automatically counted via Countlist without selecting the blocks separately.

SCREPLACE
New replace command with a full window for replacing blocks. REPLACE is now the fast command that uses the same settings without a window.

MERGEBLOCKS
Merges block definitions based on an attribute value (default ‘Short_Name’). Blocks with the same value are merged into one definition and renamed to that attribute value. Attributes are removed after the merge.

SUBENTCOLORTO
Converts the colors of the objects inside all blocks in model space (including nested blocks and attributes) to ‘ByLayer’ or ‘ByBlock’ in one go. No need to explode the block. Useful for keeping colors clean and consistent in a drawing.

DMXAUTOINSERT / DMXAUTOINSERTRECURSIVE
Pairs selected fixture blocks with a Spot-Info fixture per block type; fixtures that are already linked are skipped. Also available as DMXINSERTAUTO. DMXAUTOINSERTRECURSIVE searches the whole drawing, including fixtures inside nested blocks, places DMX blocks there, and on a rerun only fills the missing positions.

GDTFLINK
Links fixture blocks to GDTF files, local or from GDTF Share (with your GDTF Share account). Places the DMX blocks and records the GDTF mode. The links live in the Database folder and are therefore shared; edit existing links via Edit pairings.

GLBEXPORT / GLBEXPORTBLOCK
Exports 3D geometry to the GLB format. GLBEXPORT writes the drawing; GLBEXPORTBLOCK creates separate GLB files for selected block definitions, including a placement file.

SCZOOMCYCLE
Steps through selected objects and zooms to each one. The original selection remains intact. Also available as ZOOMCYCLE.

REMOVEDOUBLEREGIONS
Finds duplicate regions, keeps one copy, and removes the remaining duplicates.

CREATESECTIONVPORTSAUTOZ / REFRESHSECTIONS
Creates Z sections automatically. REFRESHSECTIONS updates all existing section viewports at once.

MODELCHECKINTERFERE
Checks 3D solids for clashes using the rules from the Modelcheck settings. The Ignored Sub Blocks column lets you leave sub-blocks (and their contents) out of the check per rule.

ZOOMTOZONE
Prompts for a zone number and zooms directly to its associated zone polyline.

CABLEAPPLYDEFAULTS
Applies the default cable lengths to selected cables.

AUTOCABLELEADER / CABLESNOLEADER
CABLESNOLEADER lists cables without leaders and zooms to the selected cable. AUTOCABLELEADER automatically adds missing leaders.

SCUCS2WCS / UCS2WCS
Converts the current UCS to world coordinates. The geometry and view are transformed together, so the drawing keeps the same appearance.

GPSXYSETTINGS
Opens the settings for GPSXYLIST and GPSXYLISTBYLAYER. Choose a column preset, header row, delimiter, and decimal precision, with an immediate output preview.

SCPUBLISHPDF
An alternative to PUBLISH that creates smaller PDF files, working around a bug in PUBLISH. Publishes selected layouts to one compressed PDF with bookmarks, configurable image quality, and background publishing.

SCTEXT
One window for placing labels, click-to-number, and numbered incrementing of text and attributes, with a live preview. Ordering can be spatial or along a picked line. The X, Y, and Z axes can be dragged into the order you want, so you decide which axis is sorted on first.

Version 9.4 · Improvements

• POWERPATCH: Now supports undo and highlights the blocks changed by the patch.
• SCBEdit: BESAVE and BEUPDATE no longer create an extra autosave that clears the parent drawing’s undo history. Event handlers are detached when the last block-editor drawing closes.
• Splash & info windows: More stable on close — no more freezes when shutting down BricsCAD.
• SCADLIB — window position: Position and size now restore correctly when toggling between minimized and normal, and on multi-monitor setups. Windows that would land off-screen snap back to the primary display.
• SCADLIB — speed: Windows open faster and the menu loads in the background, so there is less waiting.
• LAYHERDECKCSV: Generated Layher blocks are automatically placed on the layer configured for that block in SCADLIB.
• SCADLIB — InsertIncrement: New right-click menu option. Pick an attribute, prefix/suffix, start value and step; each subsequent insert auto-increments that attribute value.
• Cadbase: Library loading now runs in the background without freezing BricsCAD, and concurrent loads are handled neatly in sequence.
• LIBMANAGER: Many improvements: drag & drop reordering, adding sub-items, batch editing for quick icon generation, delete buttons for pages, faster display, and better path handling for library sources and location dialogs. New items, duplicates and folders are placed directly below the row they belong to instead of at the end. Also: top tabs, a tree filter, and undo for add, remove and rename.
• Library Update: The file list is built faster, making the overview available sooner.
• Bridle Module: New BridleManager window with real-time force calculation, recalculation, height validation, location and supplier filters, bridle-name suggestions, steel weight in exports, and sorting. COPYBRIDLEPROPS recalculates the target height after copying; MIRRORBRIDLE lets you define the mirror line by angle. BMGR opens the manager.
• COUNTLIST: Sorting now also works correctly for attribute, visibility-state, and parameter columns. Active category filters and the totals row remain intact after sorting. Switching attribute and parameter columns rebuilds the table faster.
• DMX Insert: The window opens centered on SCAD. Fixture search supports multiple search terms and shows up to 30 matching fixtures. Custom DMXINSERT data is preserved as attributes so names carry through to the Excel export.
• DMXAUTOPLACELINK: Also available as DMXINSERTAUTO. Selected blocks are paired with a Spot-Info fixture per block type. Fixtures that are already linked are skipped. Dynamic block name resolution was fixed.
• DMXUNLINK: New command that removes the DMX link from selected fixture blocks so they can be linked again. Existing DMX blocks are kept.
• DMX Channel Assignment: Per-channel wattage limits and improved undo.
• MVR Import/Export: Import now uses the correct units. Export also includes 3D solids, meshes, surfaces, 3D faces, and nested blocks.
• SelectSimilar: Added a tolerance setting for more accurate selection.
• SELECTINSIDEPOLYLINE: Improved preselection and disabled group selection during selection.
• Selection Filter: Selecting locked layers and xrefs is now faster and remains active correctly after BESAVE.
• SCRENAMELAYERS: Wildcards (such as * and ?) are now supported so multiple layers can be renamed at once.
• Ignore Layer Rule: The xref name is now removed from the layer when applying the rule.
• SC Blockeditor: Hatch draw order from blocks is now preserved in the block editor.
• NUKE: Processes nested blocks faster while leaving blocks from CADBASE intact.
• RBCLEAN: MTEXT objects are now included when resetting rotations.
• SCDIVIDE & SCDISTRIBUTE: The windows were refreshed.
• EDITDATABASE: Bulk adding of blocks and improved scrolling.
• SETRANG: Block/unblock works with one click when a locked attribute is missing. Dropdowns stay open until a choice is made.
• Copy/Move: Blocks retain the correct rotation when copied or moved to a snap point.
• MyMove: The live preview no longer flickers when Dynamic Input (DYN) is disabled.
• CABLECLI: Now works correctly in a rotated UCS.
• CablePlaceText: Added an option to keep text and leaders in place.
• MLeader: Text height now automatically follows the MLeaderStyle height.
• HatchAreaField: Improved text placement and added a settings window.
• Nextpoint: Cycling continues to work when the command line is empty, and the remembered point resets when a new command starts.
• CREATELAYOUT: Smoother paperspace zoom and settings are now remembered.
• CREATESECTIONVPORTS: Z sections are sorted by height, Y sections are mirrored correctly, the section label and layout prefix are configurable, and the X-section list is reversed.
• Zone Export: Dynamic block zone detection and the zone name on every printed page.
• EXPORTKML: Hatches and blocks are now included in the export.
• SCGEO: CityJSON import now accounts for the drawing units.
• Advanced CSV Export: Exports one CSV or splits output by zone and/or post. Xrefs can be excluded and attribute columns can be combined.
• ExportToTemplate: Zone export only runs when the checkbox is enabled, and the export now includes a totals row.
• Template Export: New Excel export window and a simplified legend menu when placing in paperspace.
• CURVEARRAY: Works correctly in a rotated UCS, respects the minimum width, and no longer loads large numbers of objects unnecessarily.
• RELXREF: No longer requires a selection and now also works with unloaded files.
• QuickSettings: Redesigned window with extra nextpoint settings.
• CNTSV2: Now also works with .xlsm templates, fills the header row from DWGPROPS, and hiding columns can be undone again.
• SCADLIB — blocks containing Civil objects: Blocks containing BricsCAD Civil objects are refused on insert. Such blocks crashed BricsCAD as soon as an insert of them was erased; use the standard INSERT command in that case.
• COUNTLIST — switching drawings: The window stays open when you switch drawings and follows the active one.
• SCREPLACE: Replacing with a block of the same name works again, and picked attribute values are copied along.
• UNDO: Fixed a rare case where a single UNDO reverted several edits at once.
• Mid between two points (M2P): Fixed a bug where, during inserts from SCADLIB (including magnet blocks) and in Copy/Move, the block landed on the last click instead of on the midpoint; a typed coordinate is also honoured for magnet blocks.
• Section (INSERTSECTION): New settings for the layer of the section texts and for whether the section symbols of the other sections are placed in each viewport.
• Update check: The old update method has been removed and replaced with a new one.
• MATERIALMAP: AUTOSNAP and OSMODE are restored after the command.
• SCIAEXPORT: Beam properties can come from a blocklist (a row can also target one colour inside a block), hinges come from the template, and the blocklist is merged into one combined mathlist. A missing Layer column is added, blank lines are removed from the template, and the export stops with a message when a cross-section is missing from the XML template.

CQ (Experimental):
New way of copying that is much faster in most scenarios, but still has some bugs when the viewport is rotated or zoomed while dragging.

ATTTOPLAN:
Makes attributes readable from the top view, regardless of the rotation of the block they belong to.

CHANGEPOLYLINESTART:
Changes the start point of an existing polyline. It is best suited for closed polylines, but open polylines are supported too.

DMXSETID:
Automatic DMX fixture ID assignment with flexible numbering modes (selection order, horizontal, vertical). Replaces the old LISP version.

COUNTLISTATT:
Countlist with attribute override mode. Attribute values override CADBASE values. Blocks are grouped based on these values.

Option in Quicksettings to automatically move BAK files to a temp folder. BESAVE now also makes a backup to the temp folder.

SelectionFilter:
Fixed a bug where SelectionFilter was not applied right away on first use via Quicksettings.

Copy/Move:
The dynamic distance display did not work properly when the block was copied to a different Z height.

Copy:
After placing at least 1 copy, the ‘Continue’ option becomes available. It lets you keep copying in the same direction. This works for any combination of X, Y and Z movement. Blocks with a POINT on the 001-INSERTION layer now also get the Next Point option during Copy, to quickly change the base point. This already worked for Move and for inserting from the library. FlipY now also works while copying. Fixed a bug where UNDO removed all copies instead of only the last one. Added a fallback for copying viewports.

Magnet Insert:
Inserting and copying a magnet block is now significantly faster in drawings with underlays that contain many different entities.

COUNTLIST:
Significantly faster counts in large drawings and with large databases. Added a dropdown for alternative export formats/layouts, e.g. Rentbuddy.

SCGEO AHN BAG:
Fixed a bug where the AHN BAG was set to Z=0 when the ‘Force buildings to Z = 0’ checkbox was ticked.

SCSHOWALL/SCSHOWALLGLOBAL:
Fixed a bug where SCSHOWALL/SCSHOWALLGLOBAL did not work in drawings with more than 10000 associative hatches.

ATTEXPORTEXCEL:
When Excel is not installed, the Excel file is created in the drawing’s folder.

MB (MAKEBLOCK):
Added a default lowerleft point so you can just press Enter.

Version 9.2

Version 9.2 · New

SCGRIDV2:
Faster and easier to use than the old SCGRID, but still lacks one display option. It will eventually replace SCGRID.

ATTEXPORTEXCEL:
When exporting attributes with ATTEXPORTEXCEL, a unique ID is now added to the blocks so changes to the Excel sheet can be imported again. You are also asked for an optional template. Only attributes found in the template are exported.

ATTIMPORTEXCEL:
Imports an Excel sheet that was exported with ATTEXPORTEXCEL. The attribute values from the Excel file are applied to the drawing.

Version 9.2 · Improvements

Increased stability for the Block Editor
Certain elements (xref linetypes, visual styles, text styles) were always copied to the Block Editor. This is now off by default and can be turned on in the QUICKSETTINGS menu.

Improved Quicksettings

• Quicksettings now saves changes automatically when you close it.
• BlockeditorSettings added to Quicksettings to control which objects are copied.
• Fixed dark tooltip text for better readability.

SCADLIB

• Added support for a custom icon folder in SCADLIB. Put the custom icons, named after the blocks, in the folder ‘C:\ProgramData\SCAD Re-Event\Custom Icons’.
• ORTHOMODE was not always restored correctly to its old value.
• Fixed a bug where page names were not shown correctly in the Edit Order menu.

FaceToPoly:
Added an offset option.

SCGEO
Added new items (vegetation object (usually a tree), pole, mast and sign) when downloading the custom BGT data. They are inserted as blocks in the drawing if the matching blocks are found (boom.dwg, mast.dwg, etc.).

MVREXPORT
Fixed a bug where the Adresses attribute was used on export instead of the Address attribute.

CXB/CYB/CZB
Fixed a bug where the distance was not applied correctly when entered with two points.

Other Minor Changes and Fixes

• Minor bug fixes in TextGenInsert, PointstoMesh and CurveArray.
• NOSELECTLOCKEDLAYERS, NOISELECTXREFS and FORCEOSNAPZ now show more clearly whether they are already activated.

Version 9.1

Version 9.1 · New

COPYINC When copying a block with attributes, a menu appears with the option to designate an attribute that should be incremented with each copy. This includes increment, prefix, and suffix options.

ATTFILTER Shows all blocks in the drawing that contain attributes. Then allows filtering by attribute or value, with the result being directly selected in the drawing.

FINDSEAT Is essentially ATTFILTER, but only shows blocks containing the string “scadseat”.

GPSINSPL Asks for an increment so that numbers increase by, for example, 10, allowing space to manually insert a point later.

LTTEXT: Asks for a text and then creates a Linetype with that text in it.

SELVIS: For quickly selecting blocks with the same visibility state.

MAKEBLOCK/MB: Creates a block from the selection after entering the insertion point and name.

SELECTMATCHINGBLOCKS: For selecting similar blocks, regardless of name. It looks at the same global dimensions and number of sub-blocks.

DELLINESBYLENGTH: Removes all lines shorter than the entered length. Can be useful for cleaning up a FLATSHOT of a complex block, for example.

SETMISSINGMATERIALSTOGLOBAL: Sets the material to ‘Global’ for entities without an assigned material.

Open Street Map: Two new commands, LOADOSM and LOADOSMNOHATCHES to load a .OSM export from https://www.openstreetmap.org.

LINKMVRSELECTION: Links the selected block and MVR $Fixtureblock to each other, and fills in the block name in the FIXTURE attribute.

Changes:

SCBEDIT: Ortho setting is now included. Custom visual styles are now correctly active in the block editor. The block editor no longer works when BLOCKEDITLOCK is set.

C(opy)/M(ove): The distance is now dynamically displayed when dynamic input is on. Locking an entered distance can be done with TAB. A distance of 0 unlocks it.

SCGEO: The URLs of the various geo services are no longer hardcoded but are now online. Therefore, no hotfix is needed to adjust these when they change.

SCADLIB: The ‘Edit Database Values’ menu has been renewed. When inserting a block in a custom UCS, the block was not rotated correctly around the UCS Z-axis.

SELSIMLINES: Finding lines of the same length is now much faster in large drawings.

MVREXPORT: Fixed a bug where overlapping fixture IDs were found that didn’t exist.

Version 9.0

Favorites in SCADLIB: By right-clicking on an icon in the library, a block can be placed in favorites. The favorites appear at the top of the library. Multiple pages can be created.

SLICEFACE: Cuts a “slice” from a 3D solid with a specified thickness. For example, to make sheet material from a solid object.

LINESELECT and LINESELECTBLOCKS: Selects all objects or only blocks that intersect a (poly)line. Same as the Fence option in normal selection, but with an existing line that can be used multiple times.

ATTINC: Sums the attributes of blocks. The command asks to select a number of blocks of which an attribute should be numbered. Then a prefix can be entered, plus a starting number and increment. The order is then determined by a polyline, the attribute counts up from the beginning of the polyline to the end.

SCRENAMELAYERS: Renames the layers using a simple CSV list. The list must have 2 columns with ‘Old name;New name’. When the new name is ‘Delete’, the layer and all objects on the layer are removed.

DRAWORDERBYLIST: Sets the drawing order of all objects based on a list of layer names.

SHOWDUPBLKEXT: New command that selects all blocks with the same name and bounding box (extents). This includes mirrored blocks that completely overlap each other. Keep in mind that blocks that do not completely overlap visually may still have the same bounding box.

CopyAttributes: New command that quickly copies attribute values between two blocks.

SCGEO:
Downloading BGT files was no longer working properly due to changes on the BGT server.
Fixed a crash that occurred when canceling the aerial photo downloads.

MirrorCheck: Adjusted reading of CSV file, now uses the list separator set in Windows.

DMXAutoID:
Sorting of blocks in UCS now works properly.
Instead of only blocks with exactly the same name, now all blocks that start with the block name set in DMXSETTINGS are found.

MVREXPORT: Overlapping IDs are now found and displayed when exporting in a warning menu.

SCADLIB: The insert layer was not always used correctly.

Database:
Loading of the database and custom database did not go entirely well in specific cases.
After removing a block from the database and reloading it, the block is no longer counted.

SELECTINSIDEPOLYLINE: Now works properly in UCS.

SELLBLBKATT: Now also works when attributes are not unique.

Version 8.3

CreateCustomLibrary: New command that allows specifying a folder to create a custom library. The subfolder structure becomes the library structure in the SCADLIB menu.

Magnets: Now work better in UCS.

SCINSERTMAGNETBLOCK: New command to insert a magnet block via the command line (for use with macros), among other things.

SCGEO :
Width and height of the frame are now rounded in the menu.
The menu now includes an expandable Google Maps map. Right-click on an area and click on the coordinates to fill them in the menu. With import, the selected map layers are then imported. See the image below for an example.
Custom BGT features now come on separate layers (BGT layer + feature name).
AHN version increased to 2020.
Optimized memory usage.
Renewed URLs.
Issues with scripts in the browser have been resolved.

COUNTLIST :
Pre-selection now works properly.
Sorting is now always based on the selected column in the column settings (SETLIB > Columns).
The total row is now always visible at the bottom, even after sorting.
Faster counting in drawings with many objects not contained in a block.
General speed improvements.

SCADLIB :
When inserting a block in paperspace, it appeared in modelspace coordinates.
Some pages with dummy icons were not loaded correctly or at all.
When searching, not all matching results were always displayed.

LINEARRAY: The linearray menu displays each speaker individually, allowing adjustment of each individual angle.
A linearray can now be edited afterwards: deleting, adding, and adjusting angles is now possible on existing arrays.

DMXINSERT : Blocks are now scaled correctly..
DMXAUTOID : New command for quickly assigning ID’s to a grid of blocks.
DMXAUTOIDCIRCLE : New command for quickly assigning ID’s to blocks in a circle.

MVRExport :
Bug fixed where saving to Dropbox sometimes caused issues.
Rotations are now correctly exported.

MVRImport :
Meshes are now also imported.

MODELCHECK :
Intersecting lines were not always all found.
Inserted arrows are now scaled correctly.

LEGEND : Inserting a legend in paperspace with UCS active in modelspace now works correctly.

RELXREF : Bug fixed where the relative path was not always saved correctly.

ReplaceBlocksGlobal: Blocks were not always added to the correct layer.

Version 8.1

CURVEARRAY:
Bug fix, placing fences on a line sometimes didn’t work correctly when working in millimeters or meters alternately.
Selecting a rotated block gave inaccurate results.
Placing objects along a line in RD coordinates did not always work correctly.

CREATECUSTOMLIBRARY: Creates a library based on a folder structure. A .CSV file is created in, and with the name of, the selected folder.

BESAVE/BECLOSE: The correct document is now activated after closing a block.

Copy: Bug fix with dynamic blocks.

C/CX/CY/CZ: Bug fix, no more REGEN required.

COUNTLIST: If Excel cannot be invoked during Excel export, the XLSX file is directly saved in the drawing’s folder.

COUNTLIST: Bug fix. Importing TXT updated the totals in the menu, but not in the Excel export.

Magnets: Inserting and copying parts with magnets is now (much) faster in large drawings.

RZC: New command that rotates and copies blocks at a specified angle around the block’s grip point.

STPLAN: Now asks for a start number to allow multiple tables to be used in a (main) drawing.

MVRIMPORT: Adjustment to rename invalid block names instead of giving an error message.

SCADLIB: Bug fix. If the menu was hidden during insertion (using the Hide window during insert option) and it reappears, it may not display the most recently used icons (but the top ones).

Version 8

SCBEDIT The block editor (SCBEDIT) now works without menus when saving the block. BESAVE now has two options, Update and Save. Save saves the block in the drawing where it is opened and closes the block, Update also saves the block but keeps the drawing open. BESAVE does not work if there are open blocks (the Update option does work). Everything must be closed from bottom to top. Or, from the drawing tabs perspective, from right to left.

In the above image, it can be seen that the Stage block should not be closed if another block (Trap block in this case) is still open.

GPS:

There are several new commands that help to number and place GPS points:

• GPSINSPL places the GPS block (GPS.dwg in the support folder) on a polyline and immediately numbers them in the order of the polyline. So, to place GPS points in a drawing, it is sufficient to draw one or more polylines in a convenient loop direction.
• GPSROUTE Conversely, this command calculates the shortest looping route by drawing a polyline along the selected objects. Then use GPSINSPL to place GPS points on it.
• GPSXYLIST: Creates a CSV file with the XY coordinates and attribute values of the selected block. There is another variant GPSEXPORT in case the GPS device expects a different format.

MVREXPORT / MVRIMPORT: Initial implementation for importing and exporting MVR files.

SCADLIB:

• New ‘Color not in Database’ setting makes the name text of a block not present in the database appear orange.
• Replace block now retains the layer settings.
• When inserting a magnet block, the focus is placed on the drawing screen (and F9 works immediately).

COUNTLIST:

• Sorting of data is now more logical. Texts with numbers are sorted correctly.
• Menu sorting is now included in the export.
• The column name for sorting is now correctly saved and loaded in the next count.
• Legends created with the Legend button now follow the icon settings (Block on or off) and no longer align the text, but follow the table style.
• Blocks with visibility state are now counted correctly as “Block name + Visibility state”.
• When counting more than 1000 blocks, a progress bar is displayed.
• No longer crashes when there is no loaded database.

SCGEO: The following adjustments have been made:

• 3D BAG Terrain: New dataset that imports the Algemene Hoogtekaart Nederland (AHN3) as a mesh. These are large areas, so downloading and importing takes a bit longer.
• Aerial Photos: By default, the most up-to-date, high-resolution photos are now downloaded. These photos are significantly sharper than before.
• 3D BAG Buildings:
  • Meshes are now cleaner with fewer triangles.
  • Bug fixed when downloading certain areas.

SCALEFROMTO: New command that easily scales an object by specifying source and target lengths.

MZA: New command that moves a selection to an absolute height, relative to the grip point.

FASTXYLIST: New command that quickly creates a CSV file with the XY coordinates of the selected block.

CX / CY / CZ: Copying array objects now retains the array data. Previously, they became standard blocks.

LINEWEIGHTPLOT / TRANSPARENCYPLOT: New commands to set lineweight and transparency plotting settings for all layouts at once.

Matrix Export: Matrix option in Countlist: added checkbox to count deeper than the first layer.

DMX Import/Export:

• Now works when a universe contains letters.
• Added XYZ positions.

SCDIVIDE/SCDISTRIBUTE: Selection order is now the same for both commands.

KABLEN:

• Improved cable length determination method.
• No longer gives an error when entering wrong limits.

SENDALL2DSOLIDTOBACK: Now works recursively.

INFO: Improved build date display.

SCREMOTESUPPORT / RS: SCREMOTESUPPORT has not changed, but there is now a new remote support tool (RS). Just because.

MENU: A new menu is loaded (Scad Re-Event V8.cui). The changes are not too significant. If you have extensively customized the menu and would like to revert to your old menu, you can go back using the MENU command and choose Scad Re-Event V7.cui from the C:\SCAD-REV\Menu directory.

Version 7.0

Version 7.0 · New

Dark Theme: SCAD now has a dark theme, which is enabled by default. With this release the library menu has been redesigned to reflect the dark theme. Other menu’s will be redesigned in the coming releases. To switch back to the light theme, set COLORTHEME to 1.

SCADLIB: The library menu has gotten a complete overhaul to make is more modern and user friendly. The pages to the right of the menu are gone and replaced with sections, and all icons now reorder according to the width of the window. Favorite pages are not yet implemented but are planned to be released in a next release. Users that don’t like the new window layout can use the command SCADV5 to open the old library menu.

Modelcheck module: New module that checks for duplicate blocks throughout the drawing. Can be extended with search rules determine the search method (blocks can’t overlap, blocks must overlap, lines cant intersect). This module requires an extended license.

SCIA Export module: New module that exports an XML file that can be imported in SCIA to calculate forces on structures. This module requires an extended license.

Sections module: New module that automates the creation of section drawings. Insert X, Y and Z section blocks and select a viewport on a layout to fill it with sectioned views. This module requires an extended license.

Add/Replace/Rename: Added new wildcard symbol ‘>’ . This symbol removes all text after the > symbol. (for example -copy> finds -copy1, - copy1000 etc. and replaces that text with the specified new text).

• CM/MM: Copy magnets / Move Magnets. To move or copy an object using its magnets these two commands must be used. During moving/copying of a block you have access to a new commands:
• Next magnet: Cycle between magnets in a block.
• Otherblock: Click a new block to quickly switch the block that is being moved/copied.
• Settings: Opens the magnet settings where you can set the layername on which the magnets are placed, and choose whether the snaps are automatically changed for best compatibility.

Added BLKIMPORTV2: Same as BLKIMPORT but with the feature to set the distance between objects.

DWG: 2018 files are now supported.

Cleanscreen: Turns off all ui elements to increase the drawing area to the maximum allowed. Use CLEANSCREENON and CLEANSCREENOFF to turn this on or off. Use CLEANSCREENOPTIONS to enable or disable UI elements.

Rollover Tips: When hovering over an entity, it’s options are now editable.

Layoutmanager: Use the button left to the layouts or the command LAYOUTMANAGER to open a dialog where you can add, remove, find or rearrange layouts.

Lock UI: the LOCKUI command locks all toolbars. Pressing Ctrl overrides the lock and allows you to move them temporarily.

Manipulator: With the manipulator widget all entities are easily moved, rotated, mirrored or scaled. When Ctrl is pressed before moving, a copy is made of the selected entity. Set MANIPULATOR to 1 to show it when entities are selected. Set it to 2 to show the manipulator after holding the mouse button for 250 ms. Or use MANIPULATE to show the manipulator on a selected object.

NAVIGATE: With navigate you can walk or fly through the drawing using the WASD or arrow keys. With F you can toggle between flying or walking. Left click to look around, right click to show options. Manipulate the speed and step size with STEPSPERSEC and STEPSIZE.

To rename a page, right click the page button. Added more detail to the ‘Error parsing menufile’ popup.

Version 4.1 · Known bugs

Install as Administrator: When installing SCAD under a separate administrator account, the user settings are stored in the admin account during installation, which leads to SCAD not loading on start when the application is started under a normal user account. One solution is to elevate a user to administrator and then install SCAD, then demote the user to the appropriate rights.

Missing Xref bug: When opening a drawing with missing Xrefs, the SCAD Re-Event can fail to load. To prevent this, open SCAD Re-Event before opening the drawing.

Version 4.0

Version 4.0 · New

SCADLIB: The library window has been given a complete overhaul. The biggest (and most requested) change is the ability to leave the library open. To make this work properly, the category selection is now present in the window itself. Those working with a single, lower resolution screen might want to check the checkbox “Hide window during insert”. Right-clicking the icons will now open the DWG, while left clicking inserts the block.

LCMENU.csv: The menu paths in lcmenu.csv (and custom lcmenus) are now treated as relative paths, when no drive letter is specified. This means that the LCMenu needs to be placed into the root of the (custom) libray (e.g. C:\SCAD-REV\Library\lcmenu.csv).

SETLIB: It is now possible to add an infinite number of custom libraries and databases.

SCINSERT: Added FlipY as keyword to flip the Yscale to -1 or 1.

AREA: New command to quickly calculate the area and objects per square unit, and add them to the drawing as Mtext. You can add multiple area’s and substract area’s using closed lines or by selecting the corners of an area.

LAYERPANELOPEN/LAYERPANELCLOSE: A layer panel that can be left open has been added to SCAD and can be used with the commands LAYERPANELOPEN and LAYERPANELCLOSE. These commands will replace LAYERPALETTE.

LAYWALK/LAYWALKISOL: With LAYWALK You can quickly turn on/off different layers, or show them one by one. With LWAYWALKISOL, the entities are isolated depending on if they are drawn on the selected layer.

NOSELECTLOCKEDLAYERS: When activated, this command will prevent the user from selecting entities on locked layers.

3DCOMPARE: New command to compare two drawings with 3D solids and surfaces and highlight differences.

ANIPATH: Quickly record and save a movie by selecting a path for the camera to move along and a point for the camera to look at.

ERASE: You can now erase edges and faces of 3d solids and surfaces.

EXTRUDE/LOFT/SWEEP/REVOLVE: Surface entities can now be created from open and closed curves

Tabbed Dockable Panels: Some panels can now be dropped onto other panels, creating tabs to switch between the panels.

EXPORTPDF: Export to PDF is now a separate command.

GRID: The grid lines are now transparent, making them less intrusive.

Visual Style Switch: Switching between visual styles is now much faster.

3DSNAPS: You can now snap to face intersections when 3D Entity snap is turned on (Does not work in the wireframe visual style)

Version 4.0 · Fixed

SHOWMENU/SCADLIB: SCAD 3.6 already had the new library, called with the command SHOWMENU, for testing purposes. The following bugs were found and fixed:

Fixed some rare crashes Fixed loading icons when no menu.txt was found. Fixed unwanted showing of the library window after cancelling insert Fixed inserting a block with a space in its path. Fixed focus unwantedly changing back to the library window, preventing the use of F9 during insert.

Version 3.0

Version 3.0 · New

SELSIMLINES: Selects all lines that are similar to the one that is picked by the user. Similarity is checked by line area and/or distance. Can be found under Select - Select on the Ribbon.

SELBLKATT: Select all blocks with similar attributes. Blocks can be filtered by attribute keys. Can be found under Select - Select on the Ribbon.

SCFINDBLOCK: Find and highlight all blocks with an exact or partial match with the specified name. Blocks in blocks are also found. To unhighlight the blocks, use the REGEN command. Can be found under Block/Group – Blocks on the ribbon.

CXFAST/CYFAST//CXFASTNEG/CYFASTNEG/SETCXY: CXFAST, CXFASTNEG, CYFAST and CYFASTNEG are mapped under ctrl + arrowkeys and will copy the selected item over a set distance. The first time the command is started after installation of the new update it will ask to enter this distance (default 2072). The distance can then be changed with the SETCXY command. The distance must be set in mm, but will be translated to the insert units when copying. Can be found under SCAD Tools – Scaffolding on the ribbon.

SCDISTRIBUTE: Distributes the selected objects on a line between two user chosen points. The distance between the insertionpoints of the blocks (or centerpoints for entities) is equal, unless “equal distance between objects” is checked. Rotate entities: Rotates the entities to the same angle as the (imaginary) line between the two points. Equal distance between objects: The distance between the X or Y extents of the objects is kept equal. Offset: Custom distance offset at beginning and/or end of line. Can be found under Edit - Arrange on the ribbon.

SCALIGN: Align objects according to their extents (or midpoint) along the X or Y axis. Can be found under Edit - Arrange on the ribbon.

SCBOXMODE: Changes the rendering of all blocks to simple cubes. When a selection is made, the blocks inside the selection are not affected and will be rendered normally. Can be found under View – View on the ribbon.

SCBLOCKTREE: When no selection is made, SCBLOCKTREE shows all Block definitions. When a selection is made, SCBLOCKTREE will show all block references. When a selection is made prior to entering the command, the following options are available: Drag and drop with left mouse button: Moves the block to another block. Drag and drop with right mouse button: Copies the block to another block. ‘Delete’ key: Deletes the selected block.

Moving and copying the block to other blocks may affect its position in the drawing as the internal position of the block is used in the new block. Can be found under Block / Group – Blocks on the ribbon.

LAYERPALETTE: Show a palette with all layers and layer states. WARNING: Changes made to the layers via the conventional layer dropdown list are not affected in the palette, unless the palette is refreshed by calling the command again! Clicking the name of a layer will make it active. Double click the name of layer to edit its name. Click the “New” button to create a new layer. Can be found under Home – Layers on the ribbon.

LEGEND: Adds a legend with all selected blocks and their information from the database. Can be found under Block / Group – Blocks on the ribbon.

SETSCISOM: Sets horizontal and vertical angle for SCISOM command (page down). Can be found under View – View on the ribbon.

SCUPDATECHECK: Checks the updateserver on startup if there is a newer version of SCAD Re-Event available for download.

Version 3.0 · Fixed

RENAMEBLOCK/RB: Renameblock is now case sensitive.

CX/CY/CZ MX/MY/MZ: Entering 0 as distance will use the entity’s geometric extents.

SCADLIB: A custom database can now be used alongside the main database. Added checkbox for inserting into the current layer, overriding the CADBASE defined layer. Blocks will now show their insert color while inserting/attached to the cursor.

LEGEND: Added a standard blockcount column.

SELECT: All selection commands (Found under Select – Select on the ribbon) can now be used during other commands, and will no longer cancel the current active command. This may not work during every command, but M(ove), C(opy), MX/Y/Z, CX/Y/Z and RX/Y/Z are supported.

Interface: All new commands added to the ribbon. Updated ISOLATE, SHOWALL, and SHOW PREVIOUS buttons in Block/Group – Group on the ribbon to use the correct commands. Added Background Grey button Renamed “Object Align” to “Dynamic align on curve” Added new Solid editing commands to ribbon. Added 2 Quick Hatch commands to quickly create a solid hatch. Found under Draw > Quick Hatch (click the arrow/text to expand) > Hatch entity / Hatch Point.

Version 3.0 · Fixed

POSTCALC: Optimized code, is now much faster (most noticeable on bigger drawings).

SCADLIB: Will now work correctly even when one menufile is corrupt or not correctly formatted. BLOCKINFO TAB: Values shown in blockinfo are now correctly formatted on computers with a comma as a decimal separator. CALCULATE (BLCOKINFO TAB): When no blocks are found within the database no values are shown (instead of an empty list). “Last” button will now correctly show the last page and tab. Keep in mind that these are only saved when a block is inserted.

Truecolors (RGB values) are now supported when inserting from SCADLIB.

SELALL (Ctrl-A): SELALL now only selects the objects on the active layout.

SCBEDIT: Editing block with an asterisk (*) in their name cannot be saved with BESAVE, and are therefore no longer accessible with the block editor. Clicking on a dimension would pop up the container window, but when the dimension was chosen the command would result in a “layer is locked” error. Dimensions are now ignored by the blockeditor as these are not editable blocks. Some Autocad blocks would become dynamic when inserted and were therefore uneditable with the blockeditor. Opening dynamic blocks is now supported, however the dynamic block settings of real dynamic blocks will probably be lost. Use with caution.

LOFTX: Fixed bug where LOFTX couldn’t be used more than once, except when REGEN was called.

C2/M2 (C/M, Move Copy): Sometimes when moving/copying objects the default draggingpoint was not the refpoint of the block. Sometimes the object would snap to the snappoint, regardless of which coordinates are typed in by the user. Reverted copying/moving of locked entities. Entities on locked layers are now ignored. When undoing changes made by C2 the copies will now be undone one by one, instead of all copies made at the same time.

CX/Y/Z MX/Y/Z: Values for X, Y and Z are now remembered separately.

SCBEDIT (BLOCKEDITOR): Fixed rare exception that would happen when using BESAVE for the first time on a new installation.

STACKOVERFLOW: Fixed the stackoverflow bug that would occur when using SCAD Re-Event for an extended period.

CONVSEG: Removed display of coordinates in the editor.

RX/RX/RZ: Default rotation angle is now 90° instead of 0°.

CURVEARRAY: Fixed disappearing array when the same block is used to create 2 or more arrays.

Other fixes/additions:

Added an automatic update check that checks for a newer version of SCAD Re-Event on startup. When an update is found, a message will be displayed every time on startup until SCAD is updated. When ‘Remind me Later’ is clicked, the message will be suppressed for 30 days.

Known issues:

.Net 4.6: Several commands will not work properly when .Net 4.6 is installed. A fix is available and is applied during installation of SCAD Re-Event V3. Decimal separator needs to be set to a dot in Windows language settings.

Removed commands:

C2072: C2072 used a fixed distance of 2072. To do this with V3.0 use SETCXY to set the distance to 2072 and use CXFAST/CYFAST, or ctrl + arrow keys to move/copy the entities.
