New Features of ELCAD / AUCOPLAN Version 7.7.0 12
1.3.3 Retrospective Editing of Batches
With version 7.7.0 you can now edit batch definitions retrospectively.
In the previous versions the batches had to be created anew if changes were required.
Start the batch editing in the property dialog of the batch.
On the left hand side you can find a mark which indicated which property (line) of the
batch is currently active.
Use the [Change] button in order to specify the active properties anew.
With the buttons [Up] and [Down] you can move the active property in the list upwards and
downwards thus changing the order in the list.
Please note that the first property of a batch has to be a sheet selection.
1.3.4 Freeze and Unfreeze Slave Symbols
By means of freezing you can, e.g., avoid that a contact assigned to a specific contact
number by the evaluation run, is assigned to another contact number by a reset and a reevaluation.
Thus you can explicitly freeze and unfreeze slave symbols evaluated in the item
tree with ELCAD/AUCOPLAN 7.7.0.
Only the data in the symbol which was automatically created by the evaluation is frozen or
unfrozen. You can find the menu item for freezing and unfreezing in the item tree in the
context menu of the right mouse key on an evaluated slave symbol and all superordinated
modes.
Thus you can freeze or unfreeze individual slave symbols, all slave symbols of a device, all
slave symbols of a location and all slave symbols of a project. If the drawing is not opened
the information of freezing / unfreezing is at first stored in the item tree so that the drawings
have not to be opened unnecessarily.
When the drawing is opened or ELCAD is exited the slave symbols are actually frozen /
unfrozen. The different states are indicated in the item tree by several icons.
