EPLAN Preplanning

Connection planning objects
When updating cable planning objects and when placing macros which are stored at cable planning objects, the sequence of already placed cable cores was changed. This has been corrected.
Pipings in the pre-planning
If the popup menu item Update detailed planning was executed for piping planning objects and the Update piping data setting was activated in the subsequent dialog, this could result in a faulty display of the flow direction. This has been corrected.
Creation of the detail planning
When project pages were generated by placing page macros from the pre-planning navigator, conductors were subsequently no longer assigned to the cable in the macro. This has been corrected.

EPLAN Platform

Macros
If a macro which was generated as a protected group was copied and pasted on a schematic page, an unexpected error message occurred. This has been corrected.
Reports
If placeholder texts with specific formatted properties were used in the forms, no values were displayed for the placeholder texts after the reporting. This has been corrected.
Labeling
During the output of labeling data for the report type "Summarized parts list" no data was output for a terminal marked on a project page. This has been corrected.
Browser window
In the browser window of the EPLAN Data Portal, the shortcut keys for copying and inserting/pasting ([Ctrl] + [C] and [Ctrl] + [V]) only functioned unreliably. This has been corrected.
User interface
If a multiple selection was made in the graphical editor and the popup menu item Synchronize selection was selected, problems could occur when the message management was open. This has been corrected.
Placeholder objects
Under certain conditions no part selection could be executed in the placeholder objects for variables which are assigned to part numbers. This has been corrected.
PDF export
During a PDF export of a project page with the setting "Archiving format PDF/A" images that were located in the project directory were not included in exporting. This has been corrected.
Browser window
The Chromium component "CefSharp" has been updated to the current version 86.0.241. This component is used for the display of contents in the browser windows of the EPLAN platform (for example EPLAN Data Portal, EPLAN Cogineer, etc.).

EPLAN Pro Panel

Views
If a mounting rail was placed in a layout space on a user-defined rail, the drill holes of the mounting rail were not displayed in the output 2D drilling view. This has been corrected.
Model views
During the "Generate project reports", new pages of the type "Model view" were generated under certain conditions without the old pages already generated being deleted. This has been corrected.
3D mounting layout
If the mounting point was selected while placing a cut-out on a mounting point in the subsequent selection list, an unexpected error message occurred. This has been corrected.
Master data for EPLAN Pro Panel
By default subdirectories are not considered anymore when searching for outlines during the master data synchronization. As a result the performance while synchronizing master data has improved.
3D mounting layout
When placing terminals with accessories on a terminal strip in the layout space, the sequence of the accessories is now considered correctly again.
Routing connections
The routing of connections now also functions again when only the busbar connection points (adapter) are marked in the layout space from the items "Terminals" and "Busbar connection points" which are connected to each other in the multi-line schematic.
Numbering
Items in the layout space (for example cable ducts, mounting rails, etc.) with the same DT for which no associated 2D functions exist, are now renumbered during offline numbering.

EPLAN API

Scripts
If an action with an "ActionCallingContext" was inserted in a script as a parameter, this resulted in a message. This has been corrected.

The latest update to the EPLAN Platformis making it both fit for the future and even easier for you to use. One of these things is a new concept, making the compilation of the add-on modules for the EPLAN Platform solutions even more transparent.

EPLAN Pro Panelgives you a stable foundation for automating and industrialising your panel building. It enables 3D design and construction of control cabinets, switchgear systems and power distribution systems for energy distribution. EPLAN Pro Panel provides you an integrated solution for control cabinet design.

Use creating master data in a macro project to change the hierarchy structure of the components in the Installation Space Navigator - by simply using drag & drop.
