Changes in ELCAD/AUCOPLAN 7.3.2 - Service Pack 3 1. Cable Management (9264) If cables were also generated in the evaluation run of cores in the cable management, the additional user attributes of the cores that generated the cables were not adopted from the symbol information. 2. Cabinet Layout (8355) If the reference point of the symbols of components for the cabinet layout was placed at the position centrecentre the position for the rail symbols were miscalculated. 3. Sorting Terminals (9457) If terminals were reset and then re-evaluated caused by changes to the surrounding window symbol, the sorting sequence during evaluation within the window differed from the former sequence. 4. List Editing (9530) If data was written back from the contents table to the drawings the data for the drawing management was misinterpreted if the code numbers 60 64 were not used for the management levels in the drawing forms. 5. List Editing (9182) If the option "Translate Translate References" was not activated for the export of lists to drawings, these texts were not translated in the editing masks for the forms anymore but displayed as translate references only. The texts are now displayed translated in the editing mask for forms. 6. Drawing Editing (9538) If the function "Destination Information" was called via the right mouse button in graphical editing of core symbols a program error occurred if the destination sheet could not be selected. 7. AUCOPLAN (9605) If the project check on drawings was performed in an AUCOPLAN project the program could not be operated anymore if the automatic cross-reference creation for signals was used and a signal representation was defined as source.
Changes in ELCAD/AUCOPLAN 7.3.2 - Service Pack 2 1. PM&CT Design (8978) If it was specified in the configuration that only cross-references within the function diagrams are to be represented at the signals, not all of the possible cross-references were represented under certain circumstances, although sufficient cross-references were defined in the symbol. 2. PM&CT Design (9113) If an import via protocols was performed on PM&CT tables (tags, instrumentations, signals and function groups), these tables were automatically packed under certain circumstances. However, this resulted in an error for this tables since possibly existing graphic links were partially removed. 3. PM&CT Design (9138) If the working method "Automatic Numbering when Placing Macros" was activated in PM&CT design (ini switch AutoMkrCopyInsert=1) and macros with PM&CT symbols were placed so that the connectors of the macros directly met the end of a connection, not all of the PM&CT symbols were linked to the database or a new tag was not created at all. 4. PM&CT Design (9170) If PM&CT macros were placed via the generating interface, the symbol entries of the macro symbols were cleared under certain circumstances. 5. Device Numbering (8976) Numbering devices led to incorrect results on sheets with the formats A0, A1 and A2. 6. Assignment List (8968) When assignment lists were copied via SAVE AS, the protocols of the original assignment list were not copied. 7. Assignment List (8977) When assignment lists were copied via SAVE AS and a different project name was entered or selected, the project was changed or a new project was created inadvertently. 8. SAP (9001) If the switch to delete the import file "DeleteDataFile" in the file E_SAPCF.ini was set to 1, i.e. the switch is activated, the import file was not deleted nevertheless. This error occurred if no relevant data was present in the SAP system and a new import file was not created. 9. ELCAD Studio (9034) Symbols with designations created via the code number 1002 (integrator) could not be manually renamed anymore in ELCAD Studio if the "Greater-than" function (adoption of item designations) was switched on.
10. Cable Planning (9035) If the option "Number Cables" was activated under "Parameters" and "Common" in the project settings of the "Core Numbering", the cores of the cables were not correctly numbered. 11. Terminal Export (9173) If the same terminal number was entered on all levels of multi-tier terminals (two-tier terminals), the terminal numbers were only updated on the first level during the export to the system PHOENIX Clip Project. The old terminal numbers persisted on the successive levels. This resulted in an incorrect sorting on the strip. 12. HCL Export (Beckhoff) (9180) The Beckhoff XML interface has been extended. Extension modules for field boxes can now be created directly via the XML interface in the system manager. In order to use this function, add the code number 12304 to the box symbol. The code number 12304 is used in box symbols to enter the product name of the extension modules of the box. If the program default code number 12304 should not be used, enter another code number in the aucocomp.ini file under the following switch: [MappingCodeNumberSystem1] BoxAdditionalInfo=12304. 13. PDF Output (8541, 8563, 9069) Some features of the PDF output have been optimised.
Changes in ELCAD/AUCOPLAN 7.3.2 - Service Pack 1 1. Item Tree (8848) If the item tree had many entries and the item designation of an object in a drawing was edited, an error message erroneously appeared. This message is not displayed any more. 2. Several Opened project.ini Files (8950) After a project change, several project.ini files were opened. 3. Incorrect Representation of Line Types (8940) During the graphic output via Windows printers (GDI), several line types with small pens (e.g. pen 4 with line type 2) were represented as continuous lines due to round off errors. This bug is now fixed. Two new ini switches have been implemented in addition: [System] GdiUnifiedLineType=1 With this switch you can set, if the pattern length should depend on the pen width or if the pattern length should be equal for all pens. If the switch is set to 0 or not present, the pattern length depends as before on the pen width. If the switch is set to 1, the pattern length is equal for all pens. This is useful for the changeover from HPGL to GDI. The default value is 0, i.e. the old functionality. [System] LineTypePre74=1 With this switch you can set, if the pattern calculation is to be executed according to the old method. If this switch is set to 0 or not available, the pattern calculation is executed according to the new method, i.e. the rounding differences are avoided. If the switch is set to 1, the pattern calculation is executed according to the old method. The default value is 0, i.e. the new functionality. 4. Error on Importing Terminals from the Phoenix Clip Project (8826) If terminal data was exported to the Phoenix Clip Project and terminals were added in the Clip Project, the reimport of the data into ELCAD stopped the program. 5. Generating Parts Lists (8837) If the comment of a device, the windows and the form exceeded 100 characters, generating a parts list resulted in a program crash. 6. Automatic Exchange of Symbols During the Creation of Terminal Diagrams (8827) Terminal symbols the terminal diagram can contain a large number of dialogs, if they are e.g. used to decode the macro definitions of the circuit diagram symbols via the code 1016 and to graphically represent them via macros. This limits the possible number of terminals that can be placed. Since the macros have to be calculated only once, the terminal symbols can be exchanged afterwards for other symbols which do not contain the complex evaluation logic any more but only its result. The dialogs of code number 1016 and the IF..THEN..ELSE instructions can be removed. The content of the other dialogs is then transferred to the remaining dialogs. In order to make the program to automatically execute this function, the code 4022 in which the name of the cut symbol is entered has to be added to the terminal symbols in the terminal diagram form which are located in the code numbers 2030, 2044, 2141 and 2151. The editing function of the right mouse key on cut terminal symbols does not function in service pack 1 any more. This function will be implemented in version 7.4.
7. Delta Manager (8831, 8874) The use of the export function of the delta manager is now correctly possible. 8. SAP-CF General Protection Fault at Exiting ELCAD (8877) If ELCAD was used together with the SAP interface (version 1.2.6 or 1.3.0), exiting ELCAD caused a general protection fault. 9. Drawing Editing (8999) If an entry was created in the mask for external copies (KEA, MA) in the project line, e.g. via "$pro" or "$propath" which was longer than 36 characters, the program crashed.
