The Engineering Base development team is actively engaged in the creation of the next version.
Apart from the easy integration of other tools, the users can look forward to a considerable number of interesting innovations.
Some of the most important features: The main emphasis with this step is on the increased efficiency of graphics editing.
An essential portion is concerned with the handling of connections.
When placing or moving symbols, Engineering Base at first behaves as usual; if one however presses the Once you drop the symbol, the required connections are automatically created and even adapt their line type (e.g semicolon for PE) to the connection to which they are connected.
Moreover when moving a symbol with Especially with rapid copying and modifying, one of the major advantages of Engineering Base, drawings can thus extremely rapidly be adapted to new conditions.
Multiple symbol assignment and placement offers much faster and simpler editing.
If a user has e.g alphanumerically predefined a terminal strip and wishes now to use terminals from this strip in a diagram, he will now be able to simultaneously check several terminals in the item tree and to assign all of them to symbols in one step.
It is even possible to assign different device types at once to the graphic, since Engineering Base automatically finds hitherto unassigned matching symbols and links them to the device object.
Multiple placement is especially interesting for the cabinet layout.
When several devices are checked in the tree or the list and the universal cabinet layout symbol is then dragged onto the diagram, then Engineering Base places all devices as properly scaled symbols in the diagram.
Another topic of the current development concerns the intelligent management of cables.
The already comfortable cable management with the Engineering Base cable wizard is now extended to include intelligent handling of cable destinations.
Cables can be assigned destinations both alphanumerically via the appropriate selection aids and graphically from the single-line diagram.
It is up to the user to decide into what detail he wants to go, whether by means of location specification or with a precise pointer to a device that is to be connected to the cable.
Thus cables and their destinations can be defined early on and can be output as lists long before the wiring details are fixed.
When cores from this cable are later on used in the circuit diagram, Engineering Base checks the core and cable destinations for consistency and generates warnings if applicable.
