|
|
Library, Integration with EPLAN Platform |
Updates on EPLAN Platform Updates made to parts on the EPLAN Platform are now properly detected and propagated to parts in EPLAN Harness proD. This means that, for example, changing a part in EPLAN Platform will allow the part to be easily updated in a Workspace project using the Tools > Update parts from library functionality. |
|
Studio, Integration with EPLAN Platform |
EPLAN Platform import panel usability improvements The project exchange import panel in Studio has received a facelift:
|
|
Studio, Integration with EPLAN Platform |
Loading projects with P8 is faster Studio now loads an EPLAN Electric P8 project only when the EPLAN Platform import panel tab is active, saving unnecessary loading time when opening a workspace that happens to still be connected to a P8 project. |
|
Library, Integration with EPLAN Platform |
EPLAN Platform master data library performance enhancement Working with a EPLAN Platform master data library should now be significantly faster; Especially when opening parts and part categories. |
|
Studio |
Replacing connectors preserves wire bridges When a connector is updated or replaced, existing wire bridges on that connector will be preserved if the new connector contains the appropriate pins. |
|
