Template Editor improvements
Settings to control rebar pull-out picture creation
Settings to control rebar pull-out picture creation have been added in Application attributes in Template Editor. They are now available as a predefined attribute list for easier selection. Previously, these attributes had to be defined as User attributes by typing in the attribute names and values.
asIf the same attribute is set both as a User attribute and an Application attribute, the Application attribute takes precedence.
Improvement in graphical field output
In Graphical Field Properties, you can now select whether to always output a graphical field (Always visible) or output the field based on a rule defined for the field (Visible). The result of the rule needs to be either true or false.
New string fuctions for changing character case
Two new string functions were added for rules and formulas, tolower(<param>)
and
toupper(<param>)
, which change the character case to lowercase or
uppercase respectively.
Changes in template attributes
There are some new template attributes, and some attributes have changed. For details, see Changes in template attributes.
