Innovations of sPlan 7.0

Here is a list of all essential new features compared with version 6.0:

Parent-Child relations
Components can have a Parent-Child relation. A "parent" knows all his "child’s", and a "child" knows his "parent". This allows a child to get the identifier and the value of his parent. If the parent is changed, the child will change his identifier automatically. This is a big advantage, especially if you are using contactors and contacts or IC's with several gates.

Dimension function
The new dimension function let's you add dimensions for technical drawings. You can place dimensions for distances, radii, diameters or angles.

Banner printing
This new function lets you print your drawing spread over several pages. So you can e.g. create a A2 printout with a normal A4-printer.

Mouse wheel support
sPlan is now using the mouse wheel best possible to zoom and navigate your drawing. You won't use the "zoom-mode" or the scrollbars anymore.

Virtual nodes
These nodes are located in the middle of each line. Just drag them to a new position to create new nodes. This simplifies the editing of polylines.

Linestyles for all elements
There are several linestyles available for all elements, also for bezier curves, rectangles, circles, arcs and polygons.

Change properties of several elements
You can now change the properties of several elements at one go. Just select the desired elements and you can assign all changes to all selected elements.

Centered text
A text can now get a centered alignment. Thus the text will always keep centered, even if the textlength is changing.

Measure mode
This new mode is to measure out your drawing exactly and comfortable.

Scale function
You can define a new scale (e.g. 1:10) and sPlan will consider this scale for all coordinates, dimension, rulers, etc.

New Active-links functions
Active links can be followed for- and also backwards within your project. Even external links e.g. to PDF-documents or websites are possible.

Dot grid
The optional dot grid of sPlan increases the clearness of your drawing.

Sorting function for pages
This new function is very helpful, especially for projects with a lot of pages..

New sPlan-Viewer
The new free viewer-application for opening, viewing and printing sPlan files now supports also the active links within a project. Even a internet-update function is implemented. The viewer supports all files from version 4.0. Of course, this new viewer is also free available.
