Version 4.4.5 from 05.03.2024
Improvements since version 4.4.4:
Optimization of the new Excel test report template: The last published test report template ELIAS_Report_2024.xltx has been split into two template variants. ELIAS_Report_2024.xltx now has a maximum scope of 1,000 possible characteristics; the previous scope of 8,000 characteristics is represented by ELIAS_Report_Max_2024.xltx. The background to this is that the smaller template is now only 3.4 MB in size (compared to 12.4 MB for the larger template), loads significantly faster and is sufficiently comprehensive in most cases.
In addition to minor formal improvements, the drawing of check dimension frames in the requirement can now also be switched off via an option on the Report worksheet.
See In the Excel file, the description on the Info worksheet.
An error in the Excel test report template ELIAS_Report_2023.xltx has been fixed. Missing rows have been added to the PPF worksheet.

Version 4.3.3 from 07.12.2023
Improvements since version 4.2.12:
Enhancement of the filter function: Filters can now be saved with names. This makes them available in other projects with just a few clicks. In addition, a filter is applied directly to the entire project and no longer needs to be set individually for each sheet.
Furthermore, several individual exports can be triggered for each export process, taking into account selected filters. For example, if an export is triggered using two filters, two individual filtered files or groups of files are exported.
See User Manual > User interface > Function window
Edit filters > Edit filters
Representation of angles: Angles can now be specified either in decimal (example: 1.5°) or in sixty system notation (degrees, minutes, seconds; example: 1°30'). By default, the notation from the drawing is used when stamping. Optionally, this can (still) be converted to decimal notation. Numerical values used for calculations are still exported in decimal format.
See User Manual > Settings > Settings > Characteristic > “Number format” group
Read test plan attributes directly from the drawing: By right-clicking on a drawing entry, texts can be set directly as an attribute in the general data of the test plan version or copied to the clipboard.
See User Manual > Functions > Test plans > Edit test plan > Additional test plan data
New Excel test report template: The ELIAS_Report_Max_2023.xltx template provides two major new features. Characteristics can be repeated according to an adjustable number, for example to map cavity part inspections. Furthermore, the characteristic requirement, the short description of the characteristic, is displayed with extended graphical symbols, for example geometric (shape and position tolerance) information in indicator frames.
See In the Excel file on the Info worksheet
The stamp with specification function has been expanded to include the Ra and Rz classes. Surface specifications that are no longer ISO-compliant - which do not contain the Ra or Rz surface codes - can now be stamped correctly with a single click.
See User Manual > Functions > Characteristics > Stamp with preset
For stamping, you can set that characteristics are either always created, only created for individual stamping or never created, depending on their properties. This could already be set for the stamping of features in the auxiliary dimension and theoretically exact dimension categories. The categories of raw measurement and test measurement have now been added. It is now also possible to specify that no general tolerances are to be applied for raw measurements.
See User Manual > Settings > Settings > Characteristic > “Variable characteristics” group
The Bulgarian language has been added.
The automatic recognition of characteristics has been improved.
Other areas of the software have been optimized.

Version 4.2.9 from 17.10.2023
Improvements since version 4.2.3:
Move stamps as a group and align them to the grid: After right-clicking on several selected stamps (start function in context menu), these or their target points can now be moved as a group. In addition, one or more stamps as well as target points can be aligned to a grid while moving them with the CTRL key additionally pressed.
Case-by-case decision when selecting the general tolerance class for angles: Optionally, the default setting for the general tolerance class (column) of angles can be set to Do not assign automatically. As a result, for newly created general tolerance angle characteristics, the corresponding characteristic property is left open. With a marking and highlighting in the characteristics list as well as in the Characteristics Properties window, the user is prompted to select the appropriate tolerance class subsequently.
Note Background: General angle tolerance classes are usually determined by the shortest angle leg. This information comes from the context of the drawing and cannot be determined automatically.
See User Manual > Settings > Project settings > Tolerance tables > “Angular measurements” group
Alternative renderer for display in the drawing window: As an alternative to the default renderer, the GDI renderer can now be used if no DirectX runtime (with Direct3D enabled) is available.
See User Manual > Settings > Settings > “Display” group
Czech was added as another program language.
The speed of the drawing and stamp graphic export has been increased.
Fixed an issue where a UiAccess.json (parameter file to affect user interface accessibility) passed via startup parameter call was not applied. Passed UiAccess parameters are now taken into account again.
