Export CAD to PDF: Enhancements and Resolved Issues

In this latest release, we have made significant improvements to our export CAD to PDF feature, addressing several issues and adding new functionality to enhance your overall experience. One of the most notable changes is the active document pop-up that now appears when exporting IFCs. This change aims to provide users with a more streamlined workflow.

Another issue we've addressed is file naming conventions. When using multiple dots in a filename, files are no longer named incorrectly upon export. Additionally, the window to order sheets and views is now resizable, giving you greater control over your export settings.

We have also added support for user-created IFC setups, making it easier than ever to customize your exports. Furthermore, we've resolved an issue with the latest Autodesk IFC Exporter for Revit 2021, ensuring seamless compatibility with this popular software.

In terms of file naming conventions, we've identified and fixed a bug where filenames were being trimmed after a dot (.) when exporting to NWC file format. This change ensures that your files are named accurately and consistently.

We've also made improvements to our Assembly Sheets functionality, making it easier to manage complex projects. Additionally, more environment variables are now available when saving files, providing greater flexibility and customization options.

One of the most exciting new features is the ability to remove sheets/views from export jobs. This means you're no longer limited to exporting all selected sheets/views for every file format – giving you greater control over your exports. You can also right-click on table view headers to add more columns for sheet parameters, such as Current Revision, Issued By, and more.

We've also made some minor tweaks to our user interface, including the addition of an 'Edit Filename' button for better visibility and the automatic setting of column widths to the last one used. Furthermore, we've resolved several other issues, including a bug where A4 paper size was recognized as A4 small and another where custom and advanced IFC settings were not being stored in profiles.

We've also fixed an error that occurred when trying to export PDFs with zero values for faceting factors and another issue that prevented the sheet number from displaying correctly in the 'Order Sheets & Views' window. Additionally, we've resolved a problem where the checkbox column was set to a fixed width and non-resizable.

Finally, we've made it easier to manage your software updates by adding an option to turn off update notifications. This means you can choose when you want to receive updates, rather than being prompted every time one becomes available.

Overall, this latest release of our export CAD to PDF feature includes a range of enhancements and bug fixes designed to improve your workflow, increase productivity, and provide greater flexibility and control over your exports.
