ProStructures (ProSteel and ProConcrete) V8i SELECTseries 3 (08.11.03.35) 64 bit.

This release includes the following:

• Support of AutoCAD 2008 - 2010
• Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / 7 - 64 bit

What is new:

• Support of AutoCAD 2010 - 64 bit
  
  
• 
  
  
  
  
• All former VB tools are now VB.Net.
• Though ProStructures will support the 64 bit AutoCAD platform much better, it is much faster and there is no need to install the VB tools from Autodesk anymore.
• CIS/2 (CIM-Steel) interface (only for steel)
• PreCast detailing
  
  
  
  
• US Stick Drawings with enhanced display features for bracings / enhancements in overview / engineering drawings
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Enhanced Dimensioning / Display Rule Settings (Display Classes / Relative Part Position)
  
  
• Detail Center - Object List
  In the past the browser list collapsed each time if a modifation was done, i.e. if a Detail Style has been loaded. This list won't do that anymore.
  
  
• Web Grating - Direction Marker
  To determine the main direction of a plate / grating it is possible now to show a "direction marker".
  
  
• Stairs / Handrails
  An option to insert the connection plate of the handrail in stairs for sloted holes has been added.
  
  
• Detail Center: Display "Direction" of Endplates
  In the detail center options the display direction of endplates has been enhanced.
• Cope: Error when last Cope doesn't fit
  ProStructues saves the last settings of a dialog. If a cope has been created and then following cope wouldn't "fit", an error accured because the new cope wouldn't work. In the past the "template files" had to be deleted manually to make it work, now there is an option to do that automatically.
  
  
• Modifications / Update of Position Number Dialog
  It is now possible to avoid this dialog for all objects which have been modified.
