    COMPATIBILITY Performance improvements
    WITH REBARCAD
    A range of improvements have been made to ensure that the application continues to function at an
    V9.01
    adequate speed even following prolonged periods of intensive usage. Defects that were impeding the
    AUTO-COMBINE performance of specific parts of the product have been resolved so as to offer a more responsive
    FEATURE user experience.

    DEFINING THE
    RELEASE COLOR
    Addition data integrity checks
    HIGHLIGHT BARS We have extended the RebarCAD Check Database command to confirm the integrity of all data
    IN DRAWING shown within the new v9 bar list. If this audit detects any inconsistencies then it will attempt to
    FEATURE automatically rectify the problem. This extension follows detection of some isolated defects that have
    subsequently been resolved in this release.
    OSNAP FIX
    RMS
    PRODUCTION Compatibility with RebarCAD v9.01
    OUTPUT This service pack will seamlessly update your current v9.01 installation with no need for any
    SOULE additional customization. The program will automatically migrate any of your existing configuration
    PRODUCTION files. RebarCAD v9.01 drawings can be opened within v9.02 with no additional considerations.
    OUTPUT Drawings produced with v9.02 cannot however be opened within v9.01, so we advise all users to
    IMPROVEMENTS update to v9.02. The Save As v8.4 feature has been retained so as to offer a complete range of
    drawing sharing options.

    AREA DETAILER Highlight bars in drawing feature
    IMPROVEMENTS You can now locate bars in the drawing directly from the bars list. A new “Highlight Bars in Drawing”
    command has been added to the formatted bar list right click menu which will identify the selected
    MANY MORE bars within the drawing. This reduces the need to scan for bar labels within the drawing or to use the
    FIXES AND RebarCAD Select Bar and Highlight Bar commands
    MINOR
    ENHANCEMENTS
    HAVE BEEN
    MADE!!!

    You can also select a bar in the drawing and use the right click “Highlight Bars in Bar List” option to
    identify the corresponding lines within the bar list.

    Osnap fix
    Additional checks have been added that should now ensure that OSNAP settings are not repeatedly
    reset following use of RebarCAD commands or associated functionality.
    RMS production output
    Support for outputting to the Rebar Machines Sales (RMS) format has been reintroduced

    Soule production output improvements


    You can now order multiple releases to a single Soule (SLE) file. This output has also been extended
    to identify tapered ranges so that they can be grouped appropriately with the Soule system itself. We
    have also added an additional configuration item that enables users to control whether diagram data
    is exported for standard bend types.

    Improved drawing sheet configuration retention


    The way you save your title block configuration has been improved to remove the need to save to a
    specific XML file and then to Write Prototype Settings. You are now offered just simple Apply or
    Cancel options. “Apply” will automatically save your title block configuration settings for all future
    drawing sessions. “Cancel” will instruct the program to never query if this block is a title block ever
    again.
    Abbreviated tapered range reporting
    Linear tapered ranges can now be shown in an abbreviated format in the bar list on drawing and
    within printed reports. As shown below:

    aSa production output file naming improvements


    You can now configure both a prefix for the aSa output filename and which file extension should be
    used by default.

    CSF production output header dialog


    Drawing details can now be reviewed and specified at the point of outputting to any of the CSF
    production output formats. The program now also warns if the release description includes any
    commas because this can damage the integrity of the output.
    Locked lines issuing improvements
    A range of improvements have been made in respect of the issues and revision system. Most notably
    in respect of the formatting and combining bars following previous issuing.

    ADL (intelligent leader) improvements


    If you are a user of the AutoCAD Dimension Leaders (ADL) feature then you will find numerous
    improvement to the operation of this feature

    Improved defaulting of release and drawing sheets


    All dialogs that offer a selection of drawing sheets or releases will now be defaulted more helpfully.
    These improvements should reduce the need to reselect (e.g.) the current drawing sheet when
    entering the bar list.

    Match bars fix


    A defect that resulted in the inappropriate updating of bars marks following use of the match bars
    command has been resolved. (e.g. previously if bar marks 05 and 201 could be matched then the
    program would inappropriately update both bars to bar mark 201. It now updated both to 05.)

    The bar list on drawing can now show an alternate sizes columns
    The program will now show a bar list on drawing with an alternate bar size column if used

    Weight summary by grade/size and segregated by release


    A report template is now shipped with the product that summarizes weight by grade/size and release

    Automatic checking and updating of V8 DEF files


    We have discovered that use of old v8 DEF files with v9 can cause additional performances/stability
    issues so a feature has been added that will check the DEF file currently in use and give you the
    opportunity to automatically migrate this to be fully compatibility with v9.
    Fix to member, release and drawing sheet corruption problem
    We have resolved a problem where closing AutoCAD from the (x) close button within the top right of
    the application could cause errors messages about members, release and/or drawing sheets to
    appear.

    CADS-USA Toolbar added as standard


    The useful CADS-USA toolbar has now been included in the RebarCAD installation.

    Area detailer improvements


    The Area Detailer has been updated to more effectively detail complex outlines and to place
    annotation more clearly. Support for the improved AutoCAD Dimension Leader (ADL) feature means
    presentation quality can be achieved much more quickly.

    Many more fixes and minor enhancements have been made!!!


    A raft of other fixes and minor improvements will also be included in this release. You can review a
    more comprehensive list of fixes and improvements from the installed Release Notes document.
