Feature: Custom Colors Saved
Colors selected in the Color Picker are now saved. This means that custom colors are retained after a restart and are no longer deleted. This allows you to reuse your custom colors. The last 10 selected colors are saved.
Improvement: "Principle Diagram" Toolbox Revised
The Principle Diagram Toolbox has been revised and new icons added.
Improvement: "Electrical Overall" Toolbox - Missing Icons Added
The missing icons "RTV Outlet" and "RTV Distributor" have been added to the "Electrical Total" Toolbox.
Improvement: Activation Window – Error Message for Missing License Data Adjusted
When attempting to activate a license, users received an imprecise error message if the "Company" or "License Number" fields were left blank. To avoid confusion, the error message has now been adjusted and worded more precisely.
Improvement: DWG/DXF Export – Ellipse Export Adjusted
The ellipse object was not displayed correctly when exported to DWG/DXF, and the accuracy of ellipses in these files was not guaranteed. The export process has been revised to significantly improve the display and precision of ellipses.
Fix: Scaling Background Plan (Plan) - Delete Layer & Visible Area Corrected
When background plans with an inserted delete layer or visible area were subsequently scaled, the positioning of the delete layer and visible area no longer matched the scaling of the background plan. This issue has been resolved.
Fix: Architecture Scenario - Arrow Keys Move Viewport and Objects
When moving objects with the arrow keys, the entire viewport shifted when within the architecture scenario. This issue has been resolved.
Fix: Schematic/Circuit Diagram - Import Assistant Dialog Missing Text
Missing text has been added to the background plan import assistant dialog.
Fix: Properties Window - Minimum Value Not Checked Correctly
The minimum value that could be set for some properties was incorrectly recognized as invalid, even though it was valid. The minimum value check has been reviewed and corrected for all affected properties.
Fix: Arc Segment - Incorrect Calculation Changed Appearance in Custom Symbols
In extremely rare circumstances, the Arc Segment function could draw a polygon. This issue has been resolved.
Fix: Underfloor Heating - Optimized Heating Circuit Verification
When an arc segment was used in a custom symbol, its appearance changed after insertion into a schematic/circuit diagram or plan document. The calculation of arc segments in custom symbols has been corrected.
Improvement: Underfloor Heating – Faulty Installation Pipes are Selected
When checking the underfloor heating system, the installation pipes identified as faulty are automatically selected. This makes it easier for the user to identify these pipes immediately.
Fix: Underfloor Heating – Heating Circuit Check Optimized
During the heating circuit check, correctly connected heating circuits were sometimes incorrectly identified as faulty. The check has been improved to prevent such false positives.
Improvement: Underfloor Heating Assistant – Heating Circuit Labels are Updated Correctly
The heating circuit labels were sometimes not updated or generated correctly during creation or modification. The label creation process has been improved in the code.
Fix: Underfloor Heating – Installation Pipes Can Be Selected and Adjusted Again
The adjustment of installation pipes was prevented by an error and subsequently removed. This problem has been fixed, and the installation pipes can now be adjusted as usual.
Fix: Symbol Quantity in Legend is Now Correctly Deducted
The quantity of symbols was displayed incorrectly in the legend once a symbol reached a certain number in the design. The same number was then always displayed. This problem has been corrected.
Enlarge = Ctrl + + // Reduce = Ctrl + -
Improvement: Dispatch Toolbox (Distribution Cabinet) Completely Revised
The Dispatch Toolbox (Distribution Cabinet) has been completely revised and updated. A large number of new symbols, along with adjustments to standard sizes, now enable preliminary planning of a distribution cabinet.
Improvement: Translations Updated
Adjustments have been made within the program languages. These adjustments contribute to better explanation, labeling, and understanding within the RED CAD APP.
Improvement: Import Assistant – Minimum Size and Scrollbar
On small screen resolutions, the Import Assistant window was displayed too large, making it difficult to use. The window is now easier to use thanks to a reduced minimum size and the addition of scrolling functionality.
Fix: Minor Bugs in the Underfloor Heating Assistant Fixed
Minor bugs in the Underfloor Heating Assistant have been fixed:
Fix: Opening Project Files Caused a Crash
A very specific procedure for opening a project file could cause a program crash. This issue has been resolved.
Fix: Custom DWG/DXF line types are now automatically corrected
Custom line types that can occur in DWG/DXF files sometimes caused significant performance issues. These line types are now detected and corrected. This fix results in improved performance when working with DWG/DXF files.
Fix: Symbol placement with guide lines fixed
In project files, placing some symbols with guide lines (drag & drop) was no longer working. This issue has been resolved.
Fix: Legend - Arc Segments are now scaled correctly
Symbols or custom symbols drawn using arc segments were not scaled correctly in the legend. This issue has been resolved.
Fix: DWG/DXF Import of Polylines with Global Width
If polylines existing in a DWG/DXF file have a specific "Global Width" value, this value was strictly used. This resulted in objects not being displayed correctly or not being recognized. Now, the value is reset to 0, allowing the RED CAD APP to calculate a line thickness. By default, no specific Global Width value should be set for polylines in DWG/DXF files.
Improvements: Title block and equipment positions revised
The predefined title blocks and equipment positions (from the Label tab) have been completely redesigned. Labeling has been simplified and the appearance updated.
Correction: Schema – Grid alignment corrected
The mouse position was offset by one grid point. This offset made drawing with the "Grid Alignment" function difficult. The error has been fixed.
Correction: Schema – Identification letter corrected (Motor protection circuit breaker)
The new motor protection circuit breaker used the identification letter F for position specifications. According to the standard, this identification letter F is not intended for motor protection circuit breakers. The symbols have been adjusted and now use the correct identification letter Q.
Fix: DWG/DXF Export – Export of Transparent Colors Corrected
Transparent colors were not being exported correctly to DWG/DXF files. This bug has been fixed.
Fix: PDF Background Plan – Invalid Characters
If PDF layers contained invalid characters or characters not used in our character set, the files could not be saved. These characters are now detected and automatically replaced. This bug has been fixed.
Feature: Steiger 2024
The new Steiger 2024 data has been added. The module can now be requested via [email protected].
Feature: Terminal (Alexander Bürkle)
Alexander Bürkle customers can now import projects created in the Terminal Portal directly into the RED CAD APP. Visual planning, especially the installation planning of terminal projects, can now be transferred to the floor plan in the RED CAD APP. This feature is currently only available in Germany.
Fix: Dock point positions are now displayed correctly
When moving the grid, the positions of the dock points were inevitably shifted, resulting in an incorrect display. This issue has been resolved.

Fix: Arc Segment – Mirroring (Horizontal/Vertical)
Mirroring drawn arc segments caused the program to crash in some cases. This bug has been fixed.
Fix: License Screen Closes Application After License Activation
When checking the license information using the "View License Information" function and then clicking the "Cancel" button to close the license information, the RED CAD app would close immediately. This issue has been resolved, so the program no longer closes unexpectedly.
Fix: Translations Corrected
Incorrect translations have been corrected.
