Terminal strips
The numbering of the terminal strips can start with any number. This makes it possible that each terminal in the drawing has a unique number.

Select the terminal and enter the Start number property in the Others group in the Properties panel. Starting from this number, the individual terminals of the terminal strip will be numbered in ascending order.
Position of the title block
In landscape format, the title block can be placed on the left, bottom or right edge of the drawing.

Imperial Units
In the program settings: F12 - System - Others you can select which units to display:
- a) Metric
- b) Imperial (decimal numbers)
- c) Imperial (fractions)
If the page scale is set, the coordinates of objects can be entered in the form number unit or number fraction unit in the Properties panel.
For example:
- 5 cm
- 11.9 mm
- 5.41 "
- 1 3/8 "
Symbol editor
In the symbol editor, object coordinates are given in tenths of a millimeter. This is convenient, because the values can be changed using the mouse wheel. If you want to enter the coordinates with units (e.g., "5 cm"), press F12 in the symbol editor, select Symbol and check the box Use units in the Properties panel.
Snap
Snap can be entered in metric or imperial units, e.g., 4 mm, 0.5", 1/2", etc.
Panel Symbols graphically
In this panel, each symbol displays its name underneath the symbol. Using the slider at the top of the window, you can change the size of the symbol previews.
Arc defined by three points
To start drawing the arc, use the menu command Draw - Arc defined by 3 points or this icon: 
.
The first mouse click defines the start point
To finish drawing the arcs, press the Esc key.

Improved Import from AutoCAD
When importing from AutoCAD as vector graphics, it is possible to specify the size of the imported drawing.
After inserting the imported symbol into the drawing, although it can be resized with the mouse, it is more convenient if the symbol is approximately the size it will be in the drawing.
The size can range from 3 cm (for small symbols) to 100 cm (e.g. for instance drawings with an extensive floor plan). You can set the desired size using the slider at the top of the window.
New option when renumbering connections.
You can now use the "renumber all except connections with letters in the name" option. If you use this option, connections like "L1", "L2", "PEN", etc. will not be renumbered.
