We corrected inconsistencies that might have occurred when you processed special data with 3D circles using the 'Print Preview', 'Print Layouts' or 'Export PDF Data' tool.
You can change the display scale in layout mode.
When there are several layout elements, you can quickly and easily select the layout element you want to use for transferring the layer visibility.
We sped up the definition of layout windows outside the layout sheet.
When you move the ALLPLAN window while 'Print Layouts - Multiple printout' is active, the viewport toolbar moves correctly with the ALLPLAN window.
You can always cancel multiple printout of layouts by pressing ESC.
When you archive layouts, ALLPLAN saves the attribute file with its correct name.
A print profile in a project is saved together with the project backup so that you can import it to other computers and use it there.
You no longer need to define the layout elements you want to modify in conjunction with 'Transfer Layer Visibility' a number of times.
Bonus Tools
3D Modeling
We improved dialog boxes and messages in the 3D Modeling module.
We adapted element selection using the brackets in the new 3D modeling tools to the ALLPLAN default: opening a selection rectangle no longer 'unselects' the elements you have already selected.
ALLPLAN displays elements you selected for 'Extrude Along Path' in the selection color defined even if 'Color stands for pen' is active.
'Chamfer' correctly cuts 3D lines created as polylines.
You can quickly and easily select the path for 'Extrude Along Path'.

Copying data to the Clipboard using CTRL+C does not destroy the link between opening elements and openings.
You can quickly and easily edit joints using handles.
ALLPLAN quickly updates the data after you have inserted door SmartParts in door openings.
