CET Designer 2.0    

Launched May, 2008

CET Designer 2.0 offers several new features and enhancements, such as improved print handling, simplification of the Extension Manager, and enhancements in the 'Calculation' dialogue. A general speed up of the software is also a feature.

With the release of CET Designer 2.0, the release notes will be sent out both to your e-mail address and through CET Designer Online, the new messaging system in CET Designer. Due to this, you might receive the release notes for CET Designer 2.0 twice. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause you and are hoping for your indulgence.

Desktop publishing capabilities 

CET Designer 2.0 offers desktop publishing capabilities which will give you more freedom in designing print-outs. You are now able to transfer a whole drawing, or parts of a drawing, to a new paper view where you can create the desired layout with title blocks, images and text. 

Enhanced 'Calculation' dialogue

The 'Calculation' dialogue now has expanded functionality which offers new options when working with parts lists and pricing. The enhanced 'Calculation' dialogue is divided into two parts, an 'Article view' and a 'Comparison view'. Possibilities to change currency and the settings for the summary can also be found here.

Simplified Extension Manager

The Extension Manager has been simplified to make the management of Extensions and licenses easier. In the Extension Manager you will find information about your installed Extensions, manage licenses, and be able to download new extensions or updates.

New messaging system

With CET Designer 2.0 you will receive messages through a new messaging system called CET Designer Online. You will receive release notes for CET Designer, Tips & Hints and other information through CET Designer Online.

You can access your CET Designer Online inbox by clicking the envelope icon next to the Extension Manager button on the top of the application window.

New appearance of selected components

In CET Designer 2.0 all selected components will be surrounded by a purple rectangle.

New support possibilities

The CET Designer Help Desk now offers live support by chat or by remote control of your computer. Visit our website to view the different options on how to contact the CET Designer Help Desk.

New 'Freeze' function

CET Designer 2.0 includes the ability to "freeze" parts of the drawing area, to avoid affecting those parts when editing the drawing.

ProjectMatrix components

It is now possible to show ProjectMatrix components as basic or more detailed. Showing fewer details will result in greater speed when working with CET Designer.

Importing DWG file

With the release of CET Designer 2.0 it is possible to handle CAP-, ProjectMatrix- and FSL- attributes when importing a DWG file.

Flooring

With CET Designer 2.0 it is possible to manually set the size of the floor or draw a free-form area on the floor. This allows you to have more than one type of flooring in a project (i.e. tile and carpet).

Possibility to import more image formats

The support and handling of different image formats have been expanded. You will now be able to import most of the common image formats into CET Designer, including GIF, PNG, BMP and JPG.

Wall images

A new feature makes it possible to put imported images on walls in CET Designer to give the appearance of artwork or a logotype. The images can also be framed.

Extended list of fonts

CET Designer 2.0 has an increased list of fonts for you to use on text written with the 'Text tool'.

Faster selection of multiple objects and speed update

CET Designer deals with selections of multiple objects much faster than before and generally operates much faster due to overall enhancements and improvements.
