Please convert your symbols to make them compatible with version 11. To start the conversion, select the File – Convert symbols to new format command.

Upgrading from a version older than version 10:

First download version 10.6 (portable), Do not install it, just unzip it to the harddisk and perform the conversion. Then you can install version 11 upgrade.

Export as PDF

The export as PDF is subject to two restrictions:

  1. It only works on Windows 10.
  2. Cross-references are not supported.

Snippets

You can save and reuse parts of drawings that you use frequently.

To save a snippet:

  1. In your drawing, select the objects that represent the snippet.
  2. Invoke the Edit – Save as snippet command.

Transfer snippets to another computer:

The snippets are stored in the symbol library in the “_CONF\snippets” directory. Individual snippets are saved in files with the extension "snippet".
