hyperCAD gets a 2008 revision September 2008
 
Optimisations and improvements have been made to hyperCAD. Now the properties of work planes and references systems can be configured using a shortcut menu, for example. Users also have a considerable amount of freedom with the configuration and appearance of the work planes, allowing them to adapt these according to their individual needs.

A completely revised layer management also provides more clarity. It can be activated in the browser’s taskbar and is always available. The status of each layer can be seen at a glance: name, colours, line type and thickness, number of elements or the status.

Improvements have also been made for simple 3D surfaces and solid functions. New functions, such as ‘rotational extrusion’ or ‘triple tangential rounding’ have been implemented in hyperCAD® 2008.1, which makes modelling even easier for the user.

A completely revised graphic interface is especially relevant when working on large STL networks. The performance increases in this case, compared to the previous version, by a factor of 4 to 5. The stock representation in hyperMILL also benefits from this improvement.
