Summary of changes and additions with respect to version R741:

• When opening old projects, an info message appears. The user can choose to open the project, make a backup copy before opening, or not open the project. In any case, opening the project causes a conversion to the latest version.
• In addition to the function to import a database or license file via drag and drop, new menu items have been created. These menu items can be used to import and manage license files and databases.
• In addition to the standard Eaton material database, a user material database can be used. This makes it possible to create your own material and manage it independently of the standard material database.
• The following measures have significantly improved the use of the Configurator's memory (RAM):
  1. The Configurator application can use more than 2 GB of memory when used on 64-bit operating systems. The configurator itself remains a 32-bit application for the time being.
  2. When the Configurator is started, not all xEnergy systems are read in (Basic, Light, Safety, Main). As a result, considerably less RAM is used when the Configurator is started. Only when creating a project with a specific system are the necessary rule set files loaded. In addition, the start time of the Configurator is significantly reduced.
  3. A separate program instance is used for each open project. By reducing it to one project per instance, the required RAM is limited to this project.
  4. When creating elements in the Configurator, more memory was used than was actually required for the new elements. The memory requirement is now kept to a minimum even after a new element has been created.
  5. Unused (e.g. old) material databases are always closed and removed from the RAM.
  6. No longer needed memory will be released as soon as possible to always have as much memory available as possible.
• The speed of duplicating sections / enclosures and entire distribution boards equipped with components has been improved.
• The speed of component creation has been improved under the following circumstances:
  1. A module is selected in which there is still sufficient installation space available for the new component.
  2. A component is selected that is installed in a module in which there is still sufficient installation space available for the new component.
  3. If the distribution board or the project is selected, either the last element found as installation location or the last selected element is selected.
  4. If the currently selected element is not suitable for installation, either the last element found as the installation location or the last selected element is selected.
  5. If a panel / enclosure is selected, it is searched first as before for the installation space.
• The new Multiple Selection option allows multiple elements to be selected together and then deleted or copied and pasted.
• Fixed a bug that caused the location names to be duplicated.
• Fixed an error that occurred when opening a project copy created with the Save As function.
• The incorrect display of the category names "Flat Copper" and "Stabilizer/Supporter" in the shopping cart was corrected.
• In the shopping cart errors with the categories were corrected, by the error articles in the shopping cart were not correctly displayed or hidden.
• When copying graphic or text elements, the relative position of the graphic element to the parent element is now retained when copying the parent element.
