In version 2022.a, a connection library has been added, allowing users to save defined connections so they can be applied to other nodes of the same or other jobs. This library is common to CYPE Connect Steel and StruBIM Steel.
From the connection editing panel, users will have access to the added options: Import from library, Export to library and Connections library.
- Import from library
This tool allows users to import the list of operations from a connection from the library.
- When importing, if the section layout is not identical to the one saved in the connection, users will be asked to match the sections of the library with the sections of the current node.
- Export to library
Allows a connection to be saved in the job’s connection library. By clicking on "Export", the program will request users to define the reference to save it in the job library.
- Connections library
The connections saved in the library will be available for use in the job itself. To save the connections in this library in the drive and to be able to use them in other projects, share them between CYPE Connect Steel and StruBIM Steel, or share them with other computers, users must click on "Export the element to a file".
The management of this library works in the same way as the other libraries. The following options related to the management of this library are shown at the top:- Import the elements saved in the drive to the project
- Update the elements used in the project
- Export the element to a file
- File selection with initial values for the creation of a new job
