Direct opening of projects with predetermined apps
As of version 2026.b, project files are automatically associated with the corresponding CYPE app in the Windows environment. This means that you simply double-click on the file to open it directly in the appropriate program, without having to select it manually. This improvement streamlines the workflow and provides a smoother and more efficient user experience.

New report templates in Arquimedes
In version 2026.a, three new report templates have been incorporated in Arquimedes, which are currently only available in Spanish: "pl_residuos02.pla" (Construction and demolition waste (percentage of non-hazardous waste)), "pl_00222_vec.pla" (VEC and PBL summary sheet (Multilevel)) and "pl_cte010_2.pla" (Bill of quantities (V Bill of quantities) + Description).

Zoom in the report template editor
In version 2025.d of Arquimedes and Arquimedes and Job control, users can now zoom into template editing by pressing the "Ctrl" key while moving the mouse's scroll wheel.
This action can be used to increase and decrease the size of objects and texts in the record areas, making it easier to edit templates.
Three new options have also been added to the top toolbar.
- The first button "Zoom (-)" is used to decrease the size of the objects in the work area.
- The second button restores the default zoom state and displays the current and the percentage to be recovered (100%).
- The third button "Zoom (+)" is used to increase the size of the objects in the working area.
Another change this new feature has introduced is that the position of the icon that indicates whether a "Zone" has a "Script before printing" and a "Script after printing" has been modified. Now, the icons appear right at the beginning of the "Zone". The first part in dark grey is the "Section" and the part in light grey is the "Zone".

Checking permissions when sharing a contribution in the BIMserver.center project
As of version 2025.d, when clicking the "Share" option of the apps (before starting the generation of the contribution files), a check is made to ensure that the user is part of the BIMserver.center project team. If the user does not have the appropriate permissions, a warning message is displayed. This prevents the generation of unnecessary files when the user does not have editing rights.

Links to the CYPE website in the apps help menu
In version 2025.c, new options have been added to the "Help" menu of all CYPE apps, providing direct links to key resources on the CYPE website. These options make it easier to access to useful information and Technical Support, improving the overall experience of using the program.
The new options are the following:
- Technical support: This link provides information on the different ways of contacting the CYPE Technical Support team to clarify any queries, obtain customised assistance and solve any problem related to the apps.
- User community: This option provides access to the CYPE user community, where users can share experiences, ask questions and discuss solutions with other professionals using the same tools. This community encourages the exchange of knowledge and best practices, helping to make the most of the program's features.
- Learning resources: This link leads to a collection of learning resources, such as tutorials, manuals, videos and articles, designed to help you understand and use CYPE apps more efficiently. These materials are designed for all levels of experience, from beginners to advanced users, and are an excellent source of information to expand skills and technical knowledge.
These new additions make it easier to access information and provide the necessary support to improve the users' experience with the apps and to encourage professional development.

Improved management of DXF and DWG templates
Version 2025.c of the CYPE apps includes the following improvements in the management of DXF and DWG file templates:
- Reading DXF/DWG files with updated version
As of version 2025.c, CYPE apps can read DXF/DWG files up to AutoCAD® version 2025.
- Improved template preview
Advanced graphic management has been implemented in the template selection and transformation panels to optimise the template drawing preview window and facilitate the movement of the drawing from this panel.
- Simultaneous transformations on the template
The application of the following transformations on an imported template has been improved:
- Selecting the visible area of the template
- Changing the coordinate origin of a template
- Adjusting the scale of a template

Update notification available
As of version 2025.b, applications now display a warning message in their initial window when a new update is available. This message provides information about the "installed version" and the "available version", together with a direct link to the Store page of the BIMserver.center web platform.
Clicking on the “Upgrade to the latest version” button automatically starts the download and installation process of the application. This feature ensures that the most current version of the program is always being used, thus benefiting from the latest improvements.
This method replaces the automatic notification and update process of a new version in the BIMserver.center programs available in previous versions.
