In version 2023.d, the print management of elements according to their category has been added. From "3D Scene" > "Drawing attributes", users can access the dialogue box that allows them to select the categories to be printed ("Print by category" tab). Unchecked categories will be displayed on screen but will not be printed. This implementation is particularly relevant, for example, with connection symbols, which should be displayed on screen so they can be tagged, but not printed (see new feature "Connection symbols in drawing layouts").

Line type editing for vector image scenes
Line style editing by category has been added. The dialogue box for editing the line style can be accessed from the "3D Scene" tool > "Drawing attributes" option. When the scenes are defined as a vector image, the edges of the elements can be seen on screen according to the line style and the colour chosen by the user between the identification colour or the printing colour.

Connection symbols in drawing layouts
In version 2023.d, connection symbols are included in the "Drawing composition" in order to label the connections in the views of the structure. The connection symbol can be snapped with the "Tag" tool. The automatic tag will display the connection reference. The connection symbols will not be printed by default, however, users can manage this printing (see the new feature "Print management by categories of elements").
