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.

Transparent preview in dockable windows

In version 2025.c, the preview for moving dockable windows within the apps has been improved. Now, when dragging a dockable window, the preview of its docked position is displayed transparently, allowing a clearer view of the underlying work area.

This new feature makes it easy to find the optimal location for each dockable window without obstructing important elements or losing sight of relevant project information. It also provides a smoother and more modern visual experience, aligned with best practices in user interface design.

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

Changes to the apps available in CYPE Menu

The following modifications have been made to the apps available in the CYPE Menu:

New apps

  • Now, in addition to the apps that are translated into the installation language of the CYPE Menu, there are also apps available in English.

Deleted apps

  • CYPEPLUMBING Solar Systems. Integrated in CYPEPLUMBING.
  • CYPETEL Schematics. Replaced by CYPETEL.
  • CYPELEC Grounding IEC and CYPELEC Grounding IEEE. Integrated into CYPELEC and CYPELEC Distribution.

Link to the project owner's public profile on BIMserver.center

Now, from the BIMserver.center project information window (displayed by clicking on the project name visible in the top right bar of the application), the owner's public profile page can be accessed on the BIMserver.center platform via the link inserted in the text representing the owner's name.

Element selection tool. Copy multiple times

As of version 2025.a, it is now possible to copy ("Ctrl+C") a group of elements and paste ("Ctrl+V") them in several places with the selection tool. In previous versions, the elements selected for copying could only be pasted once.

The "Element selection" tool was implemented in version 2021.e.

Quick access toolbar

As of version 2025.a, CYPE applications with a "Ribbon" have a customisable quick access toolbar (QAT), located in the top left corner of the program. This bar contains a set of commands that are separate from the active ribbon tab.

To add or remove a command from the quick access toolbar, a button has been included to access the configuration of the toolbar. Clicking it displays a window where users can add commands from the application's menus. Specific commands can be selected or all the commands found in a menu can be added using the "Assign all" button.

The list of commands added to the quick access toolbar provides options to perform the following actions:

  • Move up (move to the left) or move down (move to the right) commands in the toolbar.
  • Add a dividing line to the right of the button.
  • Remove a command or dividing line from the toolbar.

Each application can include several commands in the initial settings of the quick access toolbar and can be restored using the "Default settings" option. Furthermore, applications that are connected to the BIMserver.center platform include the "Update" and "Share" options in their default settings.

Shortcuts for all applications

CYPE apps have keyboard shortcuts common to all programs. In versions before 2024.e, each program displayed the keyboard shortcuts for each app via the "Search and activation of commands and options" in the top left-hand corner of the programs.

As of version 2024.e, the "Shortcuts for all applications" tab has been implemented in the dialogue box displayed when selecting this option and it shows all the keyboard shortcuts common to CYPE apps.

Display floor view templates in the 3D view

For 3D views defined within applications with a 3D working environment, the "Show selected templates in each floor view" option has been added. When activated, the templates visible in each of the floor views will be displayed in the 3D view in the dimension corresponding to these views.

Managing the visibility of templates in the view configuration window

As of version 2024.c, applications with a 3D working environment can manage the visibility of templates from the view configuration panel. For this purpose, the "DXF-DWG templates" tab has been added, where a list of all the templates imported into the project is displayed together with a checkbox to indicate which ones should be shown in the view.

Incorporation of manufacturers' libraries

Version 2024.c of the CYPE programs listed below incorporates product libraries from different manufacturers so that they can be downloaded and used in the BIM model generated by the program.

  • CYPE Architecture
  • CYPE Construction Systems
  • CYPELEC REBT
  • CYPELEC NF
  • CYPELEC PV Systems
  • CYPELUX
  • CYPELUX CTE
  • CYPELUX EN
  • CYPELUX SCE
  • CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems
  • CYPEFIRE
  • CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems

Installation modes (professional, campus, evaluation, temporary license)

All CYPE programs can be installed in their different versions (Professional Version, Evaluation Version, Campus Version, Temporary License). In previous versions, users could only choose the type of version to be installed from the classic CYPE menu.

As of version 2024.a, the selection of version types has been implemented in all CYPE programs on the BIMserver.center platform.

As of version 2024.d, this selection can be made during the installation of all CYPE programs, regardless of where they are downloaded.
