35.5. Miscellaneous

Custom Project Templates

The list of project templates offered by the project creation wizard can be extended now with custom, user defined templates. The user may define an arbitrary number of templates in the workspace preferences. Templates may reside on the local file system or remote on a server. Dragging files or URLs from a browser to the preferences page is supported.

Element Creation in the Browser

Its is now possible to create system elements in the browser via the "New" context menu. That way its not anymore necessary to open the diagram editor when creating basic structures.

Limit Problem Markers

The number of problem markers that are generated during failure rate computation, can now be limited to a certain threshold in the workspace preferences. Threshold are given separately for warnings and errors.

Import Percentage of Parent

When importing a BOM, the prediction mode "Percentage of Parent" is now supported. There are two ways to import values, either as percentage value (between 0% and 100%) or fraction (between 0 and 1). The import adapts the prediction mode and scales the values accordingly.

High DPI Displays

The tool is now based on Eclipse 4.7, code name "Oxygen" which comes with a number of smaller changes and enhancements. Noteworthy here is the support for high DPI displays (as 4K UHD monitors) or scaling above 150%.

Improved Contact Support Form

The form to contact the support has been improved, especially in cases where the email client could not be opened. There are now actions and buttons to prepare all relevant information quickly in order to send them with an email client that is not supported by the form (like Google Mail).
