The next release of the ENDUROCADD® software program is available for download by software licensees from the members only section of the ENDUROFRAME® website through this link. There are many enhancements that have been added to the software - as well as fixing a few software bugs - including:-

• Default settings for layout sheets and templates can now be saved, and no longer need to be re-entered for each job;
• The PDF out function has been greatly enhanced to provide crisp, clear drawings in colour, avoiding the need to use external PDF writers;
• The SUPRAFRAME® building system is now incorporated into the software which adds the ability to detail 70mm walls. This system can be purchased from Steel Frame Solutions;
• Major changes to the wall editing function including edits, posts and tie downs;
• One of the biggest changes to truss design in years in the truss editing functions. It is now possible to add collar ties, extend internal chords, mirror webs, and add box gutters. Webs or entire truss configurations can now be copied and pasted saving hours of detailing time.

There is too much to mention here. A full list of changes are available in the release notes, available to view from here.

A big thank you to all of our fantastic beta testers who have made this version available.

If you are not currently an ENDUROCADD® software licensee, contact us to find out how to purchase.

To see first hand the changes that have been made in Build 9.01, David Humphrey will conduct an online training session. This will be held on Teamviewer using a dial in number on Friday, 20th June at 3pm (Sydney time)

To register your interest in attending this online training, click here. We will send out the details of the training session including login and dial in details prior to the session.

We have been hard at work updating the ENDUROTRUSS® and ENDUROWALL® Installation Manuals which have been substantially updated thanks to Sylvia's hard work. These are possibly the best steel framing installation manuals in the industry. Let us know if you agree!

It seems too early to be talking about the next round of ENDUROCADD® enhancements given the current version is just out, however we would like to provide users with a taste of things to come.....

A full list of enhancements to the ENDUROCADD® software that we will be working on are listed in the members-only section of our website. This list is based on requests and comments from you, our detailers. The list is prioritised by items that we can get done first.

We appreciate all feedback, suggestions and, of course, bug fixes. Keep them coming and please send through to Sean who will prioritise them.

We are pleased to announce that we have a new team member, Sylvia Weber, to help with the support and development of the ENDUROFRAME® building system and the ENDUROCADD® software. Read more about Sylvia here.
