Beta Features Now Released!

All the features from our recent Beta release are now available to everyone! This release packs a ton of improvements to significantly speed up your workflows in Draw mode. We've completely re-designed how selection works in GearConnect, giving you powerful new ways to select, organize, and edit multiple items at once.

With over two dozen improvements, this is the most features we have shipped in a single release yet! Now you'll be able to work faster than ever - whether you're aligning gear across your drawing, bulk-editing labels, or creating multiple connections in a single action.

Please refer to the Beta changelogs for full details, but the highlights include:
  • Select any item - gear, text boxes, gear groups, and connections
  • Multi-selection with strict/crossing modes and type filtering
  • All new Selection Toolbar for quick access to common tools
  • Alignment and distribution tools
  • Bulk actions for labels, colours, opacity, lock/unlock, and more
  • Create multiple connections at once between gear (Pro feature)
  • Ports automatically highlight their compatible connections while drawing
  • Auto-numbering for bulk label editing (Pro feature)
  • New Node Edit Mode for customizing connection paths
  • Export and print just a selection of your drawing (Pro feature)
  • Improved performance with virtual rendering for large drawings

Easier Way to Select Port Options

Selecting the right connector or signal type for your ports just got a whole lot easier! With over 140 connector types now available, the old flat list was getting hard to navigate. The new categorized selector menu organizes all available options into logical categories, so you can quickly find what you need.

The selector features a two-panel layout with categories on the left and options on the right. Click a category like Audio, Video, Networking, or Power to filter the available options, or select All to see everything. Each connector type displays its colour swatch for easy visual identification, and you can search or use keyboard navigation to quickly find what you need.

As part of this update, fiber types have been merged into the connector list and can now be selected directly alongside all other connector types. All existing library items have been updated to this new format, and your projects will be automatically upgraded the next time you open them.

Improvements

  • The account verification email is now automatically resent when needed such as trying to sign up for Pro
  • The email sent after being removed from a team no longer suggests Guests or Library Managers may have Pro access
  • Fiber types of the same connector but different modes can now connect via an adapter
