GearConnect v2 in Floating: only Item Settings open for Projector 1, the side rail, toolbar and Mini Map floating over an AV system drawing

Thanks to all of you.

We've been working closely with a number of customers over the last several months, combined with over two years of your feedback, to help shape this next chapter of GearConnect.

v2 Beta will continue to evolve based on your input, and get new features as we prepare for the full release. Thank you to everyone who has helped get it this far already!

Fit more on every screen.

The whole app has received tighter spacing, with less dead space, smaller text, and more compact layouts.

Giving you more space to work with your projects on every page. No more 50" monitors required.

Focus on what matters.

The new adaptive UI automatically fades away into floating bubbles, giving you a cleaner workspace.

Style it your way.

Design is subjective, and we've heard your feedback. We often get told everything from "The app looks amazing, it's the best looking system drawing app I've ever seen" to "The UI is weird".

Weird can be good. But you get to decide that.

That's why we now offer 12 different looks to choose from to suit your own flavour of weird.

Neon Glass with a splash of colour

Theme

Choose from various subtle yet impactful styles.

A glass design for a modern look, or opt in for a flatter, more professional style.

Rounded or boxy?

New options to pick your corners and ports. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even choose port circles.

Gear drawn with square corners and square ports
Box

Keep it old school.

Combine the Draft appearance with the new box gear style for a classic, professional, CAD look.

Select anything. Edit everything.

Selection has been completely re-built from the ground up to unlock the full power of bulk editing across every feature. Text Boxes and Gear Groups too.

Everything in the drawing selected at once, with the selection toolbar above, Item Settings open and the count bar reading 34 Total, 12 Gear, 22 Connections

No more scattered feature support.

Multi selection, bulk editing, sub-filter selection, keyboard shortcuts, right-click and edit menus all work the exact same way. On every item type. All features are reorganized into easy to find sections, that stay consistent.

This unlocks major productivity gains over GearConnect v1. Some examples:

  1. Bulk edit Text Box opacities in one action.

  2. Change the colour of every single item in your drawing at once.

  3. Filter your selection to Connections only and press Backspace to delete just those lines.

  4. Quickly see mixed setting states in the Item Settings.

  5. Hide unused ports across several (or all) items at once.

Same options, same features, everywhere.

  • Item Settings for a selection of 34 items, grouped into Selection, General, Display, Ports, Colour and Tags Item Settings
  • The right-click menu for the same selection, in the same groups and order Right-click menu
  • The Edit menu with its General submenu open, matching the right-click menu Edit menu
The selection toolbar with its All Items filter and the edit labels, edit line style, edit tag mode, remove all nodes, align, duplicate, lock all and remove actions Selection toolbar The same actions, floating right beside the selection.

  • Plus over a hundred improvements and fixes.
