General improvements

General improvements

Optimisation for high-resolution monitors

The variety of monitors and their resolutions has increased significantly in recent years. In ver-
sion 7.2 of M4 PLANT & DRAFTING, support for high-resolution monitors (e.g. 4k monitors) has
been optimised. To match this, the user can now use even larger icons in the software. For dis-
play in large screen resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160), two new icon sets have been intro-
duced (xlarge and xxlarge). The optimisation for high-resolution monitors also includes the
improvement of the display in different scales, which can be made in the Windows operating
system settings for the screen.
The selection of which icon set is used is made, as before, via the environment variable
M6ICONSIZE in the login.bat file or in the uservars.bat of the M4 PLANT & DRAFTING project.
Figure 1 Setting the icon size in login.bat in the associated project

Update of the development environment

M4 PLANT & DRAFTING 7.2 was built with the latest generation of compilers, frameworks and
SDKs. Their runtime libraries (redistributable) are delivered with M4 PLANT & DRAFTING.
To create a customised M4 DRAFT main program (draft.exe) with DARS extensions or
standalone DARS programs, you need Visual Studio 2022 with the C/C++ compiler and Intel
oneAPI 2022 with the Fortran compiler.

Simplified configuration of the license server

Version 7.2of the M4 product range comes with a new administration tool for the license server.
It displays the installation status of the license server software and the status of the license ser-
vice. Different options are available, that greatly simplify the installation and administration of
the license server. With the help of the program a new license file can be imported, the license
service can be started and stopped or existing license server installations can be updated. The
software supports the administrator at every step and also automatically creates backups.

News and Changes

Drawing templates

In version 7.2 the handling of drawing templates in M4 DRAFTING has been optimised. All
available drawing templates are now displayed in the ribbon menu item: New. There are M4
DRAFTING standard templates for metric and imperial drawings as well as customer-specific
(own) templates. The grouping into M4 DRAFTING (2D), 3D, Factory Layout (FL) and R&I (PID)
is new.
Figure 6 Drawing templates in M4 DRAFTING

It is separately configurable which drawing sets are displayed as standard templates (e.g. a fac-
tory standard) and which custom templates (e.g. templates for a specific customer project).

Invert zoom direction

As of version 7.2, the direction of the zoom function on the mouse wheel can be reversed in M4
DRAFTING. This means that users who are used to a different orientation of the mouse wheel
zoom can now set it according to their personal needs. The setting for this can now be found in
the preferences.

Dynamic Instrumentation Symbols

P&ID instrumentation symbols adapt to the texts they contain as of version 7.2. If the numbers
or texts are short, they remain round. If the texts become longer, the symbols are stretched
according to the text length.

New area for P&ID options

In version 7.2, the settings for the P&ID module have been given a new area in the preferences.
The settings apply to all P&ID schemes created and modified in M4 DRAFTING. They can be
changed centrally at this point for a specific customer project.

A new stand-alone tool for model conversion

From version 7.2, M4 PLANT & DRAFTING include a new stand-alone tool for the automated
conversion of files in 3D formats. MODUtil is started independently of M4 PLANT & DRAFTING.
It allows both single conversions, e.g. exporting MOD files into STP format, and chain conver-
sions, e.g. importing STP files with downstream simplification of the model.
The conversion programmes that MODUtil uses are command line programs. They are continu-
ously being developed.
The options for each individual conversion program are compiled in the graphical user interface.
They can be selected very conveniently from there and saved under a name (task configura-
tion).
The composition of individual tasks can also be saved (job configuration).
Task configurations and job configurations can be compiled by the administrator or by experi-
enced users and then made available to all users.
You start a job by applying a job configuration to one file or to all files in a directory. You can
conveniently have time-intensive conversions carried out overnight.

Transfer of the assembly structure from STEP files

As of version 7.2, STEP files can be imported including the assembly structure they contain.
The structure is retained both after the import and after the simplification of a model. The struc-
ture can then be used in 3D Design process for further tasks, such as processing in the M4
PLANT Component Designer, or subsequently being used when exporting to other formats. It
can also be viewed in the 3D viewer M4 REVIEW. In the same way, it can be transferred to the
VR-capable FBX format.

The assembly structure is transferred to the MOD format when STEP files are imported.
In addition, the BREP (representation of the models as Boundary Representation) are also
transferred to the MOD file during the STEP import.

Better simplification of models

Large 3D models should be simplified before they are loaded into M4 PLANT. The data reduc-
tion achieved by model simplification should be such that the models can be processed in M4
PLANT smoothly and without loss of performance. With version 7.2, further options for simplify-
ing models have been added to the MODSIMPLIFY module. Users can now remove radii from
models by specifying a maximum radius when simplifying a model. When simplifying, smaller
radii are then detected and converted to a simple edge. Likewise, the closing of holes in models
has been optimised.

M4 PLANT

Create models and drawing derivations in the background

Exporting extensive 3D data or processing 3D data into 2D drawings can take some time in cer-
tain circumstances. From version 7.2 of M4 PLANT, the processes for conversion or generation
of drawings are started as a background process. This means that the user interface is no lon-
ger blocked and the M4 PLANT user can continue working on the design during the export. In
addition, the performance of the actual conversion has been improved.

Improved editing of textures

The creation and editing of textures has been improved in M4 PLANT version 7.2. For example,
tools for adjusting polygon textures have been added, making it very easy to adjust and rework
the outer contours or holes.
Figure 15 Textures dialogue

Multiple selection for systems, subsystems and disciplines

Due to the improved selection filters, several systems, subsystems or disciplines can now be
selected at the same time. This new multiple selection option eliminates the need for additional
work steps, which saves time.
To select a single subsystem, system or discipline, select it as usual in the pull-down menu or
click in the graphic area with the left mouse button (LMB). To add another one, click on it in the
graphics area with the middle mouse button (MMB) or use Shift+LMB.

New Options for the selection of the view

The Options for selecting standard views have been optimised and extended.

Steel - creating holes in steel beams

In M4 PLANT version 7.2, the steel construction module has been extended with the function
for creating holes in steel beams. This function is very similar to the well known function for cre-
ating holes in steel plates. It also uses the Route tool to define the profile that will be turned into
a hole.

Steel - creating mitre cuts

As of version 7.2, the dialogue for creating cuts between steel beams and the option for creating
mitre cuts have been extended. This means that two steel beams can now also be connected
with a mitre cut.
Figure 19 Mitre cuts between two steel beams

Factory Layout - Open and Edit symbols

2D symbols for creating a layout with the Factory Layout module in M4 PLANT could not be
edited until now. With version 7.2, these can now be opened for editing and then closed again.
This provides the user with additional editing options for the layout process.
