New Feature - Search window.  The Products View now features a split window with Search capabilities in the top section and the grid view of the products in your project in the bottom.  This is a major enhancement over previous search functionality:

  • Easier, more intuitive interface to find the products you want and add them to your project.
  • Much faster operation; near-instantaneous results as you type.
  • Results returned dynamically for any part of your search phrase, as found in products' Model Number and Description fields
  • Search across All Manufacturers, or narrow search to individual Manufacturer libraries.
  • Doubleclick to add a product to your project or, for multiples of that product, just set a quantitiy and click the Add button.
  • User Defined Products included in Search.

New Feature: customizable default Product Attributes.  You can now define what Attribute placeholders will be added to your products when inserted into a project.  Current defaults include:
     'Function'
     'Location'
     'Product ID'
     'Room'
     'System'
     'Type'
     'Zone'
and you can add, change or delete any Attribute name by simply modifying the list.  This feature is accessed through Tools | Personalization | Settings.

Improved AutoSave: performance enhancements reduce AutoSave times by >50% in test cases.
