TURKU, Finland, Jan 9, 2025 – MagiCAD is pleased to announc the release of MagiCAD 2025 UR-1.1 for AutoCAD and BricsCAD. This service release resolves issues in the following MagiCAD modules.
Affected software and modules
MagiCAD 2025 UR-1 for AutoCAD: Ventilation, Piping, Sprinkler Designer
MagiCAD 2025 UR-1 for BricsCAD: Ventilation, Piping, Sprinkler Designer
Fixed issues – MagiCAD for BricsCAD
Active storey changes after running duct or pipe calculations
Ventilation, Piping
MagiCAD for BricsCAD sometimes changes the active storey after duct or pipe calculations if multiple drawings are open at the same time. If users run calculations in one drawing and then start drawing systems in a different drawing, the active storey is wrong and the drawn system elements are not shown on the correct floor.
Fixed issues – MagiCAD for BricsCAD and MagiCAD for AutoCAD
Height not included in radiator dimension texts
Piping
If users added Height to radiator dimension text elements and then applied the dimension text to a radiator, the Height value was not shown in the drawing.
Wrong friction loss method in sprinkler calculation
Sprinkler Designer
The Network option for calculating sprinkler networks uses the wrong method for friction loss (Hazen-Williams instead of Darcy-Weissbach). If the calculation is later performed with the System option, the Network option also changes to the correct method. However, when the software is closed and a new session is started, the Network calculation option reverts to the wrong method. Performing the calculation with the wrong calculation method also adds a new unnecessary system into the project.
Hide settings are reset when Autohide is enabled
Ventilation, Piping
Hide settings are sometimes reset when a drawing is saved if the Autohide option is enabled.
